Hank and Muriel Simbro

Hank (D-63) and Muriel (D-78) Simbro Henry “Hank” Simbro both began jumping in 1960. Hank was a pilot and aircraft owner; member of the third place men’s team in 1000 meter accuracy at the 1962 world meet in Orange, MA; a decorated World War II Marine Corps veteran who was wounded at Iwo Jima. He died in 2010. Muriel Simbro, known as skydiving’s first lady, was the first woman in the U.S. to earn a D license; she was the leader of the first full women’s team that the U.S. supported winning the 1962 World Parachuting Championships and the first U.S. woman to win a gold medal in a world meet. She received the Helms Athlete of the Year Award, a national award that recognized excellence in amateur athletics. She also appeared on the TV show “To Tell the Truth.”
