I jumped in Wichita from 1964-66 and alternated flying the jump plane that belonged to Jerry Little. In 1966 I moved to Dallas and jumped with the Dallas Skydivers until 1970. Earned first place in conference eliminations in 1968 and went to the nationals @ Marana Arizona. Quit skydiving in 1970 to become a pilot and worked for the US Army as an instructor pilot in helicopters for 8 years and finally retired from flying after twenty years. Now retired and writing esoteric literature on Jnana and Raja yoga! Always enjoyed the laughs and stories, especially lighting farts @ Angel's bar in Wichita, and streaking the Pub on Gaston Ave. in Dallas. Anyone interested in swapping lies (actually the truth is much more interesting!) can reach me @ 316-686-4993 in the p.m. Warm thoughts and great admiration for all jumpers! Ken Beaushaw

This is in regard to Lyle H. Cameron; the best parachutist that ever lived and one of the bravest men I ever knew. I worked with Lyle as a fellow Los Angeles Police officer in the years 1959 - 1960.  He was one tough hombre and just happened to save my life one dark evening in a East L.A. bar. He also strongly encouraged my entry into parachuting in general.  The last time I saw Lyle was during the U.S. Olympic trials in 1964 when he, along four other jumpers, targeted the five Olympic rings in the Los Angeles Coliseum.  He was the only one to hit the center ring (his particular target) because of heavy shifting winds. It figures that he would be on target under any conditions. Lyle took no prisoners in life and is certainly one of the most interesting persons that I have ever known. I guess that he is no longer with us - one of the articles in this e-mail search indicate that a "Lyle Cameron" died in Honduras. After reading that, I was surprised  how much that saddened me; however, if that is the Lyle Cameron that I knew, he no doubt went out doing something dangerous - something that he had to do. None of us know what awaits on the other side of life(?) but if there is something there I won't wait so long at that time to look up an old friend. God be with you Lyle.
