Capt. JT, I am not a cardiologist, but there are pictures of Capt Janet from 20 years ago that one might think were taken a month ago. So you cannot use her as an example of one who is ignoring the call of Mother Time. It is often said among the cavers that JJ is not a subject for insults because of his personality and attitude < and rightly so> and I think Janet should be in a similar category. I think if you had the opportunity to meet her you would understand better. I can understand your general motivation and i am also of the opinion that one needs fitness to dive generally and even more so for the more advanced stuff but I cannot agree with attacks on this particular person. I look forward to meeting you on Thursday; have a good week. Al Marvelli Capt JT wrote: > Hey Guys > If you are thinking my post is an attack on the Wahoo, Capt Janet, or its > divers. Your wrong.
