I live in the West Midlands, England and was born on 27 April 1952. Although I studied Natural Sciences and the Electrical Sciences Tripos, I only worked for a year in the Electronics industry before becoming a teacher. After 24 years of teaching in Secondary schools (11-18+), I have spent my time since 1997 working on IT-related projects.

My main hobby is Scuba diving and I've been involved in instruction of recreational diving for well over 20 years to date as an SAA National Instructor.

Having looked at the Misplaced Pages articles on Scuba and related topics, I felt obliged to create an account to take part in improving the topic to the best of my abilities.

Geogre

Geogre paranoid. Part of the Wiki-mood project

Geogre was among the finest editors Misplaced Pages has known.

It seems to me a real pity that we don't do more to celebrate his contributions.

Instead the system tends to eradicate them by erosion. To me it is as if we had decided to place Michelangelo's David outside a factory in the acid rain.

It is, in some ways, worse to see how the author himself is being turned into a 'non-person'. The damnatio memoriae of Geogre is no more apparent than in this FfD.
