NPR reports-
From Maine, the Kennebec Journal updates us on the plan for former president George H. W. Bush to celebrate his 85th birthday with a parachute jump. According to the Journal, he's due to jump (tethered to a member of the U.S. Army "Golden Knights" parachute team), at 1 p.m. ET -- and it will take about seven minutes for them to come down from 13,000 feet.
They're due to land, the Journal says, in "the churchyard of St. Ann's Episcopal chapel in Kennebunkport."
Here's the video-
