| Donie Ruza gets a kiss from her skydiving instructor and tandem jump partner Mike Hoogsteden after completing a jump Thursday at Skydive City in Zephyrhills to commemorate her 80th birthday. Ruza lost her upper plate of dentures shortly after exiting the plane. "So I go without them," an unfazed Ruza told friends after the jump, "big damn deal."
