A friend of mine heard this the other day.
A roller coaster, a gondola to rival the one on STT. A new HUGE dock to handle cruise ships..
Anyone else hear anything about this?

Well, I just hope it doesn't interfere with Ruth's zipline tours!

Found this about Stedmon Graham's daughter
Galbraith, 26, and Graham, 27, both Chicago residents, were vacationing at Caneel Bay Resort on St. John. Although Galbraithe could not swim, Graham was teaching him to float on his back. She apparently slipped from an underwater ledge sending them both into water over their heads. Graham swam to shallower water to get her footing, but Galbraith sank to the bottom.
Though CPR was performed, and paramedics arrived within 15 minutes, it was too late and Galbraith was pronounced dead an hour after the accident.
An hour later, Graham was on a St. Thomas-bound ferry, then on a plane back to Chicago that evening.
Galbraith’s death has been unusual from the start: St. John police did not learn of the drowning until later that night, after Graham was already out of the territory. And though it occurred on a V.I. National Park beach, park officials didn’t hear of the incident until the next day.
There never has been any indication of foul play or any evidence that the drowning was anything more than an accident. But Police Chief Norville Francis is very perturbed. “We had no chance to ask the young lady any questions.”
The GLOBE article states that Winfrey and Stedman Graham were worried that Wendy would be bogged down in legal matters and held on the island. Investigators later talked to her by phone.

Wow! I can't imagine having my boyfriend drown and splitting so quickly! That's just plain weird.
