Sint Maarten/Saint Martin, two names for one rather small island. This now peaceful Caribbean island has a long and bloody history. Violence began long before the day Columbus first sighted the island in 1493 on November 11, the holy day of Saint Martin of Tours. He claimed the island for Spain, naming it Isla de San Martin. Throughout history, the island changed hands many times between Spain, France, Holland, Britain and... Read More
I was so stunned and saddened when I heard the news that Doug Hoerth died on Wednesday. I loved listening to him, and at times, talking to him whenever I had the opportunity to.

In late 2004, I started a morning/early afternoon job at the Mellon Bank Client Services Center Downtown. An... Read More
