Photograph was edited for publication purposes Photograph article dated November 7, 1960 partially reads, "When Joseph R. Welsh makes a scene, he makes like Batman. Like the other day. Dressed in black shirt, black trousers, boots and trailing smoke and a billowing parachute, Welsh swooped down on Newhall. When the dust had cleared, he explained: "I like jumping, I don't get enough... I jump just about every day I can." So far, Welsh, 25107 DeWolf Rd., Newhall, has jumped 67 times and planned another this week before returning to duty with the Army."
