Dear Source:
At the age of 75 my father is still a very focused man. He is still about the people of the Virgin Islands. He is the consummate professional and believes in the rewards of hard work. He has had many opportunities to leave St. Croix, but feels compelled to stay to help improve things for the future generations to come. I feel that he is often overlooked for many things politically, and is taken for granted because he is a very humble person that does not ask for much in life. He is about results and doing for the people, and he does not expect anything in return. He has lived in the same house for over 40 years, and the phone number has never been changed. One day it would be a dream of mine to have him recognized for all of the hard work he has done, and is still continuing to do for all.
