Very Special On The Bottom Meeting

The next meeting of On-the-Bottom is scheduled for this Wednesday, May 6th at 7:30 p.m.  The meeting will be held at Illusions, at the Sheraton in Mahwah.  The guest speaker will be George Prezioso who flew aboard the B-17  Black Jack that went down in the waters around Papau New Guinea July 11, 1943.

Blue Water Divers recently had a trip to PNG and some in the group had an opportunity to dive the sunken B-17, and after their trip they decided to do a bit of research and found that not only was George aboard the plane when it went down, but he was alive and well and living in New Jersey.  George is making a special trip to Bergen County to present to OTB. There will be the usual raffle–and maybe even a birthday cake to help George celebrate his recent birthday.
