Fritz, joining us in person, postponed Jennifer Pence’s interview with Mark Lucchesi due to time constraints this week.

Our speaker was Pat Moorehead, sky diver extraordinaire. He regaled us with stories of his skydiving adventures—80 jumps for his 80th birthday and 9 jumps on his 90th birthday in November 2021. He was an inspiration.
