Story & Photos By Nikki Jennings<br />
It was a normal day at <strong>the</strong> museum—couples and families coming by to visit <strong>the</strong> exhibits while o<strong>the</strong>rs<br />
were popping into <strong>the</strong> shop to pick up postcards or bags <strong>of</strong> Salt Cay salt—when Ann Dempsey appeared.<br />
Ann is a (very) long time resident <strong>of</strong> Grand Turk and a great supporter <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> museum. I remember her<br />
words exactly: “Why don’t you take a look at this, tell me what you think. Do you think <strong>the</strong> museum might<br />
be interested?”<br />
