Excellent video! No bananas, no lemons, just fins!
 
Dr. Harvey Barnett took time to test Force fins at the start. I appreciate it when friends like Harvey send videotapes.

Susanne and I became close friends with Commander Clark Presswood. Nicknamed " Clark the Shark". The stories he told us will always remain in our hearts. Clark helped us get into the Navy Seal programs.

Yesterday Susanne and I got the sad news our good friend Mike Curry passed on. The last time we were together was at Mike's and Judy's home in Uruguay. Here's a picture of us together at Trump Towers to drive some friends crazy. He had a dry sense of humor. Mike helped launch Force Fin over the Million dollar mark with Performance Divers. Mail Order allowed us to survive without the dealerships which were controlled by the majors. With a money back we sold thousands of Force fins. Seems we are losing our closest friends lately. Guess I am next in line and making sure to enjoy each breath. God Bless our Mike who is now in Heaven.
