Tom, I wish I could tell you her name and number. Both John and Lou's wife's look allot younger than the both of them. However, I don't think that she was with them.
Actually, I was trying to get a shot of her because she is kinda cute, but John stepped into the shot. LOL
Maybe we will run into her at Rays next lecture.

That National Geographic has another popular story in that issue about "Americans in Vietnam." indeed it is
collectible. I have my oral history session with the Real Eight member tomorrow so this is the last
call for questions for him. I have some good ones from others here already. My plan is to
record him and play it on my upcoming internet radio show. < Last call for questions.

Also in other news, I met a local Merrit Islander who wants to start a treasure hunters
club. Sounds like fun I told him I would help out. If anybody is interested and lives
in the locale let me know and I will put you in touch with him.

That evening of the seminar had some irony as some treasure was stolen at the event. A library
owned book of the National Geographic January issue of 1965 with the article of Kip Wagner's
treasure was removed. I can't believe somebody would steal a book from the library after they
were kind enough to lend it for this seminar.

Indeed Bob Marx was correct with his quote, "with treasure there is trouble and with a lot
of treasure their is a lot of trouble."

That 1965 book is probably worth about $50. It is becoming scarce. I have copies of it. The maps by archaeologist Carl Clausen with the locations of each artifact found and dispersal patterns are probably sought after by some treasure hunters. Sorry to hear someone lifted it. They could have just copied it from the library.

Maybe you could acknowledge the people who have helped you already via private email? Typical email etiquette suggests that one should respond with a "thanks" or "emailed received."

I just bought a copy of the 1965 January Issue of National Geographic on eBay for $10. I wanted to see what the fuss was about. Would be interesting as well to see some of the older info gathered on the wrecks. Can't wait!

I guess its only worth about $20. Here is a list of other National Geographic Shipwreck issues.
