For those that don't know the name, he is the Kirby of Kirby Morgan. I discuss him quite a bit in this thread:

Bev Morgan, Diving Industry Pioneer

Bev Morgan's legendary humility has obscured his diverse contributions to diving Very few Scuba divers have heard of Bev Morgan. Most that have only think of commercial and military diving. Au contraire mon ami. His legacy is reflected in every aspect of Scuba diving. Recreational Scuba...

His book, Hard Hat Divers Wear Dresses, is a great read.

May be rest in peace.

Bev Morgan and Bob Kirby did so much for me over the past 50 years. I have a collection of images like this one of Bev who allowed me to use his pool to test Force fins. Bet they are both together now talking about so many adventures together. God Bless.

Susanne and I just returned from being with many friends to honor our friend Laddie Handleman. His family put on a cerebration of life at the Santa Barbara Maritime museum. They were so kind to fly Richard C. Williams in from the Big Island and cover his hotel cost. Rick and I reviewed our Mussel Company exhibit up stairs. We were the first to commercial harvest California mussels from the off shore oil platforms. Under the Matching Federal grant we canned many mussels to prove the viability of offshore Aquaculture. 1970's

I read all your posts Bob.
I had a pair of your Force Fins when they first came out in Australia [ when Megafauna roamed the Earth].
loaned them out and they were never returned, and he was never seen again, the shop I taught from part time gave them to me , the shop owner was not happy when they went missing.
That was a long time ago.
