Jacques Costeau died today at age 87. I think all of us will mourn his
loss, as we have had his influence in our households since the birth of the
"Nature" type television programming, and probably even before that. He was
a good and intelligent man, and he did much that increased our
understanding of Marine Biology and Eco-Awareness. His was a cause that
served not only people and the creatures of the sea, but also all of this
beautiful blue Earth.

Agreed. I grew up on reading his articles in old National Geographics, 
about the Conshelf series, and the wonders to be found under the sea. He 
will be missed... though I still can't imagine the world without him 
walking around on the deck of the Calypso.

Aye, Calypso, the places you've been to,
   The things that you've shown us, the stories you tell,
Aye, Calypso, I sing to your spirit,
   The men who have served you so long and so well.
