I forgot to mention that I am the illegitimate son of JS Haldane and that I
taught Simon Mitchell all he knows. Except about sheep (winces) sorry
Simon.
Both Gary Gentile and Sheck Exley, prior to his demise, frequently use me as a
sounding board for their diving ideas. Had Sheck followed my
instructions properly he would no doubt still be with us. Mary Ellen was
most grateful for my "input" during the difficult time after his
death. It is generally accepted that Jarrod Jablonski used her
descriptions of me when developing the concept of "donating the long
hose".
I inspired Lamar Hines to start Dive Rite and Dick Long is in fact named after
me. Jim Church was cloned from samples taken from me by the USN during
my testing of their Mk 16 rebreather (my design) and David Doubilet has a
stupid name. But he takes good photos.
Serves you right for reading this crap.
