LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR VARGRAVE RICHARDS CONGRATULATES HAMILTON LOGO CONTEST
WINNER
Lieutenant Governor Vargrave Richards announces that a design by St.
Croix resident Peter Des Jardins was chosen as the 2004 Alexander Hamilton
Logo.
The logo will be used on a variety of materials to promote upcoming
commemorative events highlighting Alexander Hamilton's boyhood years
spent on the island of St. Croix.
"Mr. Des Jardins' logo aptly captures the essence of this event
by illustrating that Alexander Hamilton was a 'St. Croix Son,'"
Lieutenant Governor Richards said. "His design will help promote
upcoming events and draw warranted attention to Hamilton's St. Croix
connections. I appreciate this artistic contribution to my efforts in
promoting St. Croix's unique heritage."
Scheduled to coincide with the 200th anniversary of Hamilton's death,
commemorative events will be held July 8-11, 2004, on St. Croix. Highlights
will include a scholarly conference on Friday, July 9, at Government
House as well as a Hamilton Jump Up in Christiansted town on Saturday,
July 10.
