Subject: Re: Scuba World Interview with George Irvine
Andrew, I did not have time to do an interview with them or any other
magazines, as I was conducting gear-rigging sessions and then had to get
to Scotland. They must have constructed it from the presentation, and
thrown in a picture of somebody else. 

I am not into talking about anything but dive safety, and nobody wants
to hear it, so I do not have time for the rest. Mike Weisenbaker is our
publicist for all Project items, not me. This Project is so big now that
I do not even know what all we do. I hear we just explored some new cave
a couple of days ago, and I could not even tell you where it is. Brent
told me about it, and he has not even seen it. 

I only handle my end of the deal.
