In the early 90's while working as a Police Officer for the City of Cleveland Ohio I was approached by a man asking directions. I asked him where he was from. He told me he grew up on a very small island that I probably never heard of. I asked him what Island. When he replied St. Martin I asked what side the Dutch or French. With that his eyes lit up and he told me the Dutch side. We talked for a few minutes. About an hour later this man approached me again, this time with his wife and children. I was introduced to his whole family and on our next trip to St. Martin I met his Family on the Island whom we stay in contact with.
