Then & Now, historical facts

The official name of the “BVI” is the “Virgin Islands.” The United States of America bought the Danish West Indies, which were St. Thomas, St. John and St. Croix etc., in 1917 and because of the close proximity to the “Virgin Islands” these became known as the “United States Virgin Islands.” The “Virgin Islands” are a territory of the United Kingdom – people began to refer to them as the British Virgin Islands (BVI) for ease of differentiation. THEN & NOW will use the official name of the BVI in all its communications – “VIRGIN ISLANDS”

This is the first of a three part series with Hugo Vanterpool in which we look at the historical culture as written in his book Dusk to Dawn. Although the book is written in story form with fictional characters, the historical and cultural background are, nonetheless, factual – a very interesting look into the Virgin Islands past as seen through the eyes of a Virgin Islander.

Well, we have had the premier of THEN & NOW and I while I see some kinks that needs working out, from verbal feedback, it would appear that the showing was good – Jenny was and is an inspiration to everyone, and her recounting of the former days was, in my view, incredible and inspirational. I am very grateful to her for having agreed to be a part of this initiative – God Bless her!!

Sunday, April 15th 2012 will be the first of a three part interview with Hugo Vanterpool, who has written DUSK TO DAWN – A very informative book, which provided much information about the culture, heritage and history of the Virgin Islands, for us to chat about. I was absolutely enthralled with our discussion and I hope you will be too.

At the end of each segment, Traci, our health and fitness expert, will chat about healthy issues.

Please visit with us and let us hear from you.
