sorry for the format, but the info is here...I was too lazy to retype this off of freeattic. Enjoy, Trout >To: "John R. Rose" <rose@cs*.sc*.ed*>, "Cost effective home improvement" <freeattic@co*.ci*.uf*.ed*> >From: armantrout@wo*.at*.ne* (Jesse Armantrout) >Subject: Re: Good Job WKPP > >Some additional comments... > >Chris Warner went further in "A" on his second Wakulla gas dive than anybody from the '87 Wakulla project, and in poor viz. to boot. That has go to tell you something. > >Saturday impressed me the most. We all showed up at 8:00. Chris told us what he needed done sample wise (3 tubes filled from each of 4 different sites but there were only 4 tubes available). In 5 minutes we had a plan, within an hour the first team was headed in, and by about 2:00 we were done. Four back to back to back to back gas dives without a flaw...awesome. Support guys grabbed tubesfrom returning teams at 190, took 'em up, dumped 'em and sent another team to another site like clockwork. It looked easy. > >Nominee for FNG (Favorite New Guy): Scott Hunsucker. This guy was a blur, always running around working his ass off. And on his first meet and great, I loaded him down with 5 bottles and 2 scooters at 120 feet and he handled it like a veteran. I am sure there were others doing the same...he just happened to be the one I noticed. Please let us know who your FNG was. > >Biggest probelem of the weekend: Dawn's plan was delayed so Landon had to do support manager Friday...he is nowhere near as cute as Dawn. > >Indian: Man we have a lot of good divers on this team. Six support divers, ALL on their first dive at Indian went on a swim dive downstream with me pulling up the rear (proving I can swim, I just don't like it) and there was no sign anybody had been in ahead of me. Awesome technique all around. Landon lead scooter divers upstream and reported the same. Viz here was awesome and I think the new guys were impressed. This is what Tally power cave is about! > >All in all, a great weekend. It was great to see everybody again. Let's do it again real soon, >Trout > >At 01:33 PM 9/29/97 +0000, John R.
