Greetings Family!
We have returned from our Caribbean adventure refreshed and invigorated.
We had a wonderful time cruising the seas, enjoying the beaches, sightseeing and shopping.
We spent an entire day in beautiful New Providence, Nassau. Believe it or
not, this island country is rich in unbelievable history. Here are a few interesting facts:
-Fifteen year old Queen Victoria freed the slaves in the Bahamas some 30
years before the slaves were freed in America?
-Milo Butler who passed away in 2002 served 25 years as the governor of
the Commonwealth of the Bahamas. To celebrate his legacy, the Bahamian government changed the face of their currency from
that of Queen Victoria to Governor Butler to better reflect the population he served. Today, the Bahamas has its very first
female governor, Her Excellency Dame Ivy Dumont.
During the voyage, we had a meeting to discuss family business. We all agreed
that we definitely want to continue planning and having family reunions every 2 years. Without them, we lose a vital link
to our history. As a result, Victoria Miller has volunteered to host the 2007 reunion in Atlanta, GA and Albert Cook has volunteered
to host the 2009 family reunion in Chicago. We have plans to put together a newsletter in the near future to update the family
on our progress. Until then, best wishes to all of our family members.
