…another anecdote just to pass along. My father, intrigued by SCUBA divers in Islamorada, FL Keys in ‘54 was asked if he would like to try it. He said “Yes” and spent 20+ minutes checking out the coral and fish in a lagoon with other divers….never got certified, encouraged me to follow my dreams and take lessons…so I did. It led to an unforgettable life of adventure and Fun I would have never thought possible. Dad always enjoyed hearing about my trips, volunterr work with the Yorktown Shipwreck project, Divemaster training and Florida Springs trips. At age 78, still working as a pharmacist in Florida, he took PADI SCUBA open water instructions. For the next 4 years as the rheumatoid arthritis allowed he went diving when he was able and i had my Dad as a dive buddy to go to Ginnie Springs, Troy Springs, Crystal River on numerous occasions Over that time period until he was too crippled to be able to get in and out of the water even with me assisting him. He continued to live a quality life going everywhere he was able until he just plumb wore out and passed away at age 95. Active and ready for anything up until 10 days from the end.
