In Clive’s younger years, the dive
shop he worked at had a phone for information about water conditions. A disembodied voice would drone “This is the Aquatic Center dive
report.”Clive decided to become the voice
of a salty sea dog named
Horace
P. Quagmire
“The
daredevil darling of the dismal depths”
In addition to water conditions,
callers would now be entertained by Quagmire’s jokes, sea tales, and recipes
for abalone. Divers who remember the reports
would often show up at Clive’s book signings and ask him to sign their copies,
“Horace P. Quagmire.”
