EDITOR, The Tribune.
TODAY I became aware of Anita Doherty’s passing in Grand Bahama.
I was part of the Bahamas Arawaks Field Hockey Club of which Anita was member. I attach a team picture when the Arawaks women won the inaugural Pepsi Cola Cup in the mid-1970s.
The team comprised of some players from HO Nash where I taught. The team also included two other well known Bahamian female athletes - Winnifred Bethell-Russell and Florence Rolle.
Anita was a very valued member of the club; a very skilled player and supported the club’s efforts to recruit and train school age children. If you decide to print this picture, you have my permission to provide my email address if anyone in the picture wants to contact me.
