    I am very thankful to have done quite a few dives with Forrest over the years. He “took” me to my first trip to Rocky Horror and my only dive at Cathedral, we were last divers to dive there before it became a limited access site. So good to see him looking good and I hope to be able to catch up with him at Hart.

    Sure has stories, this is true. But isn't that why we dive (or in my case, used to)?
    Thanks TJ for sharing!
    I had the priviledge of him taking me on my first venture into Madison.

    Why yes that was me in shorts and a t-shirt oops, a drysuit @ the 700' marker

    Today is his birthday. He doesn't get on here anymore, but if you have his cell number, give him a call to tell him Happy Birthday. I happen to know he's not expecting anyone to remember it's his birthday.

    I did find a copy of Forrest's birth certificate:
