Quote of the Day

I’d love to go skydiving but I have yet to find someone to work up the courage/do all the work in setting it up to go along with me. But if you’re scared of skydiving, prepare to feel silly..some 92 year-old lady just did it. Inspirational perhaps?

A 92-year-old New Hampshire woman has celebrated her birthday by skydiving from a plane at 13,000 feet.

Swanzey resident Jane Bockstruck tells The Keene Sentinel newspaper she doesn’t know what overcame her when she decided to take the parachute jump.

With a group of friends and relatives watching, Bockstruck leaped Sept. 19 at the Jumptown skydiving club in Orange, Mass., west of Boston. She says she doesn’t remember jumping from the plane.

But tandem partner and jump instructor Paul Peckham Jr. said, “She had perfect form and landed without a hitch.”

He says she’s the oldest person he’s taken on a jump. The second-oldest was 78.
