LOL @ the 1706 - 1718 flag Sunnyjohn 09-14-07, - 03:19 PM I was looking for this, lost it somehow. LOL @ the 1706 - 1718 flag Considering that we have "pirates" teifin' all we natural resources and money, perhaps we should go back to that flag! LOL! Sunnyjohn 09-14-07, - 03:22 PM 1 Aug 1973 - 22 Jan 1979 Sir Milo Boughton Butler (b. 1906 - d. 1979) (incapacitated from 2 Sep 1976) Sir Milo had a stroke, right? CG 09-14-07, - 03:25 PM Considering that we have "prates" teifin' all we natural resources and money, perhaps we should go back to that flag! LOL! The old motto of this country - and it goes way back - was "Pirates expelled. Commerce restored." Looks like some of the Pirates never got the message. lol. CG 09-14-07, - 03:30 PM Did you notice the last names of some of those Governors? Shirley Gambier Dowdeswell Rawson & others. Many of our streets etc were named after them. I wonder how many kids in School learn this? Can you pick out some more from the list? Sunnyjohn 09-14-07, - 03:39 PM Did you notice the last names of some of those Governors?

Woods Rogers, Stapledon, Cordeaux, Dundas.... CG 09-14-07, - 03:46 PM Woods Rogers, Stapledon, Cordeaux, Dundas.... So far, in modern times only Governor Butler had something named after him. Of course Pindling Airport but he was not a Governor. bahamiangoddess 09-14-07, - 03:55 PM Also take notice of the last names of Bahamians compared to the last names of Lord Proprietors and Governors. I could explain some of our heritage bahamiangoddess 09-14-07, - 04:03 PM Some of the Governors have streets in BAHAMIA in Grand Bahama named after them. Woodes Rogers Dr. Ellis Lightfoot Drive Wentworth Dr. Chillingsworth Court Cadwallader Jones Dr. I wondered where those names came from.

Rory 09-14-07, - 06:09 PM I do concur that 90 is now a Bahamas World Statesmen, he seems to have garnished enough support to become Prime Minister of the Bahamas. :shaky: |
