The summer of 1969, early August, on my way back to Bragg after graduation from scuba school in KW.
I stopped in Orlando at the shop and order a Model 16 Diver. I think it costs me $58.00 USD?
I was pre-notified I was shipping to Nam in Dec and the wait was 3 months, so I asked if they could send it to my parents. They ended up shipping it before I left.
Unfortunately, three months after my return, it was stolen, along with my 67 RS/SS 396 Camero
Replaced the 16 with a model 2.
My model 2 sits in the safe with the Camillus and Hackman butterfly that I carried.
