Kiwozzie, Let it be one of the joys of our old age. The colored films available now are so magnificent and die in great part to Jacque.

Jan, He was an absolutely amazing man. Both he and Gagnan developed the SCUBA we now use today. The Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus completely changed how we veiw life in our seas and oceans. His boat was called Calypso. John Denver wrote a lovely song about Calypso.

There's a legend around Lake Tahoe, CA that he took a sub & explored the depths of that beautiful lake.
After he surfaced & asked what he found, supposedly he claimed that the 'world isn't ready to know what I saw.'
