Key West SCUBA School

Spent a very pleasant 2 hrs last night on the phone with KW9598 talking about the school. Lots of old memories.

It seems that I have the dubious distinction of being the oldest student still treading water. That's qualified as the oldest of the 6K or so SF on FB.

Do we have any OLD goats here that went thru scuba in the 60t's??

I'm not an all-caps old goat but nonetheless we're glad you're still here treadin' water. "The 60's" sometimes seems like yesterday, and then sometimes like the Pleistocene age. But I bet you have some stories.

I was born in the 60s and went to Scuba school WAY later than that.

Keep treading water and thanks for leading the way for us youngsters.
