An 87-year-old World War II veteran has parachuted from a plane in an Ohio to support his ailing great-grandson.
Clarence Turner of Fairfield made the jump Saturday with an instructor. He says he wanted to generate attention for the plight of 10-month-old Julian Couch, who suffers from a lung disease that could require a transplant.
WLWT of Cincinnati reports that Julian is hospitalized in Columbus. A fundraiser is planned for June 2.
Turner also made a jump at age 85 to fulfill a goal to experience freefalling and landing as he did in the Army. He served from 1944-47, and his last jump was in Japan.
Turner says he also hopes to someday make a parachute jump at an older age than former President George H.W. Bush, who’s 88.

Aw, this was an incredibly nice post. Spending some time
and actual effort to make a very good article… but what
can I say… I put things off a whole lot and don’t manage to get anything done.
I pay a quick visit every day some sites and information sites to read articles, but this blog provides quality based writing.
