We all may ask "What is in the water in Sosua?" that produces such fine people with longevity, humour and happiness - whatever it is may both Skip and Mr Hess keep up the good work and both set a shining example of just what Caribbean living does for the heart, soul and body! Congratulations to both of you from all your loving friends and family here in the Dominican Republic.
