The Queen Honours Two BVI Residents
And if you're an avid reader of Our BVI Adventure, then you have been introduced to both of them!
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II recognized the founder of Pusser's Rum, Charles Tobias as a Member of the British Empire (MBE) for his contributions to the British Royal Navy and the community in the BVI. And fellow BVI resident and friend, Lorna Smith was awarded an Order of the British Empire (OBE) for her services to the government of the British Virgin Islands!
What an honor for both of them! Congratulations!!! If interested, check out complete list of honorees, that includes Annie Lennox and Steve McQueen.
