Toured downtown today with “Doc”. He knows his stuff & makes learning about St Thomas interesting by telling stories and not just giving facts. I forgot to get a photo of us with him. He’s a treasure trove of information and the trust is lucky to have him. We toured Hazel island with him about 6 years ago. Met a really nice couple in our group & had an enjoyable morning. Had lunch afterwards at Bumpas - great folks and delicious sandwiches!
