Jackie Fishman went tandem skydiving at 60 years old.Courtesy of West Point SkydivingI've always been curious about skydiving but had never given it a try.Recently, as part of a fundraiser, I decided to give it a shot.I was excited and nervous to do it, and it was exhilirating, but I won't do it again.I knew some skydivers when I went to college in Buffalo, New York, in the 1970s, and I thought their exploits were fascinating, but I didn't try it then.Fast-forward to 60 years old, and the opportunity to satisfy my long-held interest presented itself as part of a fundraiser for a Jewish cause.
