Celebrations observing the 50th birthday of the Virgin Islands
National Park this weekend include dedication of a new memorial garden
near the National Park Service building and a fund raising dinner at
Caneel Bay.
Representing the Park will be Walter Chavez, the interim
superintendent, who will be on the job through most of the winter while
a permanent head of the VINP is recruited. Chavez’s last posting was
at the San Juan National Historic Site.
