Hello, Charlie and Dude, it has been a long time. I just discovered the cDiver site while looking for contact info for John Roat. When l saw your names l wanted to say hello, and say l am glad to have found this site. Dude, we have met several times years ago at Taylor, as l recall. I don't know if you are aware Tom Grove has died. He passed away this past April 23rd. at the Baptist Hospital Hospice Unit in Jackson, MS. He died of complications associated with kidney and liver failure. Tom and l were best of friends for close to 44 years. I thought you would like to know.
On other matters, Charlie, and Dude, What are you up these days?

Safety Director for Legacy Offshore in Morgan City is my latest adventure, Dan. I try through industry groups to improve diving safety, too. (Divers Association, GOM Dive Safety Work Group)

Hope life is treating you well!

I am still learning about this site, but wanted to communicate with you all again to respond and answer your questions.
After twenty years offshore and in the office, l retired from the oilfield diving business in 1992. My Swan Song was providing two Mini Saturation/Bounce Diving Units to a Mexican diving contractor.
After finishing my degrees, taught history at the University of Colorado at Denver. Finally, after a trip here and there, my wife, Dorothy and l settled back in Texas, East Texas. I have six pet dogs and a North American Timber Wolf, a she-wolf actually. Between my pets, gardening, and raising chickens l keep busy, but l do have a couple of other interests too. So l am glad to be here and just enjoying being alive.
