Anyone know Eugene (Gene) Bower (or Brower) who was in the US Coast Guard and often worked with the crew on the Newfoundland coast back in the mid to late 1970s.

They deployed an experiment with a parachute. In other words, they littered. I hope the stuff was biodegradeable.

Speaking of the Titanic, this April will be the 100th anniversary of the sinking of said ship. People all over the world are capitalizing on this event...Halifax, New York, Hollywood, Southampten England, etc......EXCEPT NEWFOUNDLAND....the place that received the SOS signal....the place where the ship now rests!! The silence on this issue is deafening! Come on Newfoundland, get with the program. Don't let this milestone pass you by.

I believe it was made out of fish food.... biodegradable? In other words unless your going to be part of the solution - don't be part of the problem.
