Bahamian nationalist and patriot

Fri, Sep 2nd 2011, 09:20 AM

Dear Mr. Editor,

Thanks as usual.
Sir, today I shall complete a long overdue assignment; one I should have drawn to your attention years ago, but on this day may be more relevant.
Sir, God has spared us from a direct hit of hurricane Irene; you may not know that on such a catastrophic occasion real hero's come to life and do their thing, unnoticed by almost everyone, year after year, hurricane after hurricane.
Such a person is Gus 'Big Jew' Outten; former police enforcer of the 'house of pain' fame; spiritual and inspirational leader of the world famous champion Valley Boys and presently president of the truckers union at Baha Mar.
Mr. Editor, 'Big Jew' arrived at McDonalds Restaurant, Oakes Field, this morning at 7:30 a.m. after a harrowing all night stint, clearing road ways and moving trees, unsolicited by anyone and at no expense to the nation!
Sir, this is what Mr. Outten does; he jumps in his D-8 machine with his radio, monitors the radio stations and where ever there is a report of blockage he goes there and solves the problem!
This is commendable national and patriotic work, without fanfare and at no cost! Mr. Editor The Bahamas should thank God for such a patriot, and pray he lives forever.
He tells me, his next act will be a dance off with the 'Big Belly man' from the Shell Saxon Super Stars, so watch out.
I thought you would want to know.
Thank you.
 

Yours, etc.,
TONY FERGUSON
