RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] 2009 Convention - Vancouver

["Hugh Fulton" <hc.fulton@gmail.com>]

Phil,
Again, many thanks for a magnanimous gesture of the tour and the diving in
your subs.  
It was well worth the travel from New Zealand for the event. I would like to
also thank your guys. It was a very professionally run operation.
If not only for a personal safety issue but in the furtherance of the
industry in New Zealand I will be personally pushing for getting some of
your products into the New Zealand Apology of a Navy that we have! 

I will be looking forward to seeing some of your developments coming to
fruition in the future.
Hugh

Thank you Phil.

While I'm sure others will join in and comment as they come home and get 
back online, I think I speak for many who would like to thank you once 
again for the hospitality and graciousness of both yourself and your 
crew.  It was a rich and fulfilling week that inspired numerous people 
who never dived in a submersible, and also motivated a number of others 
to either finish existing projects or begin new ones.  I would also like 
to add that your crew on dive day (including the crane operator) were 
extremely professional, warm, and courteous to our group.  They 
tolerated our poking and prodding of the submersibles, as well as our 
hundreds of questions.  It was a long day for them with no break for 
lunch, yet they treated us like immediate family and worked doggedly to 
ensure everyone got a chance to go underwater.  We are indebted to 
Nuytco Research for giving us such opportunity.

It's important for our organization to recognize pioneers and the 
contributions they have made to submersible design and underwater 
technology which we can use for our own home-built projects.  Imagine 
how much more difficult our task would be if we didn't have the wisdom 
provided by the years of testing, perfecting designs, and practical 
operations by people such as yourself, Dr. Stachiw, and Capt. 
Kittredge.  We are both pleased and proud to have you in our Hall of 
Fame.  It is both well deserved and appropriate for you to be in it.

In summary, there were two primary comments I heard repeated throughout 
the weekend by many participants.  "This is the best convention ever!" 
and "This is going to be hard to top."  Since 99% of the convention 
revolved around Nuytco Research, we thank you, your staff, and your 
company for enriching us.

Jon
