    Default congrats to jill and bill

    just got my copy of the new cave book, brought it to work today, needless to say i didnt get much done! (i hope my boss doesnt cruise this forum!) i want to thank bill for including his history of F.I.T. in jensen beach. (p34) What a trip down memory lane for me. i went there in 1979 and had charley valance for a instructor too. So bill, where is charlie now? What about leon morrison? is leon springs and morrison springs named after him? what about dick mc coy? So i cant say enough to jill and bill and all the contributors to this wonderful work. thanks lance

    Default Book

    First let me thank Bill and Jill as well as the other authors who contributed. I got my copy a few days after I ordered it. What a great book
    Second, WOW I was a 1978 graduate of FIT Jensen Beach. I was in the Environmental/Aquaculture program I remember Charlie well,also Joe Casper, Capt Perminter and others. Belive it or not I still have the 1978 edition of Canned Leviathan III. Lots of great pictures and memories. I lived in JB for 3 years, 76-78 Lots of great times and shore diving off Hutchinson Island. Thanks for the post Lance, brought back some great memories.
