It has been said that the experiences of childhood shape one's personality for a lifetime. This child of Palau was reared on an isolated tropical island by a great aunt who spoke only her native tongue and had few worldly possessions other than those gleaned from land and sea. The knowledge and skills learned in this subsistence environment provide the foundation for a remarkable journey into the modern world, a journey that is documented here in the hope that others will be inspired to make the most from what life has provided.

Since first arriving in Palau in 1966 as a Peace Corps volunteer, Paul Callaghan has lived and worked in the Pacific for more than forty-five years. He holds a Ph.D. in Marine Resource Economics and is a Professor Emeritus at the University of Guam, where he taught for almost thirty years. His specialization in fisheries has led him to experience life in many islands of the western and south Pacific. Over the years he has become increasingly troubled by the environmental degradation and loss of cultural heritage in many of these places. Here he captures one tiny sliver of history, lest its significance be lost forever.
