The author just
mailed me some free copies of the magazine. I thought she did quite
thorough research and covered a lot of ground in two pages, and the tone
was definitely positive towards PSUBS. The magazine has a circulation of
650,000 so this gets the word on PSUBS out to quite a bunch of people.
There is one minor bit,
however, that took me by surprise. In the article, a
gentleman described as being a former business associate of mine goes
into raptures about his adventures diving in the sub. Well, the extent
of being "business associates" is that we once owned rental
properties in the same building. But as for his underwater adventures, I'm
afraid he only sat in the sub on the surface! Anyway, he only said
nice things so no harm done. I wish authors would allow the people quoted
to proof-read their stories.
Jon, d'you want me to
scan and send the article?

latest (May 2008) issue of BoatU.S. magazine, published by the Boat Owners
Association of the Unites States, regarding "Versatile Submersibles," in which
PSUBS is prominent. It is authored by Jill Culora.
