So George is worried that Jonathan's terrible mistake and death "made (him) look
like an asshole". That's really a sad comment.

This shouldn't reflect on him or the WKPP. Jonathan was not participating in a
WKPP event at the time of his death.

He clearly violated DIR standards and died as a result of breathing 100% helium
from what he thought was an O2 deco cylinder.

Others should KNOW this so that his mistake will not be repeated.

1) Do not put helium in bottles indiscriminately.
2) Do not use bottles that are not marked properly.
3) Analyze everything (even oxygen).
4) Do not rush to resume diving following a serious illness.
5) Do not rush to do ANY dive. Take your time; be methodical.

George can call me any name he prefers, but he cannot change the cause and
outcome of this tragic accident. I do know that Jonathan would have wanted the
truth to be known.

Chuck
