Hello BASE Jumpers,
I know many of you are waiting to hear about the status of the issuing of the numbers, so here goes:
I am Joy Harrison, Rick’s wife of 20 years. We were together just before his first BASE jump (a building), and although it true I am not a jumper, I was present for many of the early BASE jumps in the U.S. Then an now, I hold a personal love and respect for this unique community.
Most important, I am an excellent records keeper. I have the time and initiative and that what is needed here.
Jean Boenish has begun mailing me "The Stuff" I need to get numbers to date. I have not completely figured out the organization, but it is coming together. For those of you who have already sent written requests to Jean, Rick or Randy, I am logging in those with complete information. However there are several I will be writing for more information.
In an effort to help things go smoothly, we need the following information from applicants for a BASE number:
(1) Name, address, phone number where I can call you collect, and/or a self-addressed stamped envelope (S.A.S.E.) to insure personal, private issue.
(2) Name and/or location of each of the four objects, especially your most recent qualifying jump.
(3) Month, day, and year of each object, especially you qualifying jump! Also, realize the time would be helpful in cases of multiple qualifying jumps on the same day. (I need to know who went first). It is also quite possible another person somewhere in the world will submit their information for the same day.
(4) Further information could be a typical log of jump facts from the BASE sites. Any additional personal or jump history of observations you may supply also remains confidential.
On the subject of donations, we are requesting $10.00 for issuing your number to
help our costs for processing and supplies. There is a $5.00 fee if you would like a card. All donations are appreciated, but no way will affect the order of the numbers issued. Checks should be made payable to BASE, on a U.S. Bank, and in U.S. funds ($), or (International) postal money orders.
In respect for privacy of individuals, and integrity of the BASE numbers, we will not be issuing numbers by e-mail. Our BASE Constitution requires confidentiality. For the same reasons, a separate, personal note must be received from each qualifying jumper. A list of qualifying jumpers by an individual is not acceptable. This insures the job is being done in as secure a manner as possible.
P.S. Jean tells me she has the following items available as long as supplies last. You can inquire at her present address: 321 West Durian Avenue, Coalinga, CA 93210-1915, USA.
Identification card for El Capitan Jumper Number $3.00 each
Patches for El Capitan BASE Jumpers $15.00 each
Personalized certificate for El Capitan Jumpers $15.00 each
Six 1981 back issues of BASE Magazine $20.00/set
Questions and suggestions always welcome.
