west Coast Work
Not much going on on the West Coast. The two largest companies, Global Diving and Salvage and Northwest Underwater Construction are working but they have all their people. Both are also doing some cleanup from the BP fiasco. and that's about it. If you want some company names around the country I can fire them off to you. It would be non-sat. Let me know.

- Massey is still around as far as I know. He emailed me a couple months ago. He recovered from the head injury and is back doing NDT for some small outfit in Everett I believe. Don't hear from him too often. Do you ever hear from Mel? I get emails from Babs and Jimmy from time to time. Say hi to Boobs for me or better yet let him read this.

Phone number is still the same, I lost yours as usual, have tried to contact you at the school there but it seems like the message never gets passed on and I tried emailing you with the same result. But hey, it's damn good to be in contact again, I got lots to tell you!
