<> 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 boeing aerospace co. po box 3999 seattle, wa 98124 good luck! -fred wamsley
