Just wanted to share a small update!

:sprite10: Hi everyone, Just wanted to tell you the interview on TV went well. It was awesome; there Was 3 little mistakes; they said I hoped to dive in September and what I had said was, maybe October or early spring, they called my dad Charlie Johnston instead of Charlie Dollens and they said I have engineers in Rhode Island working on this, and there are a few that are interested, but they won’t be involved until I get enough funds. Oh well it happens. It sounds like my friend will be trying to send a copy of the interview to Oprah. When I get my copy of it I will be putting it on my website. Next Friday I'm going in the pool again, I can't wait. One of my respiratory friends who also is a big-time diver, him and his friend are going to be taking a vent like mine underwater and trying to make it work. They have some good ideas. It’s very impressive what their thinking about doing. If they pull it off it will be a new life support system with good safety systems that has a back-up built right into it. This is getting exciting. I’ll keep you all posted on how it all turns out.

Take Care all and safe diving-Matt :42:

Thanks for the update! I think there must be some required minimum number of factual errors in any TV report.

I'd been wondering how things were going. Best of luck!

Hi mstevens,
