ABACO MARKETS PRESENTATION
During assembly at
Abaco Central High School on 10th October, Patrick J Bethel presented a set of
The 100 Most Outstanding Bahamians of the 20th Century
to the school on behalf of Abaco Markets Ltd. The book outlines the lives
of 100 Bahamians chosen as the greatest of the twentieth century. "Eighty are
black," said Mr Bethel, "and 20 white; 18 are teachers; 40 are politicians (far
too many in my opinion); six are preachers; 12 are women and 88 are men." Mr
Bethel explained the selection procedures used and noted that he knew 52 of the
people to some degree.
The books will be a valuable research tool for the
students in Civics and Social Studies. Head of Department Mohamad Rahim received
the books on behalf of the school and thanked both Mr Bethel and Abaco Markets
Ltd.
