June 3, 2003 – Gov. Charles W. Turnbull extended official condolences on Sunday to the family, friends and colleagues of Gwendolyn E. Kean upon learning of her death.
Kean was a former Education commissioner and a former principal of Charlotte Amalie High School and was long active in civic affairs. She also was a patron of the arts and a longtime active member of Christ Church Methodist on St. Thomas.
"Whatever task she was assigned or undertook, she performed with perfection, zeal and dedication," Turnbull said. "She made the Virgin Islands a better place in which to live."
