RON IBLE (White Water Wanderers club, Sydney) 30 April 2013 R.I.P. mate
Ron would not like a whole heap of pretty words – “a real good mate” would sum him up. Ron’s guidance and advice plus friendship to me, as a young starting-out aged 18 diver, set a course I’m forever thankful to him for. Although the following name won’t ring bells, Bill Colbourne introduced us when we all worked at the Sydney Markets. Ron Ible was a tough truck driver – as they all were then. Tough physical work that produced a physique similar to the axe-men at wood-chopping events. When Bill retired he went to live in the fishing village near Ron and his family. Two guys who gave me good advice at a time when kids like I was take things for granted. I recently thanked Ron – but regret not being able to do so for Bill who passed away soon after retiring.

Kathy was interviewed in the first edition of Fathom magazine. Her passion was working with dolphins. There is an interesting story potential involving her international travels and career with the sea.
An episode of a popular family TV series Skippy – The Bush Kangaroo was “The Marine Biologist” written especially for Kathy who was a marine biologist (CSIRO Dept. of Fisheries; Australian Museum) in real life.
The above picture was taken in Florida. More pictures at Kathy’s official web site.
