His intent was to find the word *whitewater* on the UL approval label on the back panel of the lifejackets. He was very specific and very matter of fact. There was no misunderstanding. He said if it was January, 2010, we would not be putting on. Of the 12 lifejackets and paddlers there that day, none of ours had that on the UL approval label. I have seen only one since then that had *whitewater* in the label. Cheers, Rob G -----Original Message----- From: Steve Cramer <cramersec_at_charter.net> Jackie Myers wrote: > That sounds nutty.
