Kenneth was a flight attendant for Northwest Airlines for many years. He started in the 1960's and retired from that job in the early 1990's due to health problems. He was based out of Seattle and lived in many small towns in Washington over the years. At the time of his death, Kenneth lived in a house in Bonnie Lake, Washington. He purchased the house around the same time as the hijacking. Kenneth also knew how to parachute and learned how to do that in the military during World War II.
Kenneth was never married, had no children, and lived alone. Kenneth had a couple of good friends who cared for him while he was dying. One of the friends was Tacoma,
Washington. He could not recall the name of the other person. Kenneth had met at a bar when was down and out on his luck. Kenneth took him under his wing and helped get him straightened out. is now married and has children.

He had written a few letters to the F.B.I. office in Seattle, Washington, dating back to about 2000. He had addressed the letters to Agent because he had learned at some point that Agent was in charge of the D.B. Cooper case. The letters basically addressed his suspicion that may have been D. B. Cooper.
He had used the pseudonym in the letters to disguise his true identity and rented a post office box
He had used the pseudonym in the letters to disguise his true identity and rented a post office box in Hopkins, Minnesota, to receive any return correspondence from the F.B.I. He had kept his actions and suspicions from his wife and children because he had mentioned his suspicions to them previously and they thought it was a silly notion. He did not want to go through that again.

Kenneth did not elaborate more and the statement struck him as curious.
Sometime later, he saw one of those television shows about unsolved crimes and the subject was D.B. Cooper. There seemed to be several similarities between Cooper and and Kenneth had a lot of qualities which could have made it possible for him to commit the crime. Kenneth lived in the area,

means. To date, the hijacker of Northwest 305, who parachuted from the aircraft with the $200,000 ransom, has not been identified. This case remains the only unresolved airplane hijacking in U.S. history. Although it is very likely that the hijacker did not survive the jump, it remains a possibility. If currently alive, the hijacker would likely be in his mid-70's. As hijacking was a capital offense at the time, DOJ has recently again advised that no statute of limitations exists.
For the information of VCMOS and receiving offices, a recent resubmission of an item connected to the UNSUB has resulted in recovery of male nuclear DNA. This DNA was suitable for entry into CODIS and for identification and elimination. Seattle has identified the below individuals from which a DNA sample is desired to process a comparison.
Seattle has identified the below individuals from which a DNA sample is desired to process a comparison.
A review is being conducted in Seattle to identify possible candidates for DNA comparison. It is anticipated that only a very small minority of the original suspect pool will qualify for this DNA project. Phase II of this review involved the completed review of subject subfiles 1-500.
Due to the extensive and counterproductive media coverage that, in some cases, may result from these contacts, all offices are requested to exercise discretion in dealing with these leads. Some of these suspects may have known they were considered a person of interest, others may not. Likewise the families may, or may not be aware. In cases where the suspect is alive, oral swabs should be solicited. In cases where the subject is deceased, all methods to include hair from shavers, brushes, salvia from postage stamps, etc. should be considered. In those cases where recovery of these items are not possible, obtain proper death and burial records.
In those cases where recovery of these items are not possible, obtain proper death and burial records. Contact Seattle case agent before asking family members for any exhumation authority. In the event the suspect, and/or family, cannot be located, receiving offices should set out appropriate leads to follow up with an information copy to Seattle.
Obtain samples by one of the following methods, in the following order of priority:
1. Oral swabs from suspect (best) 2. Toothbrush, shaver, brush, comb belonging to suspect, or envelope with saliva on flap or stamp (second best) .
3. Oral swabs from both surviving parents (third best) .
4. Oral swab from two of suspect's natural children. (fourth best) .

All family or possible suspects contacted should be advised that this is merely another investigative step following advancement in technologies. No mention of the recovery of DNA evidence should be made. Care should be given so persons contacted are not lead to believe that they or their family member
Care should be given so persons contacted are not lead to believe that they or their family member are a suspect of great interest in this case. Unless specifically requested in lead, no interviews are needed at this time, other than appropriate FD-302 to document DNA samples. Media discussions should be avoided. Refer any media inquiries without comment to the Seattle Media Coordinator, SA

He was last contacted in January 1979 while living in Campbell, California. Following that contact, retained an attorney and refused a polygraph. In 1993, was again identified as being the UNSUB by an another associate who had viewed an "Unsolved Mysteries" segment about this case. Contact Seattle Case Agent if further details are desired.
Due to the passage of time, it is possible that will now cooperate with a DNA sample.

a prior resident of Eugene, Oregon surfaced as a suspect in 1972 on a referral from the Los Angeles Division. One witness onboard NW 305 subsequently advised that bore a very strong resemblance to the UNSUB. Investigation could not rule out based a one week gap in his work attendance at the time of the hijacking. worked for TWA as a and, although pilot trained, was unsuccessful in securing a flying job with TWA as he was described as a "rebel" by his supervisor, and as someone who had money problems. There is no record that was ever contacted by the FBI or has any knowledge of his mention as a suspect in this matter.
3. Richard Floyd McCoy Jr. (deceased) (SUB 386) . SSN 237-66-3779 ** CAUTION SUGGESTED ** ** Family may be uncooperative **
McCoy was convicted of a copycat hijacking of a United Airlines flight in April, 1972 in which he successfully parachuted from that flight over Utah with $500,000. McCoy was
arrested/convicted of that offense and most of the hijack proceeds were recovered.
Airlines flight in April, 1972 in which he successfully parachuted from that flight over Utah with $500,000. McCoy was
arrested/convicted of that offense and most of the hijack proceeds were recovered. McCoy later escaped from prison and was shot and killed in November, 1974 after drawing a weapon on FBI Agents attempting his arrest in Virginia Beach, Virginia. McCoy never claimed to have been COOPER, and there was significant differences in methodology between the two crimes. Evidence indicated McCoy was in Salt Lake City on 11/25/1971, and had possibly attended class at BYU on 11/24/1971. Some evidence exists that McCoy and his wife actually drove to Las Vegas on 11/24/1971. Although the weight of the evidence points toward the elimination of McCoy, speculation continued. In July, 1972 McCoy allegedly told his Pre-Trial officer in Salt Lake City prior to his receiving a 45 year sentence for the UAL hijacking, that he had done "another one". In light of some contradiction in evidence concerning McCoy, and the possibility that the differences in methodology between the hijacking can be partially explained as a possible natural refinement of methods, a DNA sample is being sought.

Subject: Norjak/ Granite Productions request
UNCLASSIFIED RECORD SE 164A-81 
Per your request, I will address each of the 13 items requested by Granite Productions. However, in general, and in the past we have directed most inquiries of this nature to public source information that is everywhere on this case. Much of it is not entirely accurate, but this helps us weed out people who claim first hand knowledge. Many people have viewed such shows as the Granite Productions proposal and used it as a basis to claim their husband/brother/etc. was Dan Cooper. Many people have submitted FOI requests. One FOI lawsuit is pending now. The only exceptions to this strategy in my knowledge was for a two 'mainstream shows (i.e. History Channel) in which we did live interviews. Even in those cases we never commented on the evidence we had, or provided any documents from the case file.
Even in those cases we never commented on the evidence we had, or provided any documents from the case file. The tone was mainly 'Here is the crime, here is the artist conception of the subject, the FBI still has an open case and will not stop looking to resolve this matter, etc". These interviews were done at the express request of FBIHQ due to the national exposure possibilities. We agreed only as it could benefit the case.
I believe we must treat this as any other pending FBI investigation with regard to release of information.
With regard to the specific requests from Granite Productions:
1. Flight Data from FAA and other sources concerning flight path: I know of no instance in which this was provided or discussed with anyone outside of LE. Suggest referring them to public reported sources.
2. Archive film footage of an experiment with the NW 727 after the hijacking. This was provided to Unsolved Mysteries/History Channel, a decision expressly made by SAC Mandigo due to the credible nature of the production and request from FBIHQ, an is also not evidence.
This was provided to Unsolved Mysteries/History Channel, a decision expressly made by SAC Mandigo due to the credible nature of the production and request from FBIHQ, an is also not evidence. I see no harm to the case to providing this tape, other than the precedent set and us having to provide another tape to everyone who claims news affiliation, with no benefit to the case or FBI. We are not providing the tape under pending FOI requests.
3. Map and area searched by FBI. This should not be provided and has not been provided to my knowledge.
4. "Psychological Profiling" conducted by the FBI. Information of this sort has not been discussed. The photo and aged composite that I had done in 1998 can be provided.
5 .- Copy of FBI wanted poster. Refer them to public sources. There was an informational flyer sent out to hunters, and another to LE, 30-plus years ago ..
6. Details about the discovery of the 727 aft stairs placard: Refer them to public sources. This has been reported in those sources.
7. Copy of document listing serial numbers of ransom bills. All the serial numbers were published in either the Seattle Times or PI at the time.
Copy of document listing serial numbers of ransom bills. All the serial numbers were published in either the Seattle Times or PI at the time. No copies of this document (or an other from the case file should be provided). Unsolved Mysteries asked for this and was also turned down.
8. FBI photographs of ransom money found at Tina's Bar near Vancouver in the early 1980's. The money found
6/23/2005
DB Cooper-21878Message
Page 2 of 2
in February 1980 at TENA BAR (Not TINA's Bar) was photographed by news media and appeared in the paper at the time. Refer them to public sources.
9. FBI photographs of search of Tena Bar. Press photos of the search appeared at the time. We should not release any photos produced by the FBI.
10. Information about the condition of money that was found compared to the how the money had been packaged when provided to COOPER. Details of the money as presented to COOPER contain useful holdback details which should not be discussed. We can tell them that the serial numbers of the found money matched the batch of bills given to COOPER during the hijacking.
We can tell them that the serial numbers of the found money matched the batch of bills given to COOPER during the hijacking.
11. Copy of the geologist report submitted to the FBI concerning the possible point of origin of the money found at Tena Bar. This was a report commissioned by the FBI and is evidence. It should not be provided.
12. Documents pertaining to the investigation of Richard McCoy. McCoy was a subject of a Salt Lake FBI case. Information determined about McCoy cannot be provided by Seattle. McCoy's Salt Lake case is particularly sensitive as he was later shot by the FBI after having drawing a gun while being arrested for prison escape and Bank Robbery. Recent attempts by the FBI Salt Lake have been made (at Seattle's request) to get cooperation of family members.
13. Information about physical evidence recovered from NW 305. The FBI never provides information about physical evidence recovered during a criminal pending investigation.
Please bear in mind that all of the above items have been sought repeatedly during a variety of unsuccessful FOI requests.
Please bear in mind that all of the above items have been sought repeatedly during a variety of unsuccessful FOI requests. I don't think we can treat Granite Productions any differently that these requestors, especially since there is no benefit to the case to do so. Otherwise a bad precedent would be set, both for this case and for other old pending major FBI investigations.

Details: The hijacker of Northwest 305, who parachuted from the aircraft with $200, 000 ransom, has not been identified. This case remains the only unresolved airplane hijacking in U.S. history. Although it is likely that the hijacker did not survive the jump, it remains a possibility. If currently alive, the hijacker would be in his mid-70's. Hijacking was a capital offense at the time and DOJ recently advised that no statute of limitations exists.
Due to the extensive and counterproductive media coverage that, in some cases, may result from contacts with witnesses, all offices are requested to exercise discretion in dealing with leads. Tacoma should contact to facilitate the interview of the unknown couple.

DAYTON said that she did not do it for the money. DAYTON had a hard life because of her sexual identity issues, so it was her way of getting back at the world. DAYTON was also upset that she could not be a commercial pilot and thought the FAA was too harsh on private pilots. DAYTON stated that she planned the idea while spending time in the hospital bed after one of her many surgeries. DAYTON claimed that she had put the money in a cistern on a farm near Woodburn. DAYTON had hidden a change of clothes near the farm before the jump. After the jump, DAYTON put women's clothes on, walked to Woodburn, and took a bus to Portland where her car was located.
DAYTON thought that the statute of limitations would be up around that time of her telling the story, so she felt comfortable talking about the story. However, once she found out that the statute of limitations were extended in around 1980, DAYTON told the that she had made the story up, that it was all a "dream".

This is a long shot possibility so I expect that any investigation will be done as discreetly as possible. An investigation of his work record would help to rule him out as a suspect if he was at work when the high jacking went down or had not taken any vacation then.
An investigation of his work record would help to rule him out as a suspect if he was at work when the high jacking went down or had not taken any vacation then. He may have left the job at Rocky Flats before the high jacking but I just do not remember anymore.
Since then the Rocky Flats plant has been completely dismantled and the buildings all torn down and disposed of at a contaminated land fill. Dow Chemical Company was the prime contractor at the time so it would be necessary to check with their main office in Midland Michigan as they no longer have an office in Colorado.
About the time of D.B. Cooper there was a young man who worked with us at Rocky Flats nuclear plant between Golden and Boulder Colorado. He was working in the engineering office and was about 25 years old. His last name was but I do not remember the first name. It should be easy enough to get the first name from Dow Chemical Company records.
One day he showed us a photo of his wife, all decked out in those underwear type outfits they wear in Karate classes, standing next to the instructor.
One day he showed us a photo of his wife, all decked out in those underwear type outfits they wear in Karate classes, standing next to the instructor. She ran off with the instructor and went bonkers. As I remember he was out on Colfax in Denver running across the street in heavy traffic. There may be a police report of that incident in either the Denver or Lakewood police offices depending on how far West it was on Colfax.
He had recently finished a class on sky diving and gave us some demonstrations on how much time you had to open your reserve chute in case the main chute did not open. He had also taken up with some girl who I believe was a daughter of a professor at the college in Boulder.
His behavior was flaky after his wife left him that way. I remember him standing on top of a drafting board and using an old ink well type pen to drop ink on a sheet of paper to see if he could hit a certain spot. That is not the kind of thing one would expect of a young engineering graduate. He did not seem to care if he got a poor report concerning his work activities.

The man calling himself Dan Cooper, also known as D.B. Coo- per, boarded a Northwest flight in Portland for a flight to Seattle- on the night of Nov. 24, 1971, and commandeered the plane, claim- ing he had dynamite.
In Seattle, he demanded and got $200,000 and four parachutes and demanded to be flown to Mexico. Some- where over southwestern Washington, he jumped out the plane's tail exit with two of thed Press Fe e

"Who was Cooper? Did he sur -. vive the jump? We're providing new information and pictures and asking for your help in solv- ing the case," the FBI said in a' statement.
The FBI said that while Cooper was originally thought to have been an experienced jumper, it has since concluded that was wrong and that he almost certain -. ly didn't survive the jump in the dark and rain. He hadn't specified a route for the plane to fly and had no way of knowing where he was when he went out the exit.
"Diving into the wilderness. without a plan, without the right equipment, in such terrible con -. ditions, he probably never even gothis chute open," Seattle-based agent Larry Carr said.
Several people have claimed to be Cooper over the years but were dismissed on the basis of physical descriptions, parachuting experi- ence and, later, by DNA evidence recovered in 2001 from the cheap tie the skyjacker left on the plane.

In 1980, a boy walking near the Columbia River found $5,800 of the stolen money, in tattered $20 bills. "Maybe a hydrologist can use the latest technology to trace the $5,800 in ransom money. found in 1980 to where Cooper landed upstream," Carr said. "Or maybe someone just remembers. that odd uncle."

"Family" Wins Big Z Star Meet
by Jerry Tyson with photos by the Author
The first big star meet to be held outside of California took place November 29 and 30, 1969 at Zephyrhills, Florida. Three ten-man teams competed and the "Family," from Hinckley, Illinois, were the winners. The meet practically never got off the ground. Originally scheduled for the Friday and Saturday of Thanksgiving Day weekend, it suffered from that rarity in Florida, a stalled front smack on top of Zephyrhills airport that produced the following aerological nonsense: Thursday, November 27, low clouds, wind, rain 5500' max; Friday, November 28, same soup plus more rain; Saturday, November 29, low clouds in the morning, chill wind but a promise of a break at noon. It did break at noon and the meet got rolling.

Thursday, November 27, low clouds, wind, rain 5500' max; Friday, November 28, same soup plus more rain; Saturday, November 29, low clouds in the morning, chill wind but a promise of a break at noon. It did break at noon and the meet got rolling.
The Teams
It's hard to find a place in the U.S. that's farther away from most any place else than Zephyrhills. It's even harder to get jumpers to go such great distances for a meet. The odds against getting 10 in a group to ante up the necessary travel, entry fee, and expense money are phenomenal. In sponsoring such a meet to further large star relative work, Jeff Searles took an enormous chance on losing his shirt. Two months before the meet he had verbal promises of as many as five entries for the 10-man event plus several more for the five-man event. The five-man event never got off the ground and three teams showed for the 10-man: the "Family" from Hinckley, Ill., a team from Taft, California and a pick-up team from the Tampa-Zephyrhills area. Neither the "Family" nor Taft arrived with a full quota, the "Family" picking up three jumpers on the spot and Taft picking up two.
The Aircraft
"Big Z" is one of the best places in the U.
Neither the "Family" nor Taft arrived with a full quota, the "Family" picking up three jumpers on the spot and Taft picking up two.
The Aircraft
"Big Z" is one of the best places in the U.S. to have a star meet. In regard to aircraft support it is the best place. On hand for the meet, should they be needed, were the following: a DC-3, a C-47, a Lockheed Electra (like an overgrown Twin Beech), 2 Cessna 196's, and a Cessna 182. All of these aircraft, loaded and flying formation, could deposit 96 jumpers into the air over Z-hills. I personally wouldn't want to be any- where near such a mess but you get the idea - there are a lot of jump platforms at the place.
For the 10-man event a DC-3 was used. It accommodated three 10-man teams at a time plus assorted photographers, observers, hangers-on, et al. Let's lay to rest right here the fallacy that you can't use a DC-3 or a C-47 for RW. It's simply not true. All it takes is know how and a nice hand at the controls. Both the pilot, Bill Griffin, and the co-pilot, Bob Porter, who owned the plane, have several hundred hours each flying jumpers in this type aircraft.
Both the pilot, Bill Griffin, and the co-pilot, Bob Porter, who owned the plane, have several hundred hours each flying jumpers in this type aircraft.
Except for the first round, which the judges didn't see because of intermittent clouds, we were climbing at 1,000 fpm with 35 passengers in the plane and reaching 13,500 feet in 18 to 20 minutes, using 142 gallons an hour. At $7.00 a head it beats flying freight. The exits averaged seven seconds per team and our speed on jump run was 75-80 knots. During the third round they had it down to 70 knots indicated. You say that's not possible? It is and here's how: on jump run the wheels are lowered, quarter flaps are extended and some power is reduced on the left engine. The aircraft has a tendency to yaw in this attitude but any experienced pilot can compen- sate. Very little altitude is lost and at 13,500 who cares? It was a good plane to jump from. You can stand up, stretch, chant exhortational mantras, harass the other teams, in short, really get yourself psyched up for some inspired wrist-breaking.

14The FAA On Seatbelts
It is certainly recognized that a person experiencing an inadvertent parachute opening while secured by a safety belt would suffer serious or possibly fatal injury. On the other hand, we have evidence to show that accidents have been caused by jump occupants who were not wearing their safety belts. The Southern Region recently investigated two such accidents. The pilot in each case was unable to maintain control of the jump aircraft because the parachutists on board were not wearing their safety belts. What should have been nothing more than two minor in- cidents resulted in serious accidents through noncompliance with Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) 91.14.
It is our feeling that safety would suffer far more by allowing parachutists to ignore this rule than would be the case of requiring them to have their safety belts fastened during takeoff and landing.
It is our feeling that safety would suffer far more by allowing parachutists to ignore this rule than would be the case of requiring them to have their safety belts fastened during takeoff and landing. The chances of a pilot having to abort a takeoff run or make an emergency stop during landing will, I think, be greater than inadvertent para- chute openings during takeoff and landing.
FAR 91.14 applies only during takeoff and landing. The rule does not prohibit unfastening safety belts after a takeoff has been com- pleted; however, I would sincerely hope that jump aircraft pilots would request that safety belts be kept fastened until an altitude has been attained. which would at least give the victim of an inadvertent parachute opening a fighting chance for survival.
Your interest in aviation safety is greatly appreciated and we will further explore this problem with the United States Parachute Association and others that we have contact with. It is hoped that you will continue to assist us in our efforts to keep the Federal Aviation Regulations realistic and effective.

3DEPUTY ASSISTANT DIRECTOR'S NOTE
UNSUB, aka DAN COOPER; NORJAK; CAA - HIJACKING; 00: SEATTLE; SE 164A-81 (PENDING)~ 9477
Background:
On 11/24/1971, Dan Cooper hijacked a Northwest Orient Airlines flight, from Portland, Oregon, to Seattle, Washington, by claiming he had a bomb. Cooper demanded four parachutes and $200,000. The hijacker eventually jumped from the back of the plane with a parachute and the ransom money, somewhere between Seattle and Reno, Nevada. Although it is likely the hijacker did not survive the jump, if living, the hijacker would likely be in his mid to late 70's. The FBI Investigation, dubbed "NORJAK", for Northwest hijacking, has totaled over 1000 interviews, tracked leads involving all FBI Field Offices, and considered more than 800 suspects. In 1980, a young boy found approximately $5,800 in decaying $20 bills, that matched the ransom money
In 1980, a young boy found approximately $5,800 in decaying $20 bills, that matched the ransom money serial numbers.
Recent Events:
Various agents have been assigned over the years to manage the leads that continue to come in regarding the investigation and to manage the DNA Project. In 2004, a re-submission of evidence resulted in the recovery of male nuclear DNA and was entered into CODIS for future identification and elimination of suspects. The DNA Project identified possible candidates for DNA comparison and individuals from which a DNA sample should be obtained. In 2006, the Laboratory Division determined the degraded DNA sample could only be used to exclude individuals as possible donors. To date, only a few of the original suspect pool have been included in the DNA Project for comparison with negatives.
In recognition of the 35th anniversary of the hijacking (November 2008), the Seattle Division granted limited media access to various portions of the case files. Numerous e-mails were received in response, but nothing substantive until early March, when the Seattle Division

The children recovered the parachute by cutting the chute from the canopy lines, which were deeply embedded in the ground. attempted to recover the remaining portions of the parachute but his children were unable to locate the original area where the parachute was discovered. Based on comparative analysis of the location of the parachute with Cooper's probable jump zone, the discovery is plausible. The parachute is currently being analyzed and reviewed by subject matter experts to determine if the parachute is consistent with the age and type known to have been used by Cooper. This will determine if further investigation is warranted.
The parachute is currently being analyzed and reviewed by subject matter experts to determine if the parachute is consistent with the age and type known to have been used by Cooper. This will determine if further investigation is warranted. If the preliminary investigation confirms the parachute is related, a determination will be made for further investigation at the recovery site.

Russ Gunby
Russ Gunby joined the US Army in 1940 and made his first jump in 1944 after trying for 3 years to get accepted into jump school. At the time, US Army regulations forbade soldiers from jumping outside of military operations jumps. Gunby disliked this rule and worked to get it changed. He did unofficial jumps, breaking the rules, by using surplus equipment and hiring a pilot for $50. He also founded the parachute club at Ft Ord, CA.
He did unofficial jumps, breaking the rules, by using surplus equipment and hiring a pilot for $50. He also founded the parachute club at Ft Ord, CA.
Gunby wrote Army Regulation 9519 in 1956. This regulation actively encouraged sport parachuting. He went around to many Army bases encouraging the establishment of clubs. Much to his dismay, he received a very cool reception to these ideas.
Gunby would ask a base Colonel to join the local club. The Colonel would ask, "Why?" Gunby would say "Why not, you've been jumping for years?" The Colonel would then reply, "How much will you pay me?".
Gunby said, "I was dumbfounded. For the first time in my life I found out there were Army paratroopers who didn't like to jump. That really shocked me. I was going around with my new regulations saying, "Hey look here, we can all jump." and everybody was saying, "You're nuts, man".
After AR 9519 was official, surplus equipment was made available. The big problem that surface was that anyone could claim to be a parachuting instructor. This lead to injuries and fatalities because of inadequate training procedures.
The big problem that surface was that anyone could claim to be a parachuting instructor. This lead to injuries and fatalities because of inadequate training procedures.
This situation prompted Gunby to hitchhike to the PCA Board meeting in NY in 1959. He asked about proposed safety regulations. He was voted Secretary/Treasurer by the end of that meeting.
Russ Gunby, C-350, was the first skydiving instructor in the US and conducted the first Instructor's course in 1959 in Phoenix, AZ. He also established the Area Safety Officer (now S&TA) and the Conference (now Region) method of representation.

Russ Gunby wrote a book called "Sport Parachuting - a basic handbook of sport parachuting" in 1960 when at age 38 while still in the Army. He mortgaged his home to produce the first printing. Later printings were underwritten by Jeppesen.
More than 80,000 copies were sold. Gunby says of "Sport Parachuting" ... "In the beginning the book filled the void in the absence of knowledgable instructors. Today it's used to augment and reinforce student instruction, and that's good. it has done much more than I originally anticipated."
His book was a cornerstone in writing down methodologies and procedures for the safe training of jumpers.
Gunby's Army career included enlisting as a private, infantry combat leader, combat intelligence officer. He attained the rank of Major in 20 years of service. Gunby resigned from the Army in Dec. 1960 to become full time Executive Director of PCA. He had a salary of about $2000 per year.
PCA was headquartered in Mt. Kisco, NY and Gunby lived in Monterey, CA. He stipulated that PCA had to be run from Monterey in order for him to accept the position of Executive Director.
He stipulated that PCA had to be run from Monterey in order for him to accept the position of Executive Director.
PCA headquarters was relocated to Monterey, CA in 1960. PCA membership was 859. Gunby served as Executive Director from 1958 ( ?? sources conflict) to 1963.
In 1964, Gunby ran for PCA President and relinquished the Executive Director position. Also in 1964, Parachute Club of America (PCA) was changed to United States Parachute Association (USPA) because the word club did not properly express the stature of the organization. Membership was over 10,000.
USPA presented Gunby with its Achievement Award in 1977. The inscription reads: "A founding spirit who saw the future when others doubted. As author, Executive Director and PCA President, he gave countless hours to build the early framework of our sport."
Gunby was awarded PEIA's (former name of PLA) first Achievement Award in 1981. Don Beck, PEIA Secretary said, "When the Parachute Equipment Industry Association first decided to create an Achievement Award,

the principle criterion was a major contribution to the sport parachute field, but most importantly, it had to withstand the test of time. Without question Russ Gunby's contributions meet that criterion. His book, Sport Parachuting, has been used as THE training manual for a whole generation of skydivers and those training methods are still being used. PEIA is proud to present this award to an outstanding man in the filed of parachuting safety."
Gunby battled lung cancer and actually wanted to make a one-lung jump in 1982. Gunby spent the last years of his life in Tahlequah, OK. He died April 8, 1982 from lung cancer.

Russell had tied a bag of money to the parachute he was wearing. The impact of the parachute opening caused the bag to snap loose. Russell spent the next two days looking for the money bag, but abandoned his efforts fearing law enforcement authorities would eventually discover his location.

Military records further identified Russell as having a date of birth of October 1, 1922 and place of birth Englewood, Colorado. Russell served in the United States Army from 1940 to 1960.
Public records checks reveal that Russell authored the Sport Parachuting Handbook circa 1960. His place in the sport of parachuting is well documented online.
Russell's most prominent mention is in Parachutehistory.com. An article identifies him as the recipient of the 1977 United States Parachute Association (USPA) Achievement Award. Russell is believed to have played a very prominent role in the establishment of the Parachute Club of America (PCA), which preceded the USPA. Also, he was identified in the article as the first skydiving instructor in the U.S.

I didn't rob Northwest Orient because I thought it would be romantic, heroic or any of the other euphemisms that seem to attach themselves to situations of high risk.
I'm no modern day Robin Hood. Unfortunately do have only 14 months to live.
My life has been one of hate, turmoil, hunger and more hate, this seemed to be the fastest and most profitable way to gain a few fast grains of peace of mind.
I don't blame people for hating me for what I've done nor do I blame anybody for wanting me to be caught and punished, though this can never happen.
Here are some (not all) of the things working against the authorities: I'm not a boasting man I left no fingerprints I wore & toupee I wore putty make-up
They could add or subtract from the composite a hundred times and not come up with an accurate description; and we both know it.
I've come and gone on several airline flights already and am not holed up in some obsure backwoods town. Neither am I a psycho-pathic killer. As a matter of fact I've never even received a speeding ticket.
Thank you for your attention.

SUMMERPOWER! CANADA GIVES YOUTH ITS HEAD-AND BREAD
On their summer jobs: Les Ballets Modernes du Québec (above), and the crew from Ontario's Farm Lab Theatre (right), who are turning an old farm into a children's theater workshop.

LOOK SENIOR EDITOR
Each summer when school lets out and turns youth loose on the land, there is less for them to do and less they find worth doing. It figures that young people will start to slip out on a society that has so little use for them. So the government of Canada has taken step one toward easing their annual angst.
Canada is underwriting under- ground newspapers, paying for ven- tures called Gorilla [sic] Radio and The Kundalini Yoga Workshop, but mostly for day camps, wilderness camps, drug-crisis services, drop-in centers, dropout centers, programs for wel-
fare rights and sea gull control, dental hygiene and sex information, and bankroiling troupes of actors, danc- ers, marionettes and tumblers.
To some nervous citizens, "Oppor- tunities for Youth," linchpin of the summer youth program, seems a scheme to subsidize radicals or slip hush money to the vocally abrasive young. But a good many students are happily working for the first time with- in a system they doubted had elbow- room for the likes of them.
The idea was to get kids-high school, college and graduate students -off the streets and out of every- body's hair without them slopping over into the job market.
The idea was to get kids-high school, college and graduate students -off the streets and out of every- body's hair without them slopping over into the job market. Canada's un- employment figures have been sprint- ing a shade ahead of ours, and even when the economy is blooming, there are never enough summer jobs in Canada, any more than there are in the U.S. Neither country has much need for young hands these days, so more youngsters stay on in school longer. Many need summer pay to pick up part of their educational tab. But there are fewer tables to wait on, bells to hop or lives to save for the seasonal amateur.
Both the Canadian Government and ours take on student summer help. But young sunshine bureaucrats pick up only part of the slack. The emphasis on our side of the border is now busy- work for the poor and potentially troublesome. Most jobs are with the Neighborhood Youth Corps, a pov- erty program that gives work experi- ence to youngsters from families be- low the poverty line.
Canada hasn't followed our lead. Canadians haven't had our summer troubles and don't like means-tested benefits (where you've got to prove you're poor).
