RiverWoods Blog: Free Fall
RiverWoods Resident Skydiving into Retirement
Boulders resident Claire McQuade recently crossed off one of the more adventurous items off her bucket list - skydiving.
Claire was joined earlier this summer by her friend, Rose Marie Levark, her daughter, Lee-Ann Gansalues and her grandchildren Annie and Jack Gansalues in Lebanon, ME for the adventure.
Claire, who won’t go on roller coasters or even Ferris wheels, was quiet on the plane ride up. Yet when her instructor stood at the open door of the plane, thousands of feet off the ground, and yelled “Go!”, she jumped.
For the next two minutes Claire experienced freefall at 150 miles per hour. Her description of these two minutes: “I was absolutely terrified.”
Fortunately, once the chute opened, Claire’s feelings changed. She felt “pure pleasure” as she floated slowly down to the ground.
Choose a life that gives you more time to enjoy what you love, new friends who share your interests and peace of mind for your future.
