It was quite a few years ago. Gladys and I sat in our living room, when then 18 or 19 year old Steven came home, grinning all over his fresh young face, both hands behind his back.
"Which do you want"? He asked with a sly grin.
Gladys said: "The Right", I said: "The Left"...
His hands shot forward and his right held a piece of parchment, which said:
" This is to certify that Steven Christian Reitter, on this day,
took his first sky dive from a height of xxx meters"
This happened many years ago and I no longer remember the actual wording of this document.
I do remember, however, that I felt a cold shiver run down my back and that my heart skipped a beat.
