Francois Leduc, Montreal, Quebec, CANADA

Recently met Francois while he was in Victoria promoting the latest IMAX film Great White Shark

Francois Leduc is a breath hold diver who played a critical role in the filming of Great White Shark; it was his job to ensure the divers featured on screen had their backs covered. He dove in and swam freely with sharks, the preditor we have all learned to fear, the ocean's largest and arguably most dangerous animal.

Roberto Scala, Naples, ITALY

#740 in the postcard mailings finds its way to my mailbox . . I know Roberto had been awaiting word of the mail arriving, but it took some time and finally arrived in the post Christmas mail. Many Thanks my friend . . See you in the mail!
