    Hey Missy, been a lot of years. Just ran across this video, and I gotta say, you look exactly how I remember your mom. I wish you well always. I miss you, Matthew, your mom and especially your dad. Above all, he was a true friend. One of few people I trusted without a doubt. He will never be forgotten.

    Amazing talk.
    Skydiving has always been a back burner idea.

    I read and loved your book about your Dad's drug smuggling life, I did not know your Dad in his early days, I did not come into the sport until the '90s but was glad to meet and jump with your Dad after he got out. Enjoyed your Ted talk.
