Bryan ordered territorial flags flown at half-staff for Catherine Dorothy Lockhart-Elskoe

Gov. Albert Bryan Jr. ordered all territorial flags in the U.S. Virgin Islands to be flown at half-staff from sunrise to sunset on December 17, 2019, in honor of Catherine Dorothy Lockhart-Elskoe, who died on December 3, 2019.

Government House said Lockhart-Elskoe co-founded the Elskoe and Associates Carnival Floupe more than 60 years earlier and began a teaching career in 1952 that lasted more than 30 years.

According to the proclamation, her cultural work included helping start the Children’s Carnival Village and the Prince and Princess Pageant, assisting the Smithsonian Institution’s 24th Annual Festival of American Folklife focused on the Virgin Islands, serving as president of Revive Our Culture, and helping form the Emancipation Garden Christmas Challenge of Carols.
