Question

Rodney
I graduated in DEC of 86 from Coastal too and did not peruse a diving career due to the fact that I was smushed in the mud while repairing the underside tug boat (the barge pushing type) that my dad owned.  That terrified the crap out of me so I enjoy sport diving.  I own Total Crane Services, in Southeast Texas now.
I was wandering if Capt Alfred was still alive?

Answer
Hello Rodney, I really don't know if Capt. Mikalowski is still living. I know that the College has been closed for quite some time, but as to whether the Capt. is still living, or has passed on i am not sure. I suppose you might try to get access to a California white-pages (phone book)and check to see if his name is still listed. From time to time i have wondered how he is doing, but that's about it. I live 6 months of the year in Canada,and the other 6 months in Belize (winter time) where i have my boat and Condo. If you happen to find out, let me know, as i would be interested in knowing his status. Take care, and thanks for writing.
