Before we left for our trip to the USA we had a busy week in Cayman highlighted by a visit from Governor Duncan Taylor. As many of you know, the Cayman Islands are a British Overseas Territory and while it has its own legislative assembly and Premier they ultimately must get the Governor's approval for all actions and his signature on all laws. It is a subtle but firm reminder that the British are the ultimate government here. He is the Queen's representative and is referred to as "His Excellency" the Governor. We had been trying to set up a visit to ICCI for several months and had cancelled an earlier visit at the last minute when he got stuck in budget meetings. This time he set aside a large block of time and came with his wife to visit the college. He was given a tour as well as a chance to meet our staff and interact with a couple of our early classes. He did a question and answer session with one of our classes and seemed to have a good give and take with the students during that session.
