to her and said with a grin, “Tell David he's got his hot tub!” I
was delighted to hear that Packard had seen the value to the aquar-
ium of taking care of our invaluable volunteers. The hot tub is
used frequently by the volunteer divers and has been the site of a
number of post-dive pizza parties.
