Beware........... A thief resides in fort white

[Danseur]

That's very kind of you Stairman. You are right, I am not too fond of all of this stuff, but also understand people's "need to know." I had a serious falling out with this individual many months ago and asked her to stay out of my life and off my property. That's all I really wish to share. It's all very sad and disappointing. On the other hand, she was helpful in some of my film productions and will receive credit for her efforts. Light and dark in the same person.
Squirrel Girl is right, our community gets its share of the good, bad, odd and criminal much like the rest of society. I've moved on from my bad experience and chalked it up as a lesson learned about humanity. I prefer to concentrate on the amazing folks that I see at dive sites every day. We are fortunate to have such an incredible pool of people with talents, passion and love for this sport.

Very Classy Jill! I'm sure this surprises no one.

Your right. I do know Tony Chaney and he is one of the most stand up guys on the planet .

Thanks Garth and the same to you. This does really sucks!

Anybody remember Wayne Marshall? How 'bout Rat?

Probably not many will remember Wayne. Ditto for Neil Broome (sp?), or the guy that owned Dive Outpost and faked his own death.

I doubt people will post anything on the third - scared of libel and all that. Something having to do with statutory rape, an upcoming prison term, and going to Panama City for a dive charter and never returning to the boat...

I knew the guy when he ran Spring Systems. Get Bill Rennaker to tell you the whole story some time. It's a fairly twisted tale...

You brought up some blasts from the past. If the National Enquirer could publish all the stories from "cave country",it would be regarded as too imaginable. What amazes me is some stories that have completely evaded the forums,and I hear them brought up over a beer once and awhile-one may not have a statute of limitations and will only come to surface when all parties are gone.

I remember the guy in question that owned Dive Outpost. I wont mention his name but remember back in the mid 80's the main lobby was a restaraunt [sp?]. His brother was Leonard and made a mean Bionic Leonard Burger. He seemed like a nice guy to me.

Anyone please feel free to correct my remembrance of what happened. But it was back in the '90s that Wayne Marshall was secy-treasurer of the CDS. He embezzled about $25K from the CDS, was convicted, and went to jail. I don't want to get any facts wrong or smear the guy. But I believe that's the way it went down. The CDS has instituted some stipulations to avoid that happening again. They're kind of a pain (from my outsider view), but I guess you've got to prevent such a thing from happening again.
