In Memoriam to a Shipmate Lost...
I joined Starfleet to be a part of history. Also
because I've always wanted to be in a Star Trek Club.
As a child growing I've always dreamed of being part
of that phenomenon. I also wanted to be part of a
legend. These are my reasons for joining Starfleet.
Sincerely,
Juan Canto LTCD3

This is the last webpage we made for our beloved ship's counselor, LCDR Juan Canto. Juan finally lost the battle against his illnesses which had confined him to a wheelchair for most of his life. This man, though limited by his body, had a bottomless well of compassion for others.
A licensed counselor, and therapist, Juan was the embodiment of "Let me help". He was an unwavering supporter of this Ship and her Crew.
All hands, by order of the Captain, stand by while heaving to and dimming running lights. Ringer, strike 4 bells...
Lieutenant Commander, Counselor, shipmate and friend...departing.
