ANTIGUAN SCHOLAR AND POET PASSES ON

It is with much regret that I announce the passing of Dr. Veronica Evanson Bernard. Ms. Evanson as she was known to the many Antigua Girls High School students passed on peacefully earlier this evening having reached 80 years old. Dr. Evanson  Bernard was ill for some time but died comfortably at home in New York. To her family we extend our condolences. As Antigua Girls High graduates we mourn the loss of a teacher and scholar whose early influence on our intellectual and academic careers will cause her to live on for many more years to come. Thank you, Ms Evanson. Your work is done. May you rest in joy and peace.
