I consider the oppor- tunity to follow them a privilege of a lifetime. Shoes such as theirs are diffi- cult to fill," Taylor said.

Besides the financial, which initiated a sea change in industry profitability, and the deep- water construction/acquisition program, which is putting Tidewater squarely on the deepwater map, I also consider his achievement in the area of improving Tidewater's safety performance to have been monumental.
