Excellent news. Is the Reunion Dinner planning on being kid friendly? I will have my wife and 3 year old with me, and if I can't bring him she will be off watching him. Would I need to buy a separate dinner for him or just feed him from ours?

Do you know if they are planning on a jump as part of the Engineer Demonstration? I want to get my little man out to a DZ to watch a jump but trying to find a schedule that far out to plan around one has been unsuccessful.

Guidance for kids at dinner is, they are welcome for the beginning portion of the evening through dinner. After dinner when the drinks start flowing is at your discretion.... Feeding him from your plate is fine.

Yes, as of now there will be a jump on saturday.

As with everything else I'm sure you gentlemen experienced if your careers, this is constantly changing/improving so I will post the latest updates as I get them.

Thanks
