SKY DIVING
My youngest son Brian Wallace and his lovely
wife Suzanne Wallace presently own and operate a drop zone in Ogden Utah.
Brian started skydiving when he was sixteen
years old, while he was attending Bonneville High school in Washington Terrace,
Utah. He sometimes skydived into the Bonneville High football games. He was getting
good grades at the time, was on the honor roll, and Key Club President.
He would ride his motorcycle to the
Cedar Valley drop zone located on the west side of Utah Lake, usually leaving
on Friday afternoon right after school let out. He would spend Friday Saturday,
and Sunday jumping and return home Sunday evening. He was addicted to skydiving.
He and “Flip” Philips.
He owned his own skydiving gear,
altimeter, jump suit, helmet, and so forth, allowing him to jump at a much reduced
rate. Every spare dime he could rake up he spent on skydiving. One, two
parachutes and so on. The addiction almost bunged up his Electrical Engineering
Graduation from Fresno State University, in the event extending his graduation until
he was 29 years old. He used the riverbed to cross Carmel, through North Salt
Lake, arriving at the Ogden City Airport his final base headquarters the Ogden
City Airport.
After graduation he got a sales
engineering job at “Heatcom” in their North Salt Lake office. Although he was
the top sales man in the company, he was fired for not doing the paper work and
soliciting new customers. You guessed it; he was skydiving 4 days a week.
