Hello from Wisconsin, from an Illinois Native

[Kim Holland]

Hi there!

My name is Kim and I'm very excited to be earning my open water certification up here in Wisconsin. I'm planning on taking a course through the University of Montana in Mexico for reef system research this upcoming January - if any of you have ideas for research I'd love to hear them!
I'm originally from a city outside of Chicago but now I'm in Wisconsin studying animal behavior, natural resource management, photography, and sociology of sustainability. I think that's about it, I cannot wait to join the diving community!

Kim,

Your enthusiasm is contagious ! As contagious as the most deadly organism...
I seldom read the new diver post and only a few times responded - but yours greeted me with unbridled enthusiasm.

It will be a new adventure for you- an entire new world will suddenly and with out warning open up for you.

Maintain that excitement and enthusiasm- never loose it !

May I ask where are you researching in Mexico ? I also suspect it will also be an eye opener and an adventure that you will long remember

If I can ever be of assistance just PM me

Sam Miller, 111

Good Lord! What do they call you up there now that you’re behind the Cheddar Curtain? You’re not a FIB anymore! I’ve been in exile in IL since 1996 for work. I’m a Michigan native!

Congratulations on diving (UWC?) and on escaping the tax compound!!
