Another great loss to the Local Scuba Diving Community - Laurel Lefever
Posted: Thu Nov 05, 2015 12:30 pm
I got word that another of our northwest luminaries passed... It was not diving related.
Laurel Lefever was a cornerstone of critter identification in the Northwest for as long as I can remember. His is a massive loss to the community and a reminder that we must never take our 'old guard' for granted.
The Northwest Dive History Association is doing a good job collecting interviews before it's too late but i'm not sure they were able to catch up with Laurel. If you know or are related to a local treasure that who's story in diving should be archived for future generations please please reach out to the NWDH Association (or PM me, I'm no longer on the board of the association but I do have a camera or two and might be able to help out)
Some interviews from NWDHA can be seen here:
