hi jerry- i broke into diving with jake and joe around 1957/58. we were known as american diving and salvage co. made some dives with them. worked a few hitches with dick evans on mc/dermott barges. knew dick ransom very well. if i can post some pics you probably recognise me. worked at pat o'brien's in the french quarter and had contact with you at ivanhoe lounge on bourbon st. also met up at dick evans shop on a couple occasions. there were only 8 divers in the n.o./gulf at the time. buck frolich was the main river diver, jake, joe, you, me, miller of mobile, al. who worked on the mobile tunnel and a couple more i didn't know. great news to see you still active. sid
