G'Day, Mate!  Somebody else once told me that they'd never met anyone who
could wring all of the sentiment out of a song in quite the way that I
could!  (I must learn the second verse of, "When I was keeper of the
Eddystone Light" one of these days!)  :-))))

It was a great pleasure to meet and dive with you as well after so many
years - and to see that you survived the experience despite the
assassination attempts!  (We never did catch that bugger, did we?)  :-)

Like Crusty, I also appreciated the IASIA Instructor cross-over programme
that you ran.  (If I'd have known that it was going to be that detailed, I'd
have poked my face into a diving manual before going on the trip.)  :-)

That's what I thought - but I wanted to hear somebody else say it first
given that water always reduces the size of everything that I manage to see!
