FLASBACK: Derek Smith Sr., who is currently a photographer with Bahamas Information Services (BIS) but was one of the photographers who worked with me at the Nassau Guardian when I was the Guardian’s editor from 1998 – 2002, sent me this keepsake photo taken at a U.S. Media Seminar in Nassau on September 17, 2005 when I was editor of the Freeport News. I (Oswald T. Brown) am pictured at center with Sir Arthur Foulkes (left), my journalistic mentor, and D. Brent Hardt, who was Deputy Chief of Mission and Chargé d’Affaires at the U.S. Embassies in The Bahamas from 2005-2008.
