Among other things he was cited for his role as a Founding Member and long-time president of the Southampton Rangers Club.Bermuda College lecturer Quinton Sherlock, who is the Branch Chairman, described the well-attended dinner as a “family affair”, coordinated by member Nattie Bean with entertainment provided by branch members.
