Christmas lunch for the leaders of salvage companies in the Dominican Republic

[Bobadilla]

Hello everybody,

Today The National Agency for Underwater Patrimony of the Dominican Republic organized very nice Christmas lunch for the leaders of salvage companies that have contract with the Dominican government. Some other persons, principally from Dominican state institutions and directly involved with this business, were kindly invited too. The food was excellent, the whole environment was extremelly friendly and everybody really enjoyed this meeting. I can say that all of us felt like members of one family and I think it should be like that everywhere in this business.

Among the participants were, for example, Francis Soto, Technical Director of ONPCS (National Agency for Underwater Patrimony), Arch. Wilfredo Feliz, General Director of ONPCS, Burt Webber Jr., Capt. Tracy Bowden, Arch. Pedro Borrell, ex-director of ONPCS and a legend and founder of underwater archaelogy in the Dominican Republic, Billy, representing Deep Blue Marine, Dr. Lubos Kordac (it's me...aka Bobadilla on TH Forum...) and Bobby Pritchett, President of ARS.

All the best,
Lobo (Bobadilla)

I agree 100%. if everyone was above board and honest, I see no reason for the all the ill will . the world does not revolve around 1 person (except christ maybe) . I'm glad to hear you are in such a great atmosphere, it really sounds amazing.

I get along nicely with dr. herdendorf, the state of ohio's underwater archaeologist, but then he makes it so easy. he loves history and so do I. considering the freedom I'm given and the finds I've been digging and identifying, I'm having a blast.

Hey Lubos:
Wish I'd been there myself! Maybe next year. Wish you could make it for the Treasure Hunter's book club meeting in Tampa next month. Lot's of people there would really love you to sign their copies of your book(s).
