Today's Featured Biography

 

David Andrews

Born in Loma Linda, California, August 6, 1938, was moved to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, for a few years and spent my early years (K thru 10th grade) in Grinnell, Iowa. I was a water rat even then and drowning (and being resesicated by a lifeguard) never changed my love for the water.

I moved to California's Newport Beach and lived on the Balboa Peninsula for my last two years of High School at Newport Harbor Union High and lettered in springboard and 3 meter diving. I went on to Orange Coast College and played and lettered in Water Polo, swam Individual Medley for the Swim Team (and worked the 3 meter board as a diver), was elected to the Student Council as a Representative at Large, and graduated in 1960 with an AA degree in Electronics (number 2 in my class). I was a Newport Beach beach lifeguard for six summers and also a deputy sheriff with the Harbor Patrol. During this time I was also a jet mechanic (still like those F9F-6's) in the USMCR, VMF 241. Later I was a fire fighter in Santa Barbara. I worked in the electronics industry for Ford Aeronautics, Northrop, and then IBM in Santa Barbara and (also for IBM) worked at Vandenberg AFB.

In 1967 I moved to Nassau in the Bahamas and became a scuba resort pro and taught SCUBA diving to tourists in the hotels and took them out diving on the reefs. I was certified as both a NAUI and PADI instructor (NAUI #1366) and helped run a couple of Instructor courses and also taught underwater photography. While living in Nassau, I traveled around Europe with my new Irish wife (we are now seperated). I also organized and played water polo and trained the dolphins at the Britania Beach Hotel and Resort on Paradise Island. I also started a very sucessful program teaching kids to swim and snorkel at local schools in and around Nassau.

After a few years running a dive operation in Nassau and Paradise Island, we moved to West Palm Beach, Florida (December, 1976), bought our home on Banana Road, and established a commercial photography business, Andrews Photography.

Life had been good, beach lifeguard, fire fighter, scuba instructor, dolphin trainer, commercial photographer, and then one day I got blown up in a gasoline explosion trying to help some neighborhood kids. It was an interesting experience, not a good one, but very interesting. OK, second and third degree burns are not good. It took a few years recovering and I still have some problems that I attribute mostly to all the medications doctors have prescribed. I can give you information about Cipro's dark side that Bayer does not want you to know.

I will be 70 next year (2008), am seperated from my wife about 10 years now, on my third Pacemaker, have had six eye operations, some breathing problems ( COPD - Emphysema), and had heart surgery as late as Sept 19, 2006. You may never know any of that by looking at me though, but now (another inconvience) I just had surgery for a hernia and will not be able to play my favorite sport, underwater hockey, 'till sometime in 2008.

I spend way too much time on the computer, and not enough time fishing or skin diving. I fish in the Atlantic Ocean and the Intercoastal Waterway for Snook, Redfish, and Sea Trout from my little Lobo kayak, snorkle for lobster, and do play Underwater Hockey. I want to get down to about 175 pounds. My current weight is 195 which I feel is too much even for a 6'1" old guy. To fine me on the Internet, just put David Andrews Palm Beach into Google and click on the first site to come up (also one from the local paper down a bit with a photo). On MSN Messenger I am [email protected] if you want to Instant Message.
