Just saw this

I thought it had been longer than the OP said, then I saw the date of posting. Two of my teammates and I went on the recovery operation, they recovered while I stayed topside. I remember a lot of the folks and the dual investigations surrounding the entire episode. But most of all I remember the sense of honor, respect, and humility we all felt as we did our duty and brought his body to the surface and finally back. I was so saddened but at the same time focused on how I had to do my job. A lot of back story to Todd. All reflective of how he was never a quitter. I'm glad y'all took care of the gate name issue. I'd been gone so long I didn't know about it. RIP Todd.

Been there, done that, got the t-shirt, then got too fat to wear it.
Motorcycled to the Arctic Ocean North of Prudhoe Bay.
Said, "Been there, done that."
Turned around and drove straight to Key West, Southernmost Point in the US.
I didn't have any room for t-shirts on that little 13,500-mile journey.
