In Reply to: Hey MHK, thanks for facilitating the DIR demo and the great day of divin posted by Jusfer on January 24, 2000 at 13:22:22:
I too must commend MHK and Troy on this effort, I
further point out the participation of George, JJ,
Ted and Dan for keeping everyone well interested
for over two hours the night before the Farnsworth
Trip. They were first rate and totally
informative. There was added benefit in meeting
those on various lists face to face for the first
time, such as Matthew and Steven.
Conversly, I too feel a bit saddned that Dale
didn't show up. MHK and I both counted 55 persons
on the rear deck of the GE. That's 55 more people
who now know what DIR is about and 55 more who
have seen the Halcyon products first hand... and
a few who even got to experience the product line
in the water. This was an information event for
Southern California diver. There is no question
from the feedback I have received that the
experience was a positive one from both sides.
I also feel very sad that I was not able to attend
the Farnsworth Trip as I had originally planned.
Those of you whom I talked to that night before
understood I was having back problems from performing
other that diving activities. Doc says I have two
strained muscles in my back and I have to stay out
of the water for two more weeks. That's no problem
since the GE is going in for CG hull inspection
and maintenance for the next two weeks.
I am sure I speak for Captain Tim when I say it was \
a pleasure to have all on board for the education
session the evening before, and the cool day of
diving experienced by all at Farnsworth the following
day.
Again, thanks to MHK and Tory the Hog-boy for making
this happen. And special thanks to Trey, Dan. Ted
and JJ for putting up with Chris' stoooopid questions.
