[CINC] Fwd: whales!

[Kenneth A. Tatro]

Hi Folks,

Many years back, Bill Mayer and I were housemates here in Goleta.  His  
two sons, Steve and Paul we in school at Dos Pueblos High School at  
the time. Paul, whom this fwd is from, went on to do the commercial  
divers program at Santa Barbara City College and was immediately  
snapped up by Atlantis Submarines and off to a fantastic, still  
ongoing, global career in Subs. After several years with Atlantis,  
Paul Alan (yes, of Microsoft) hired him and two others on a short term  
temporary contract from Atlantis, to do some set ups of his (then) new  
ten person sub on his mega yacht the "Osprey." At the end of that, Mr.  
Alan hired (our) Paul, to be the pilot of his sub. Paul, now in his  
40's. is still Mr. Alan's sub pilot.  Yet he still keeps in touch with  
his many friends at Atlantis, swings by Goleta almost annually to  
visit his Mom who still lives here, and drops by to say a good hello  
to us as well. We keep in email contact in between visits.

So this is a fwd from him, from a friend of his still at Atlantis, and  
I am sure of real interest to all of you.
