 Tragically last week, Skydive Spaceland lost a very dear
friend when Michael Scott Bell, 35, passed away in a skydiving accident. Some of you might know Scott as
he greeted you with a smile as you boarded the aircraft before your
jump. Some might remember Scott as the person who helped keep the
hangar spotless and the property well groomed, and who ran, not walked, to
take care of his responsibilities. No matter how you
remember Scott, we will all remember him as a friend and brother who
loved each of us as he did life itself.
Please join us this weekend for
a benefit event to remember his life.
SCOTT BELL BENEFIT:
A day for remembering one we've lost
and celebrating the life
he lived.
