Dear Editor,
I wish to thank the people who erected the tamarind tree on Union Road in Cole Bay.
This was the greatest gift I got for my birthday. This tree and the house it demolished had a lot of history for St. Maarten.
Under the branches it housed the first school in Cole Bay; it also housed the first open market.
People from all over sold their products and vegetables under the tamarind tree.
So I say: Many thanks and God’s blessings.
Felicita Lewis
