If Heather was a laserist is unknown by me.

Both Dan and Chris had stated some things that now are in the popular
Sams LASER FAQ.

I met Dan when he was 18 through the local laser grapevine.
I was amazed with the speed that he learned, he was a wizard!

For a while he had an SP Millennia II dpss system, running over 2 watts,
There were always many large frame ion heads running and in stages of repair at his place.
He built dpss heads even. At one time he even had enough batteries
strapped to his bicycle to power a small air cooled argon like an
NEC or ALC . As time went on he gained experience working with a local
company called Lasertainment and one of the companies in florida, its name
escapes me but it was probably with Chris Livingston.


We are asked to bring our lasers to the get together, I see large offerings.
I will miss the lengthly intelligent conversations with him, R.I.P. Dan


A nice news report that details both Dan and Chris (in text)
can be found here:

A local news station's video can be seen here about the crash:

That's a real shame, they seem like real nice guys, there wasn't much on the girl though. Sad day to see such assets to the world be taken away.
 
Heather Nichols was Chris Livingston's girlfriend...
Just goes to prove... nothing in life is guaranteed..:cryyy:

I am not sure what they are called, they sure are cool though!
I would certainly add that to the show if other requirements were met :)

On satellite I was watching Nickelback: Live at Sturgis, they had lots of pyrotechnics and fireworkss, it was really fun to see but needed lasers!
