Chris,

Thanks you for enlightening us with this story of a truly amazing guy.

Matt,

My sister is a special education teacher and works with children with variety of disabilities. I have forwarded this story to her and she has said that the dedication and desire you demonstrate to succeed at your dream will truly be an inspiration to the children in her classroom. You rock. Never let go of your dream.

Steve

Hey Great Orca, thanks for the encouraging words. That was very thoughtful of you to want to put up that post also! I love getting to know you divers, it is just awesome! You all make me feel like "one of the gang"! When I do my dive, I am going to have my nurse sign my autographs for me! I am getting used to the attention some now, I had a photograher out here the other day for my newspaper article. He took around 100 photos. It was actually fun after a while. I will be posting my newspaper article on here for everyone to see. It will be out this week. I am glad to be an inspiration to some. Take care, have a wonderful day. Safe diving. From Matt

P.S. I love Orcas too. :butnhome:

[quote=Matt the Wonder Boy]Hi Hank, thanks for the nice message! I sincerely hope you get your sister in the water soon, give her my best. I can't wait to get in there either. I miss being in the water, I used to love to swim. I will love feeling weightless under the water now when I do my dive! I was curious regarding your avatar- do you play the guitar or are you just a big fan of music? This dive board rocks!! You divers are frickin' awesome! Take care and have a great day. Safe diving from Matt.QUOTE]

My avatar? I was thinking of getting into a contest with ShakaZulu for the weirdest, non diving avatar. Just kidding. Actually it was the only picture I could make small enough to fit there...with my limited computer skills. But I do own that guitar...or one just like it, and play at least 5 nights a week in my house. I really like blues but will try anything from my son's freestyle motocross inspired "death rock", to Hawaiian slack key. Hank
