Arthur C. Clarke Reports From Sri Lanka

Jeff Patterson writes "Sir Arthur C. Clarke has filed a damage report from his home in Sri Lanka on the Clarke Foundation page. He is fine, however 'among those affected are my staff based at our diving station in Hikkaduwa and holiday bungalow in Kahawa -- both beachfront properties located in areas worst hit. We still don't know the full extent of damage as both roads and phones have been damaged. Early reports indicate that we have lost most of our diving equipment and boats. Not all our staff members are accounted for -- yet.'"

    First off, I would like to mention it is horrible everything that has happened in that Region of the world. On another note. So he mentions that he has lost his boat and diving gear. I wonder if he (personally)is into diving or just his crew is into diving. I know it isn't the most fitting thing to mention, but hey it would be pretty cool with Arthur C. Clark was into Scuba Diving.
