     a couple of people have written in asking for references to 
parachute centers in their area.  the us parachute association 
publishes a list of affiliated drop zones in their magazine every
month.
     i don't feel up to typing in the entire list, but i promise
to send a xerox copy to anyone who asks me for it.
     believe me, you do want to learn at a uspa affiliated drop zone.
affiliation is not a guarantee that a dz is safe, but it does mean 
that they have comitted themselves to meeting certain standards.
specifically, the uspa has regulations about certifying instructors,
and limits the weather conditions students may be put out in.
     i am on uucp, at uw-beaver!ssc-vax!alcmist, or physically
	   mail stop 8j-70

     good luck!
