Thoughts
Russ was part of our competition team called Connect 4. We met last year at national competition where we competed against each other in 2 person canopy sequential. Jumpers know it was canopy formation sequential 2 way. This year we met again in March where he followd me around until I agreed to have him on the same team with me. I will always remember his dedication to the sport we all love and his family he spoke highly of.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
