Dave and Brian's Excellent Adventures

As part of Dr. Ballard's drive to interest the youth of today into underwater exploration, we have 5 kids from all over the United States that have been flown to Greece to see what it's like to be on a research vessel and meet Dr. Ballard. Yesterday, they came on board and got to introduce themselves and answer questions about their experience in Greece and what they'd seen with Dr. Ballard. They communication was broadcast to students and Boy's and Girl's Clubs all over our nation. It was pretty impressive the reach Dr. Ballard strives for and successfully meets. All the kids here are between 13 to 15, and have spent a lot of time studying about what Dr. Ballard has accomplished and why he's here, in the caldera.
