It's a bird; it's a plane...

The Merricks' "deplaning" 

... it's Ben Merrick! While he was very excited to return back on campus, Ben had an exciting thrill that many would shy away from. What did Ben do before returning? Skydiving with his mom of course. YES, Ben and his mom Susan celebrated the end of the summer and the start of his sophomore year with something they have both wanted to do… a dive into the wide blue yonder. 

On taking a leap from the plane and diving into the sky, Susan said, “There is only one thing that can top jumping out of an airplane with my son....St Ed’s Mom’s Weekend 2019!” while Ben added, “Skydiving with my mom was a great way to end the summer. Maybe next time I’ll get Father Ralph to join me!”


The brave jumpers on the ground...

...and in the sky
