Carroll Gardens resident to celebrate her 80th birthday with parachute jump
Earlier this year, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle featured an article about Carroll Gardens grandmother Carolyn Meiselbach, who parachuted from a plane 13,500 feet off the ground in upstate Gardiner, N.Y.
On Oct. 26, to celebrate her 80th birthday, Meiselbach will tandem-jump again from the same location near New Paltz. This time, she will be part of a group of about 15 “Ethical Eagles” representing the Brooklyn Society for Ethical Culture.
They are using the event to publicize the mission of the American Ethical Society (the parent group of the Brooklyn Society for Ethical Culture, which describes Ethical Culture as a humanist educational group that has “faith in the capacity and responsibility of human beings to act in their personal relationships and in the larger community to help create a better world.”
