Autorenporträt
Louis R Dames was born, raised and lived his entire life in New Providence, The Bahamas. The loved son of a beautiful Long Island Seamstress and an Androsian carpenter both of whom were self-taught perfectionists who passed those traits along in abundance to their only son. He is a product of the Anglican high school, St. John's College Class of 1959. Later he attended Salisbury & Wells Theological College, from which he graduated in 1973. His true education was self-taught in a wide range of disciplines from accounting and finance to health and wellness to construction and beyond. His career in business and in the Anglican Church spans more than sixty years. Among his accomplishments, he has guided the development and served as chairman of two local private multi-employer pension funds for over 30 years. One of these funds he helped develop from a sapling to a thriving institution surpassing $150 million in assets. He is the beloved Father to nine children, numerous grandchildren, greatgrandchildren, and hundreds to whom he has been a surrogate father, mentor, and friend. He is affectionately called Papa Lou by all of his family members and friends both young ones and not so young ones. He dispenses wisdom with the deftness of a sage or guru to all who seek it and has righted many a wayward course over the years. It is with this in mind that he has written regularly to his family and friends many words of wisdom, encouragement and hope. Some of these are published here to share with others.
