Island Olympians in training
There are a couple of kids on the island you should know about. Sailing champions, and brother and sister Hugo and Mimi Roller. Hugo just qualified for the Youth Volvo World Cup in Canada this summer, one of only 30 kids in the whole world to make the cut. Mimi, who just turned 16, has now qualified for the sailing World Championships and the Pan American Games. Mimi hopes to compete in the 2008 Olympics and Hugo’s gunning for the 2012 Olympics. And their mother is none other than Bongo Bongo landscaper Josephine Roller. If you’re at a villa and happen to run across a landscaper named Josephine, ask about her kids. It will make her day.
Also, sailing isn’t cheap, so if you feel like donating to the V.I. Committee to sponsor Mimi, call 340-693-5579. Please? Otherwise Josephine will just keep planting stuff at Bongo Bongo to pay for it.
