Pintrader, I've known Randy Stowe since 1978. When you talk diving bell around here, you might as well just say Randy Stowe. Randy indeed did start at the little cart concession that was across from the diving bell in 1977. In 1978, he worked as a "Junior" at the diving bell, and a robber/conductor at the train. Same thing in 1979. In 1980, he was lead man (manager) at the diving bell, and served in that capacity in 81 and 82. Then, it was back to the train for one season in 83. Back in 84 as lead at the diving bell, and as the lead man later in 85 at the new Lost River, and later on at the tobbaggan ride. He worked his way up to his present position slowly. Ah, the stories I could tell about Randy! But I won't, not here anyway. Randy is one of the finest people I've ever known or had as a boss. In 1981, I was second lead (assistant manager) at the diving bell, and served under him. We did indeed train Terry Sanders in the 1980 season. We trained many, many others over the years, too. Most people associated with the diving bell are long gone, having moved on to other things, like me. Randy, Russ Maulden, Kerry Chester, and Terry Sanders are the four guys that made a career out of SDC. Russ and Kerry were maintanence men at the diving bell, and both serve in similar capacities as managers behind the scenes. Russ emphasized sound and lighting for SDC productions. Everyone knows what Terry is up to as he is the most well known of the four people mentioned here. Randy is a fine family man with several kids and a great wife, and deserves everything good that has come along for him in life. I last saw him and visited about 3 hours with him at SDC in December, 2007. I wish only the best for him. I hope he has several more years with SDC because he is one of those guys behind the scenes that knows what it was like to work there in the old days when Jack, Pete and even Miss Mary still roamed the streets from time to time to check on how things were going.
