Mike Nelson, I thought for sure Mike Nelson called up my Mother(teacher at our school) and made my two brothers and I sit infont of the television each week and watch each episode, and then be quized on what we just saw.
I was and still very dislexic, and was a visual learner. My younger brother and I were so motivated to imitate, we strapped our trucks to our backs and made scuba maskes out of the bottoms of the oatmeal boxes.
Once we came of age and through the Boy Scouts Of America, we made it our mission to become certified divers, and we too would become Mike Nelson certified adventurers. We didn't know or were unaware of actors playing this real life secnario each week.
We lived in land locked Colorado, and between Mike Nelson and later Sandy and his Flipper, became well educated on all things Marine. I remember the year our family vacationed in California, our entire trip was themed around "Sea Hunt". Marine Land Of The Pacific was bigger to teen age boys and things moved faster.
Fade to black and now adults with kids of our own, Val and I were blessed with healthy kids and we remember renting the vhs videos and having family knight and watching three episodes at a time and discussing things with our kids.
Thank you ZIV, and all your moving parts.
Fan for Life
