Has anyone thought about contacting Mr. singer-man, or his publicist and asking him to try and appear with a PFD on when being photographed. As I recall, John-John had the same PFD-aversion. Someone must be selling these people their gear, giving them lessons, seeing them at the launch. In the end, it's really up to them. Although I can imagine that for a magazine shoot the photographer or art director might ask someone to take off that bulky lifevest, we need to see your pecs. Tell them the horror stories and try and talk some sense into them ("so, how far can you swim?"). -Patrick At 10:15 PM -0800 3/13/01, Melissa Reese wrote: >[SNIP] > >While I would agree with you that it would be nice if "very >visible" people would set, what might be in our opinions, a good >example, it's your third sentence that is really at the heart of the >matter.
