True ambassador

September 26, 2008

Dear Sir,

Please allow me the opportunity to rectify a mistake of omission in a letter submitted to The Royal Gazette on September 18th titled "A Wonderful Visit." In my zeal to express my gratitude to the Pink Beach Club and those involved with the excellent operation of said property, I neglected to thank and mention a person who played a very important role in our joyous visit.

This gentleman plays a very important role in the success of the tourism industry. He with his fellow taxi drivers of Bermuda who have seen better days are true ambassadors of Bermuda. The Gentleman I speak of is David G. Fox, taxi # 1780. My wife and I spent the day with David in a most enjoyable and informative tour of the Island.

Being born on the Island I thought I knew the Island very well. One place I as a Bermudian had never seen was the American base. Anne and I had the pleasure of seeing a piece of Bermuda that, with some vision and good planning, the possibilities are unlimited and I speak of possibilities for the people of Bermuda! Many other areas we visited were the first time for me! Thank you David for a great day. You are truly a "Qualified Tour Guide," a proud Bermudian who loves his Island, Bermuda. God bless you and your family, mate.
