Ljax

OK, in so many ways completely the wrong forum but there seems to be quite a few of the fishnet castouts floating around here

Has anyone spoken to Larry of late? If so how's he going? My best regards to him, I still find him one of the most influential characters ever to have blessed this hobby.

TIA

Andy,

In the period that I was at Fishnet (6 or is it 7 years ago) I saw often posts by Larry Jackson. I was glad to see that he was to give a lecture at the previous IMAC (IIRC).

If I'm correct then the health of his wife was for a period not so good.

Habib,

IIRC Laura was her name and she had a brain tumour. Last I heard she was recovering as best as could be expected but it's been several years now since I last heard of them.

As far as I could gather the old boy spent his life diving in exotic locations ... me , jealous ... absolutely!

I think Greg Hiller recently went diving in the South Pacific with Larry and some others.

Probably a really stupid question and one I should google to get the answer but how long a trip are the Solomons from Texas (assuming ljax is still living in St. Antonio iirc ... saint something-or-other anyway )?.

I guess it's because I fly so much (to Europe) but the thought of a 12 hour + flight nowadays fills me with dread and I'm too mean (and lacking in money) to fly business which at least makes it civilised. Thankfully all my flying meant I got to go to the Seychelles for free this year

Oh well, at least the Red Sea is only 5 hours from me and I'm going in a month's time Life's a beach (well , a liveaboard actually )

From where outside of Europe do you fly that much?
