St. Maarten Private Eye

Dear Larry,

I would only answer to say that her majesty is a modest hardworking lady.
I had the pleasure to meet her in 2001 at the Belvedere housing project.
The meeting was an initiative of our Lt. Governor F.Richards who had organised one of the first community gatherings.
This was before the many community councils were even formed.
I remember that Floryn catering had set up a long table with plastic chairs and one very "Majestic" looking chair for her Majesty.
The Queen came to the table, took one look of the "royal looking out of place chair" and asked if she can also sit in a plastic chair.
So my guess is that she most probably preffers to ride in the bus with the dignataries and other people, than to ride in the Lt. Governors car or a limo.
She also can get more feedback while sitting in the bus with many others, while they are talking, than alone in the limo.
I heard Suzanne saying on Island 92 that her Majesty asked very critical questions to the EXCO, about very current issues.
I am sure the Dutch newspapers will be full of news covering her Majesty visit, so people should read online, as our papers will not be out untill Monday.
I only wish that her Majesty had the oppertunity to meet and speak to some of the environmentalists on this trip.
PJIA was officially opened by her Majesty last evening to a well attended crowd I heard.
My question is: what is PJIA doing with the construction debris of the old PJIA building that is being torn down?
Philipsburg landfill or Simpson Bay lagoon?
