In addition, the owner, captain and crew of the Liktanur II performed
superbly in every area.
The work they did with showing movies, making
friends with the islanders and especially in planning cooking and
serving food and beverage for the island wide parties far exceeded their
usual duties and involved long hours.
Finally, the work of Reynold DeBrum helped us to bring this mission
back to Kwajalein successfully, a full two days ahead of what was
thought originally to be a restrictive time allotment. He learned the
various programmatic requirements quickly and performed claims work.
He translated at significant meetings, and worked aboard ship taking

histories for BNL.

He represented his government well as the Chief

Secretary's personal representative and was instrumental in explaining
policy and smoothing out individual misunderstandings.
He is well known
and respected by pebple all over the Marshall Islands as I witnessed
first hand on the Northern Marshalls Survey on the Wheeling, on the

WBC to Kili and Jaluit and this recent trip.
