that we happened to be in while I was on a conference. He was supposed to do a signing for his new book Atlantis Found, but there must have been a mix up in the time because we got to sit and talk with him along with a small handful of people for a while. He told us about his love of real deep sea exploration and how his group was hot on the trail of the location of the Hunley wreck - a civil war submarine. We read years later with excitement that he had found it. He also talked about son and also his love of classic old cars.
Loved his books. Very kind man. God bless him.
