Cool gear. Is that aVulcan knife? And the waist belt hanging down to your knee, makes me think it was a borrowed rig. Do you know if the original owner still has it all? Was it a family member?

That just happens to be Superlite at a tender young age of 10. Started diving in 1957 at the ripe ole age of 6. Got my first C-card from Inland Divers Supply and School in Kansas City, Mo. that was at the ripe ole age of 12.
this photo is from the late 60's in Kansas getting ready for a dive in Tuttle Creek Dam
The gear in the photos is long gone. But I have begun going back to my roots and vintage gear like I learned with.
