Title: The Bajan (Barbadian) connection!
Post by: Bajanne on May 25, 2009, 04:49:14 PM

I was just looking at the online news from my country, and what do I see?  A picture of the Attorney-General of the USA and my sister Maizie!  He is of Barbadian descent (father born in Barbados, and mother born in the US of Barbadian parents).  They just honoured him with the naming of a community centre in the constituency where his father was born.  My sister was once the representative of that area (and my dad was principal of a high school in that area as well).  This is the sister I told you guys about already.  82 years young!!!  Here is the link - http://www.nationnews.com/news/local/eric-holder-FRONT-PAGE-OTHER
