A Comment from a Child Made my Day!

Geez, I hate to add the the head-swelling here, but, two weeks ago, on a Saturday morning, my wife and I arrived on Catalina for our first "independent" dives. (Our OW class went there previously...)

After giving our equipment to the baggage service and starting the walk, we passed three people standing on the wooden boardwalk area talking. I just happened to look directly at the face of the one man and said to myself, "Holy Sh....I think thats Dr. Bill!"

lol, my reaction was kinda funny, you'd think I just saw some movie star or something... its weird to recognize someone from just an avatar picture.

but did you say anything to him...if it was me i would have run up screaming his name and crash tackled him to the ground.... but then again, maybe thats just me

IWe motored down to Howland's Landing where Jean-Michel's Family Camp was in session.
The face on a young boy (11, 12?) brightened when he heard my name. He asked "are you THE Dr.Bill?" I asked what he meant, and he said he had one of Dr. Bill's DVD's and really loved watching it. He thought it was very funny. Believe me... THAT made my day!

Very cool. I've also met JMC~~ and hopefully one day I will meet you too.

had you seen a movie star you would have said, "Ohh crap, a movie star, the island has been found out!"
