Legends

[lowviz]

How does one find the current comprehensive list of SB legends?

I've seen one so far yet on the list, perhaps it's still being developed. I'd love to see a place highlighting their posts whichever forum it's originally in.

Regards,
Cameron

You ready for the list? I'll type slow so you can keep up: @Sam Miller III and @drbill are the only two so far. There will be others, but we are in no rush to add them. How do you get added to the list? You don't.

In the future, an SB user will be added to the list if their Bio is added to the Avenue of Divers. How do their bios get added? We haven't figured that out yet. We will. It's a work in progress! Right now Akimbo and I are the arbiters of access. Bwahahahahahaha!

In the interim, we are hoping our users will post GREAT bios of their heroes into the History of Diving forum. Those that are truly exceptional will be moved over.

Once "in their own minds" is removed from "Legends" that pretty much leaves Sam & Dr. Bill. Forum closed.

Trace, there are a number of legends here on SB and we'll be including them in that forum. I would love to see bios on @Bob Evans @mdb @Jill Heinerth @Bill Main @Frazier Nivens and many, many more.

I'm only being facetious. I've known Frazier since Stuart Cove's, Dive Dive Dive, and time in Key Largo once his black hair turned gray. Jill Heinerth ... name sounds familiar.

Thanks for the clarification, I was wonderin'...

Well Stated Trace!
@The Chairman and @Akimbo can decide, but I have a special place in my heart for a 3rd entry @John C. Ratliff
Maybe it is because he is a USAF Rescue PJ, (just like my son) and has served our country with distinction. Maybe it is because he is an Oregonian. Maybe it is because he is a badass and true waterman innovator. Maybe because I find him kind of quirky and wish he was my dad or big brother
Regardless, just want to give a shout out to John.
John: I will be up in Portland in a couple weeks for 4th of July and my son will be there also. We would both love to meet you, if possible.

Do the research, and write, write, write that bio. What a great way to show someone what you think about them!

Yeah, that didn't escape me, but I took the opportunity to make a point. Who knows, you and I may be written about one day in the future! We've still got some history to make before we're ready for that.
