Beautiful article in the New York Times on Dale Longanecker who recently retired from the North Cascades Smokejumper Base in Winthrop, Washington. After 38 years as a Smokejumper and 896 jumps, Dale holds a jump record that may never be broken.

Congratulations to Dale, his wife Kristy and their daughter, Ashley. And another round of congratulations are due for Michael Noe seated next to Dale in the above picture for being named Dale’s successor as Loft Foreman at NCSB.
