How did the Dacor Corp. name originate?

Dacor Jerry, you probably know the answer but hold off for a few days
and let's see what we get!

Best,

Tom

Tom, there are some very sharp tacks in this bunch and we have had a lot of the great pioneers of diving educating us on the history of the sport. Sam Miller, Phil Nuytten, Sam LeCocq, and several others. We are anxious to read and learn from your experiences as well.

That was too easy. I was going to say that Sam Davidson took part of his last name and put it with corp. Tom, welcome aboard on VDH.

Bryan,

Welcome back safely.

Yes I'm beginning to learn there are some legends on these pages.

Sam LeCocq, how wonderful! It'd really like to hear about the
beginnings of Sportsways and what happened to it!
Kgehring, some nice photos on your website, wtg!

Best,

Tom

Meet both Sam's in person at Portage Quarry this summer. It's our next big event. Just go to the trips section of the forum and look for the Portage Quarry 2007 post. You don't want to miss this year!!!
