"The show ended when I joined a geology professor and a crew of students from American University on a 'round-the-world' cruise to explore volcanos. This left the void which was filled by new programs. Money was not a factor. Nothing could have been cheaper than the budget for my shows. (Incidentally, the expedition failed when our 72-foot ketch was damaged in a storm in the Red Sea in 1966.)"
