rickit 4 #1 Posted November 7, 2022 "Skydivers Know Why Birds Sing... because they can Fly" is a new book by Ricki T Thues. Rick and Paula have been on a skydiving adventure for 35 years. They each have made more than 5000 jumps. They entered the sport during its transition from a thing done by risk taking dare devils to a hobby/vocation which can be enjoyed for a lifetime. The stories of their adventures put the reader into the point of view of the skydiver. More than jumping out of airplanes these stories are tales of Adventure, Awe, Danger, Achievement, Fear and Fun. But beyond the excitement is a story of Love, a love of skydiving and of each other. This is a rollercoaster ride which brought a couple full circle from an item on a bucket list to “an adventure of a lifetime.” Paula and Rick’s more than three decades of skydiving have been the glue of their marriage, relationship and life. The events of the following stories reveal why “Skydivers Know Why Birds Sing”… “because they can Fly.” Here is the Amazon link.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BKYH8V8X/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
