That is really a stupid comment. Mr Hunt deserves to be congratulated by the Premier.
Well done Mr.Hunt, you are a credit to Elbow Beach in particular, and to Bermuda in general.
Nice
Congratulations and thank you Mr. Shirley Hunt for being a mentor to all the others that have or choose to work in our / Bermudas Tourism Industry…There truly is a future there for just about anyone willing to pursue a career in Bermudas hotels.
I worked at Elbow Beach during the late 70s and remember Shirley very well. He was lovely. Always calm, polite and gracious. A real gentleman.
