Dear Source:
Good morning. Would you by chance have any other information regarding the closing of this coffee establishment that was discovered in seeking to write this story? If so, I would like to share it with others. There are one or more people who perhaps would want to take on the challenge.
If not, there are certainly other options. In Costa Rica, a coffee manufacturer is owned and operated not by a person or partnership, but as a not for profit as the proceeds are used to offset the cost of retaining the enormous amount of natural preserve land that is set aside. I'm sure that with all of the individuals on this island who are conscious about the ecology, something could be formed that would work as a viable business, meet the tenets of the EDC, provide employment and keep a tradition from becoming a memory.
My name is below, and my address is 5042 Flamboyant Welcome, Christiansted, VI 00820.Thank you for any information you might be able to provide.
Dan Gilbride
Christiansted, V.I.
