Erhart Aten
Erhart Aten (1932–2004) was a Micronesian politician who served as the first elected Governor of Chuuk State (then called Truk). Aten took office in 1978 after self-government was implemented. He stepped down from office in 1986 after serving two, four-year terms as Governor and was succeeded by Gideon Doone. Aten graduated from Xavier High School, a Jesuit secondary school located on Chuuk, in 1962. In late November 2004, Aten and three other men were crossing Chuuk lagoon to Weno island when their boat was hit by a storm. Their boat and all on board were lost at sea. See also
