Two New England pioneers pass away: John Baldi & Frank Sanger

[Art Challacombe]

I just purchased a DA Aquamaster (207403) from John’s collection on eBay and will receive it in the mail today. I will be rebuilding it and hope to have it dive ready by this weekend. I didn’t know John, but I’m familiar with his many contributions to the diving community. I will use the regulator in remembrance of him.

Art I hope you are able to get that reg back in the water. Although I never met John either, I'm sure he would be thrilled that some of the items from his collection are back in use. When I picked up this collection for my dive club, his widow did say that he'd be thrilled if some of the equipment went back into service. I still have a bunch more of John's collection if you're looking for anything else.
