Albertson '96

These pictures are from our first dive trip to the quarry in West Rutland, Vermont that we later learned was known as Albertson. Date: 0ct. 6, 1996. I am wearing the white t-shirt. Gil is relaxing in the water. Not shown is Tom Easop, who is featured in the Fugue, in The Library Book.

We had been told about the quarry by the veteran dive instructor in Massachusetts who taught us Nitrox. He spoke of underwater tunnels, and we decided to go dive the quarry. We had no idea what to expect, and little did I know that I would write a novel.
