Frederiksted, st. Croix, v. 1.
June %, 1861

JUNE IL, 1901
Since the resolution which was
introduced during the recent Leg
islative session to name the Chris
tiansted High School for the late
Frederick Dorsch has now be-
come a public issue, and to quote
the st. Croix News : Current in
its issue of June 81, 1861, caused
an explosion that made the ato-
mic blast at Hiroshima seem like
a .pop : gum" I consider it very
appropriate for me to tell the
public what is in my heart con-
corning this unfortunate and most
unpleasant attack on a dead
Patriot who cannot defend
himself.
/ write this not as a member of
any group or governmental de-
partment but as public citizen,
Delta M. Dorsch, and the wife of
Frederick Delos Dorsch. This
privilege cannot be denied me
First, / should like to thank
Senator Lucinda Millin for her
sincere effort which has now be-
come the target of the reaction
aries. Senator Millin, / am sure,
being fully cognizant, and deeply
appreciative of the untiring and
unselfish contributions made by
Frederick Dorsch for the past
thirty years towards the better
ment of the Virgin Islands made
this gesture in good faith not e
alizing that remnants of the old
Hate Dorsch, Spite Dorsch, cam
paign still exist in the islands.
My husband was held in con-
tempt by some because he dared
to be different. He dared to live
and think by the dictates Of. his
heart and conscience and not by
the man-made laws of his con-
temporaries. For this he has been
continuously prosecuted, even in
his grave.
After careful study Of the arti-
Gle in the st. Croix News Current,
checking Of the names of the
Petitioners, listening to two e
leases over Station WIN and
making a final analysis of the
whole situation I am now justifi-
ed in stating that this is a clear
case of personal grudge and en-
nifty for the deceased and any
thing. that bears his name. The
thought Of it is sickening to many.
The sudden loyalty of this group
and its desire to RETAIN THE
HISTORY AND IDENTITY of the

institution did not come naturally.

institution did not come naturally.
The contributions made by
Frederick Dorsch to the general
Improvement of these islands
(not just Ffederiksted), are too
numerous for me to mention here.
! shall therefore ask the consci-
ences of those who knew the
man" Freddy Dorsch to speak
out and enumerate those contri-
buttons for the benifit of those
who ask: who is this guy Dor
sch?" (St. Croix News : Current,
and for those who have so conve-
niently forgotten.
Now that Governor Paiewonsky
has seen fit to make the final
decision and the name Of Fred
erick D. Dorsch has been with
drawn l trust that the upset 10y
al minds" of the Petitioners will
be set at ease and that there will
be no more sleepless nights over
a name.
Since there were no fatalities
caused by the "atomic blast" l
would suggest that our 'fdear
enemies" turn their loyal atten-
ton to matters of a more serious
nature. Just to mention a few:
Setting up themselves as shining
examples for their students,
striving increasingly to teach
their students to look beyond the
trivialities of life, (such as the
naming of a SCHOOL,, the accredi-
tation Of dear Alma Mater and
the development of sound moral,
ethical and spiritual values in
their students.
At this point I would like to
request that any further thought
by the Legislature, civic groups
or individuals to name anything
whatsoever for my late husband
be abandoned. Let them save the
bouquets for those Of the living
who seek public acclaim and per-
sonal recognition. My husband
served these islands long, hard
and well. He asked for nothing
and received nothing. I ask the
public to let his name Rest in
Peace.
This is a true indication that
the good men do is, often inferred
with their bones. However, the
most comforting thought to me, is
that on that final day which we
must all face we will not be judg-
ed by the number of buildings
that are named in our honor but
by how well we have served
Humanity.
