Sherry Wash of Ft. Worth said it was a wonderful
coincidence. She’s been looking for a way to open a cafe on St. John
then she read on the Internet about the proposed lottery/sale of the island’s best known Italian restaurant.
"To say that this would be a dream come true for a single 42 year old
mother with two sons is an understatement. Upon showing the site and
listening to the theme music at Cafe Roma’s website, my 15 & 19 year old sons as well as myself were covered with goose bumps!," she wrote in a letter to the St. John Source.
"I definitely will be an entrant in this contest and look forward to
the possibility of living a dream in paradise," Wash said.

Is it open to not-yet but soon to be US citizens??!
Hiedi, Heidi Ho, sorry couldnt resist that one. Try having a name like Wash for the rest of your life and then tell me if Heidi-Ho doesnt go. Enough poetry for the moment. I would suggest that you go to the contest site for the precise rules and regulations for this contest. It is open as far as I know to U.S Citizens that are not currently living in the Islands.
That must really hack em off If you know what I mean, I was certainly wanting to get this thing going but with school supplies and clothing, it seems that my dream may be a far stretch at best. I have already placed my house on the market and expect a closing within the next 30-45 days. So win, lose or draw Im moving to the Islands. Ive even been praticing sounding like Bob Marley and saying mon instead of man, I guess that would be more appropriate for Jamaica but I dont dare mess with my legal rights the way things are going. But to make a long story short, how about you keep my e-mail addy. and possibly we could hang out and scare the crap out of some bad boy Marlin!! Good Luck with the contest. Im still trying for my deadline!
Please send info of Sherry Wash. I was told she passed away. I am beside myself and hope this is nit true.
