    So I was just thinking about how I didn't hear about any Yosemite protest jump happening on 6/9 (uhuck). Did that ever happen? What was the outcome? If not it seems like they took money from several people under false pretenses. Can somone please post the names of the people behind uhuck so the BASE community will know who can't be trusted.

    the uhuck.com website lists these names as organizers: John Garrett and Lee Sammartino. Are they jumpers? Who else is involved?

    Don't know John, but I do know Lee. He is a jumper and a damn good guy. If I recall, they agreed in some manner not to make it about that day or about Frank, to respect Frank's mother's wishes.
    As for any money... Did you donate? Are you owed? Have you reached out to Lee or are you merely speculating that he's vacationing on the hard-donated funds of a few jumpers?
    I think he posted his contact info somewhere, but if you need it, send me a PM and I'll reply with his info.

    Collin you are correct; I am speculating, and I did not donate any money. I do not need to be directly affected to be outraged by lies and deception. Lee posted on BJ that he (uhuck) was taking in a lot of money for their "cause". I do not know Lee or John, and I have not tried to contact them. The only contact info I have found for them is through their BJ accounts which have not been logged into for at least four months, Myspace which has not been logged into for five months. Email though the uhuck.com website which appears to not have been updated this year, or though Lee's gravity seekers website which no longer exists. If they have legitimately changed their plans then it is their responsibility to at least notify the public through the same channels that they used to raise the money. To passively stand by is to allow an injustice to happen.
