The recent LCC was Harvey’s final Learning Curve Camp here at Ramblers. Harvey has retired. However before he left there was a send off for him on Saturday night. It was terrific. A lot of old mates came along and wished him well and gave him a bit of a “roasting”. Then Blaino and Harvey put on a great act as Blaino sang and played his guitar while Harvey excelled on “the spoons”. It was unreal. Ali put together a wonderful slide show of Harvey’s life, which was blended together with three very relevant songs, including “Uncle Harvey’s Aeroplane”. It was a night, and a personality to remember. Thanks Harvey.
Bill, Just a note to say thanks to you mate for your continued support it was a great trip. I would also like to bring to your leadership teams attention the exceptional support provided by Andy who did the tandem jump with a great friend of mine, Julie. To say Julie was petrified on the lead up to the big day would be a huge understatement. I had my doubts that she would actually exit on the day. I put her decision to exit firmly in the hands of Andy who excelled in calming her down, reassuring her whilst having a bit of a laugh along the way. The manner in which he guided her through what was to her a daunting task was oustanding to watch. He should be commended not only for his flight skills but also his raport and interaction with the customer. I was not surprised to find out he had a military background. Ramblers should be proud to have such fine men on their books as you and Andy, Bill.
