Hurricane Lily destroyed the Club, and it is now being developed into a new resort.  

One of David's major contributions to the culture of Rum Cay has been the Rum Cay Herald.  Not only does it provide local news coverage and updates on the lives and loves of the local citizens, it is filled with his own witty insight and editorials, contributing to the morale and morals of the locals.  As a historical document, it is riveting reading,  and other then Delores Wilson's "Rum Cay, My Home" the only contemporary written history of the island. 

I hope to have permission from Mr. Melville to reproduce in it's entirety all of the past issues of the Herald.  Until then, this is all I have to date.
