Re: [pope] Jim O'Brien
My eyes saw this thread, and not only did I think I was in the wrong forum, but also that I somehow went back in time about 20 years.

Jim O'Brien was *the* preeminent Philadelphia weatherman of his day. Funny, personable guy. Died in a skydiving accident at the Herd in the early '80s. His death got as much local attention as our most recent dead president got national attention.

Not a particularly appropriate anecdote for the BASE Zone, I know, but I wanted to share my startlement.
