    Hero for any school child from 70's and 80's

    A man with red beanie ... man for whom children stop playing just to watch undersea wonders on TV. It was a ritual for many children to watch Cousteau on television despite parent's protest for football game or some movie on other channel .... at least in my family or my friends as we all want's to be explorers or astronauts.

    It's a shame that we only have Sir David now as no one younger want to pursue this form of career ...

    Jacques and David, great mans who teach us to love nature in his many forms.
