Belated Cheers to the Baron!
[Henry Edward Ernest Victor Bliss, commonly known as Baron Bliss (16 February 1869 - 9 March 1926), was a British-born traveller who willed some two million United States dollars to a trust fund for the benefit of the citizens of what was then the colony of British Honduras, now Belize.
The Bliss Institute (a performing arts centre that was previously a museum, research centre, and library in Belize City) was part of the benefits from this endowment, as were the city's Bliss Lighthouse (where Bliss's tomb is located), the Bliss School of Nursing, and various other medical facilities around the country.
Belize celebrates Baron Bliss Day each March 9 in his honour.]
