1. L. Iris Lowe Powers Marker
Iris Lowe Powers is the daughter of Harold J. Lowe and Minnie Caroline Roberts. Her home, Green Turtle Cay, will always be special place for Iris, whose studies of the early Harbour Island and Abaco settlers have made a valuable contribution to the preservation of the history of their islands. Her enjoyable and enlightening articles on island life have appeared in the Nassau Tribune. Exceptional research and a graceful writing style demonstrate Iris's loving interest in her island heritage. She assisted in the establishment of the Albert Lowe Museum which without her help would not be one of the cultural centres of the Bahamas.
