An underwater memorial will be placed off shore at Singer Island
(underwater), in remembrance of Andre B. Smith, John S. Claypool annd
Michael J. Elkins who perished together during a deep dive on January 12,
1998.  This memorial will be placed in such a way that sport divers may view
it while diving.

This monument will simply read:

Dedicated in memory of:  Andre B. Smith, John S. Claypool annd Michael J. Elkins
        Who perished together during a deep dive January 12, 1998
                They were loved and they will be missed
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------

The families and myself would like to thank all of our friends for the
hundreds of condolences we have received.  We have been so overcome by the
sheer number of calls from friends that we simply were not able to respond
to them all initially.  Again, we thank you for your prayers and support.

Sincerely yours,

Dick McNatt
