It's quite the thing to DRESS like Bond...

…It’s quite the other to BE like Bond….

While gathering Christmas items from the attic I ran across some old files.
I saw this article in the paper I had clipped out and saved many years ago.

I’m sure our very own Mantis (David Zaritsky) will be surprised to see me post this.
The fact that he never mentions this incident makes him all the more the true meaning of the word “Hero”

Wow. Props to Mantis. I already had plenty of respect for you, but now even more so. Thanks for doing something extraordinary and truly good.

Ed that was very very kind of you to post....but they took that pic of me 2 hours after being thawed out from the ice and the smile is forced. As for the hair, I have bu defense except the shock of the water was nothing compared to the shock if that cut!

The Domino Effect · December 2011

Fantastic story. I tip my glass to you, Sir...without ice, of course.

Good Job David, you are very humble

Dave, you did a man's job Sir! That is an accomplishment of a lifetime and one that ripples through many family trees. You get a standing ovation. Sincerely, George

Good job David. True heroic stuff. This brings back memories, I lived barely a 1/2 mile from that location, on the other side of the tunnel. We used to use Bert Crawford Rd as the short cut to the mall. This is a blast from the past. Remember the house on that road that used old toilets on the front lawn as planters? That was a real class act. What would Bond say?

Where is the Brosnan era Omega Seamaster, Dave? :v

I'm a bit stuck for words here. - We all like to think we would do the right things possibly like Bond? Here is historical proof David already has. A brave and exemplary rescue, under the worst possible circumstances. Well done sir. I already wanted to meet you when you are next the UK if possible, - even more so now.

Ed thanks to you too, for highlighting this.

For a sec I thought that was Jim Carrey from Dumb and Dumber... LOL except the complete set of teeth...

On a serious note, it's great to know there are still people of David's calibre around the world in the case someone ends up in a pinch. I don't know any who are braggarts... sorry if this call to attention is a bit much, David but nice work, chap.

Kittlemeier · December 2011

Great job DZ!

And I'm sorry but I can't resist.

thespyboys11 · December 2011

Well....the way I see it, David is in good company with a lot of famous people sporting that particular hairstyle all started by that great stooge himself...MOE HOWARD!!!!
