Spent many hours stomping through the jungles, snorkling the many beaches around the island and even hit a few golf balls. I never saw a brown tree snake, did see a few small deer running wild and did experience close encounters with great white sharks while diving the other side of the reef. Survived a severe typhoon, got some severe sun burns and enjoyed many beautiful sunsets on the beach. The large white birds of paradise flying along the beaches were etched into my memories and I've often wanted to go back to see the many changes made by time. I'll never forget Guam and the many friends I made there and worked with as a radioman. The island was beautiful. "Tweeds Cave" an adventure. (check out the book) "Duva Devine" means, Guam is Good! Clink. Tuba is terrible. (Guamanian drink) Coconut husking a skill to know. Tarzan River my favorite place to escape. (Drowned there, but was revived by Fred) my hero. Memories are vivid of Guam. Rode the water buffalo and a 90cc Honda many miles. Beautiful women behind every tree.....(oh, shut up).
