Dear Sir, My husband Howard and I have had the great privilege of visiting your wonderful Island 28 times -- 26 at Willowbank. Our children and their spouses have also joined the Willow bank family whom we feel mirrors the hospitality and friendliness of all Bermudians.

We were, therefore, thrilled to hear that Herbie Knight was recently honoured as this year's recipient of the Visitor Industry Partner Sunshine Award! Having learned this, his San Antonio, Texas fans had designed, by a local artist, B. Cletus, the first San Antonio Sunshine Award which was presented to Herbie on May 28.

This award depicts the Alamo City, its historical sites as well as the huge sun which warms this Mission City. This large smiling sun is symbolic of the sunshine Herbie brings to all Willowbank guests, young and old.
