Sort of like what Barnett is doing with this still unidentified "NOAA" 
diver? But I suspect that the "NOAA" divers name is now known all over 
Florida by now. And certainly in our area, everybody knew exactly what 
happened to Becky. 

Hell, we even had a special open VBTech meeting, Becky and her mother 
attended along with divers from as far away as Pennsylvania. Anybody 
was free to question Becky about the incident and there were a lot of 
questions.

We just did not want to put Becky's name on the lists at the time 
because we all love Becky and did not want to expose her to some of 
the freaks and geeks who infest  techdiver and other lists (you know 
who they are, George). Becky and her mother were just awesome people 
to do this. And the reason they did it, and the reason JT asked them 
to do it , was for the common good of all divers. Wow, what a breath 
of fresh air.

It was a good meeting. All the "morbidly curious" had a bunch of 
question on what it feels like to have a tox coming on and Becky told 
us exactly was it was like in her case. 

We made an impression on several newer (and older) tech divers. The 
people who attended that meeting WILL be doing air breaks and WILL be 
switching to back gas the second they start feeling the symptoms.

You guys give JT all the shit you want, he has done more good to 
promote safety among techdivers on the east coast than any 10 of you 
high-faulting ?superdivers? out there. Like George,  JT does more than 
?just dive? and I?m tired of hearing that excuse from certain pussys 
out there.
