With a bit of sadness I said Good Bye to an old friend today. WK has been with me for many years. WKs diving pedigree started in 1989, has accompanied me on many dive trips, always served his intended function, and never once gave me concern. As he aged, there were many who said that his time had passed, and that it was time to retire. Instead, he increased his check-up schedule, and even started semi-annual exams, just to be safe. Even as my own neck and shoulders age and weaken, and as my many dings begin to take a toll, WK remained true and steadfast. But finally, on the way to the lab for his 5-year comprehensive exam, WK and I had one of those chats, and with a tear and a toast, we decided that ol WK had lived a full life and that it was time to retire.
What else can you say to a beautiful, clean, crack-free Walter Kidde who has served you well? Aloha amigo, and thanks for the memories!
