Bye, Cliff

I drove up to Hollister yesterday to take part in a memorial skydive for a friend of mine who died two weeks ago while at a boogie in Arizona. A bunch of freeflyers formed a head-down round formation, all holding hands. Then we broke the circle and opened it a little bit to make room for Cliff to fly in his "slot." Afterwards, Adam opened up a bag on his arm, releasing some of Cliff's ashes into the sky.
I hope this is the last ash dive that I am ever part of.
The picture was taken after both of Cliff's memorial dives... There were so many people who wanted to participate that we had to break it into two loads on the King Air.
