I want to add my voice to that of our Premier, Mr. Vance Amory, in congratulating Mr. Everett (Webbo) Herbert on the 25th anniversary of Von Radio's broadcasting.
When my late husband and I moved to Nevis in 1989, it was because we had loved the island over many years. A plus was that fact that VON was already broadcasting and playing a role in community affairs. When I was elected President of the Nevis Turf and Jockey Club in late 1989, it was Mr. Herbert who helped me make a success of my term.
I seemed to almost live at the station and together with Mr. Edson Elliott, the Treasurer, appeared many times on his call in shows. Mr. Herbert helped make it possible for many changes to be made in the club and with publicity and increased attendance we were able to pay down the club's debt.
VON Radio has been even handed in its political stance and been a reliable source of information during crises such as hurricanes and other disasters. I always enjoy listening to the radio, particularly the call-in and other talk shows.
Unfortunately I cannot be on Nevis to personally congratulate Mr. Herbert and wish him continued success in the future, but want to do so at a distance. Keep up the good work!
