Goodbye Dr. Hughes!!!
Yesterday Adriane and I attended the retirement party Dr. Peter Hughes, definitely one of the most intelligent and charismatic persons I have ever known. He's quite an accomplished businessman, scientist, researcher and professor and to be quite honest, an extremely well spoken, kind hearted man whom I am honour to know even if it was for a short period of time.

It was once said, and I can't remember who said it or where I read it but true success in life comes from what others say about you. Nothing is more valuable than having your peers recognize your accomplishments. It doesn't matter on how much money you have, what position you are, or what car you drive, it is how you've had a positive effect on people's lives that you have come to know and touch. Dr. Peter Hughes is definitely one of those people who is rich in body, mind and soul and without him the Skoll program would not be where it is today.

Dr. Hughes, I wish you all the best in your future endeavours, we at the Skoll program will always remember you. In whatever you do, please don't ever be a strange to the program and come back and visit every so often. Enjoy retirement....you deserve it!
