Subject: On The Subject of Dr. Kendall's Passing
Guys, let's drop the subject of Dr. Kendall. I guarantee you that Bill
Stone is as devastated by this as I was the day Parker died at Indian.
Both are gone, and there is nothing that will change that - no amount of
second guessing, no amount of recrimination. It has , can , and will
happen to us.

  Dr. Kendall is all over the news. He is even listed as deceased on my
Bloomberg terminal as of this morning. He has many friends and family.
He was just looking for what we all are looking for. At least the man
was 72 and had lived an amazing life, right up to the end, diving in our
favorite place.

  I understand the responsibility that Stone feels here. I wrote to him
and told him so, and I likened it to letting my kids drive the car - it
has to be done, and we agonize over it. He had to let these guys dive,
just like I have to let you guys dive.

  I have expressed our sypathies to Bill Stone, let's move on.
