It saddens me this morning to inform you that two of our readers and Sovereign Confidential members, Mr. Scott Adam, 70, and his wife Jean were among the victims in this week’s pirate incident in the Arabian Sea.
Jean was a retired dentist with an interest in biology, Scott had ties to the entertainment industry. They were both radio enthusiasts (K9ESO and KF6RVB) and world travelers who were sailing around the world on their 58-foot yacht on a mission to deliver religious material to exotic locations.
Their ship was hijacked by Somali pirates last Friday, and they were killed in a shoot-out on Tuesday. You can read more about the circumstances here.
There are a lot of questions about the attack… a lot of things that just don’t make sense. But the important thing right now is to pay respect to these adventurers. In response to requests from readers, I’ve asked my staff to make Scott a permanent, featured member of our community.
You can read more about the couple and their adventures here.
