The Source is featuring a special reporting series on the dispersal of the many families who lived on St Croix and worked at Hovensa over the last few years - the 1st post was very interesting as so many people recounted the feelings they have on relocating and how much the children miss the community and their comments on moving back to the Mainland. It is worth reading for new arrivals as well as residents of all the VI - the deep personal attachments these families formed for the island can show all of us how Island life can affect our lives.
