    Matt Johnston story just Aired..Link to Video Included

    I know this isn't the forum for this, but as I was a part of this I wanted my friends to know that Matt's scuba diving dream story aired this morning on the Today show.

    If you didn't see it, I can say it was very touching. Great story about a man who doesn't say no and goes after a dream. I love you Matt.

    I have it recorded on DVD that we'll have a the shop. Now if I can figure out how to get it on the web, I'll do that as well.

    Here's the link to the show

    Good Diving,

    Can someone post it on Youtube or something with a link?

    Matt – you are truly amazing. I am also very impressed by your father. What a courageous man to allow you to fulfill your dreams. I hope that if I ever am faced with the challenges he has, I will respond similarly.

    Just saw it myself (West Coast) and thought it was a very nice piece. I should tell a paralegic friend of mine who is interested in diving to watch it.
    Dr. Bill: I once had a 6-pack but now I have a full keg... well, maybe just a pony!
    Dr. Bill: Not THAT kind of doctor... but I'll take a look at it anyway!

    What an awesome story. Was anybody here involved?

    I'm glad his dream came true. I'm getting a little teary-eyed myself.
