Times -Advocate, March 10, 1982
It's the kind of situation
that moat people can only
hupe for in their wildest
dreams. A close relative
moves to Nassau in the
Bahamas and invites you to
visit. You're welcome to stay
in their guest house, swim in
their pool, eat their food and
have their maids wait on
you. Sounds too good to be
true?
Wel, believe it of not,
that's what happened to us!
My sister, Judy, her
husband, Andy, and their
two children recently moved
to Nassau, and we were
more than happy to take
advantage of the situation.
Amazing -how our desire to
visit them increased when
they moved to Nassau. (And
they say it's amazing how
many more house guests
they have while they're
living in the Bahamas.) You
see, they had been living in
Washington, D.C. for the
previous two years, and we
hadn't found time to visit
them there. And prior to that
they had been living in such
places as Thailand, Cam-
bodia .,and Viet ' Nam - • not
exactly dream vacation
spots.
My brother-in-law's
profession with the
American Foreign Service
takes them to all these exotic
locations. At present, he
holds the post of Charge
D 'Affaires in
Nastllau.Because there is no
American Ambassador in
Nassau, Andy has a very
important position.
His influence was, ap-
parent right from the
beginning of our visit. We
were at the tail end of a long
line=up waiting to get
through customs when we
arrived in the Nassau air-
port. On the other side of the
gate. we saw Andy approach
a Bahamian customs of-
ficial. We were soon escorted
through customs with no
questions•asked!
Judy and Andy's home (for
which Uncle Sam pays a rent
of 82,500 per month) is
spacious, yet very com-
fortable. One wing has two
guest .houses with their own
entrances. The other wing
has maid's quarters and a
garage. They have a large
living room, dining room,
modern kitchen, ' three
bedrooms and a Bahama
room, where they spend
most of their time.

Mary's
musings
By Mary Alderson
waters of the ocean, while in
the back yard is a large
patio, complete with a pool.
Two maids do the cooking
and cleaning, a gardener
comes twice a week to look
after the grounds, and
. another man comes once a
week to clean the pool. While
there is no ambassador
assigned to The Bahamas,
Judy and Andy have the use
of a chauffer driven car.
Not that my sister needs a
chauffer! She whips around
the island (which is only 21
miles by seven miles) quite
nicely, thank you. Our ride
home from the airport was
our first experience with
Bahamian transportation.
The Bahamas still shows a
great deal of British in-
fluence - for example all the
traffic travels on the left side
of the road. However, they
do not drive British cars! To
confuse things they drive big
American cars with the
steering wheel on the left, on
the left hand side of their
narrow, twisting roads.
Does that slow. down my
sister in her big Pontiac? She
passes anyone in the way -
and it's usually taxis - they
like to travel slowly to let the
meter run as long as
possible. And the taxis are
Cadillacs, Mercedes or even
Rolls Royces!
My niece and nephew
enjoy the hot climate and
have playmates of every
race and colour. They go to
private schools, where .they
wear English style uniforms.
So what does my sister do
all day while the children are
in school and the maids look
after the house? Well, she
manages to keep very. busy
with the other diplomats'
wives. They have bridge
clubs, tennis clubs, fashion
shows, teas and so on.
In fact, having an active
social life seems to be. a very
important part of the
diplomatic corps. Judy and.
Andy are frequently invited
aboard cruse ships or navy
vessels which are in port.
While we were there we were
able to tour the cruise ships
Emerald Seas and Sunward.
Andy was also able to get
passes to take us to the
cabaret show at one of the
large resort hotels on
Paradise Island.
Recently, they entertained
Mahammad Ali when he was
in the Bahamas for his
disasterous fight. Unfor-
tunately, they were unable to
meet 'Prince Charles and
Princess Diana while they
were holidaying in the
Bahamas.
However, we did get to go
with Judy and Andy to a
party at the Governor -
General's. The Bahamian
governor general is Sir
Gerald Cash and his wife is
Lady Cash. We arrived at
their huge, old home in a
chauffer driven limosene
with the American flag
flying on the hood.
The party was held in a
pavilion which reminded me
very much of the old Grand
Bend casino. We were
directed to the second floor
where we went through a
reception line and shook
hands with Sir Gerald and
Lady Cash. (Incidentally,,
Sir Gerald has just returned
from seeing Charles and Di
off.)
The balcony overlooked
the grounds, where the
Bahamian Police Band
provided music. They were a
spectacular sight - all
dressed in immaculate white
uniforms wearing their
spiked hats. The party was
honouring the Miami to
Nassau yacht race, and
many big silver cups and
trophies were presented to
the yachtsmen.
Fortunately, by this time
my husband, Victor, had a
deep golden brown tan and
sun -bleached hair. He looked
very much like the many
crew members of the various
yachts, and we blended in
with all the other partyers.
One problem though; he
should have been wearing
sneakers or deck shoes with
his suit and tie.

Oh hi, if you are wondering

see we are on a field trip to

equipment around he trails
until we reached an open
field where we ivere to build
a fire with two matches.
Then we had to boil half a

were eligible for this game.

Too many juniors
Need senior badminton
Coach Pat Rowe will have
to contend with an im-
balance of persons when she
chooeee her South Huron
badminton team! in the near
future; there are 20 players
vying for eight positions_ qn
the junior squad, while"'kt
the same time, there aren't
enough players for (senior)
to fill the senior rater.
Rowe has yet to find a
senior boys single player and
will likely have to move one
of the juniors up. "I was
hoping the club would serve
as a farm system to develop
players for the team",
remarked Rowe.
This year's team will be
led by 1981 OFSAA senior
girls doubles quarter-
finalists, Ronnalee Bogart
and Ma ja Gans. According
to Rowe, the duo should be
able to repeat as WOSSA
champions barring any
major upsets.
"We could also do well in
the boy's doubles if the
players had a better at-
titude," she said. Greg Prout
and Kevin Parsons have the
potential to improve on their
fifth place finish at Huron -
Perth last year, in Rowe's
opinion.
WOSSA junior mixed
doubles champions, Leslie
Hunter-Duvar and John;
McAllister are moving up to
senior, where they should be
able lo finish among the top
three in Huron -Perth and
qualify for WOSSA action.
"It's a big step moving
from junior to senior - the
action is faster and the
teams make fewer
