Fair Winds, Following Seas and Clear Night Skies Many of you are aware that Guam lost one of its best friends last week.  Peter Melyan has left us to seek out the undiscovered country.  He has embarked on the greatest adventure.
Peter was one of the world’s renaissance men.  He was a traveler, an adventurer, a racer, a climber and a great humanitarian.  He had contacts all over the world and led all of us on The Deep on some amazing adventures.  He was a great promoter of Japanese culture and language on Guam and was also a member of the Guam Diabetes Association. We are having a special tribute edition of The Deep radio show this Wednesday night on K-57. Please listen to some of Peter’s expedition calls and tributes from his many, many friends.  For this article, I’m featuring some of the items I wrote for some of Peter’s expeditions so you can appreciate his wide-ranging interests.

"The scale on which his studies proceeded was so large as to require longevity, and we were the less prepared for his sudden disappearance. The country knows not yet, or in the least part, how great a son it has lost. It seems an injury that he should leave in the midst his broken task which none else can finish, a kind of indignity to so noble a soul that he should depart out of Nature before yet he has been really shown to his peers for what he is."
--Ralph Waldo Emerson on the death of Thoreau
