Robert Rines saw Nessie
The Rabble may be interested that a man who really influenced our world, from Broadway musicals to finding the Titanic has passed away. He was a brilliant inventor, lawyer, composer, human being and HE SAW THE LOCH NESS MONSTER! Check out this article in The Telegraph: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obit...ert-Rines.html
I was honored to have met him on a number of occasions. He started my law school with a few others, (mostly from MIT), and he hosted us a dinner and came to our graduations.
He had a passion for finding the Loch Ness Monster and applied himself to hunting in his spare time. Coincidentally he found a Wellington bomber in the Loch while hunting Nessie. I was delighted to find him on public television one night and I was amazed at what he was doing - IN SCOTLAND! He led a long and amazing life. He is an inspiration to us.
