Ex-principal safe in Bahamas

Article by Ezra Stuart

Hurricane Dorian may have missed Barbados, but it has still struck a few Barbadians in The Bahamas.

While former principal of the Princess Margaret Secondary School in St Philip, Dr Wismore Butcher and his wife have been left marooned in the house where they are staying in Grand Bahama, preliminary reports are that they are safe.

His brother Berkeley raised alarm bells among the Mason family of Bayfield, St Philip, with a Facebook post, highlighting the plight of the retired educator and his family.
