Ted Rose Memorial, 28-29 July 2007 Skydive Greene County,
Xenia, OH
Friends, family, and skydivers from coast to coast and Canada came to Skydive Greene County in late July for the Ted Rose Memorial Weekend. Ted, a former USA TopPOP, died unexpectedly earlier this year.
Ted’s brother, Jim, joined Pat and Alicia Moorehead for the memorial skydive.
Ted’s granddaughters excitedly shared the DVD of their tandem jumps with their grandfather from a few years earlier.
The poignancy of the day was evident at sunset when 8-year-old Daniel approached one of Ted’s skydiving friends and proudly asked, “Did you know my grandpa?”
