There is the United States Attorney-General Eric Holder Jr. Next is Dr Vilma Scantlebury, the world's first black, female organ transplant surgeon. Then there is Gail Brathwaite, the chief operating officer of one of Connecticut's largest banks. To that list, Bajans can add Adrian Fenty, mayor of the nation's capital. This energetic son of a Bajan became the city's youngest mayor in 2006 and people across the capital looked to him to change the fortunes of a municipality which often seemed mired in scandal, mismanagement and corruption. By any measure, he succeeded in changing things. Unfortunately, Fenty, 39, who speaks openly about his Bajan family connections, now has less than three months before he must leave office.

By many accounts, the star attraction of the evening was the Mayor's mother, Jeanette Bianchi Perno Fenty, whose family hails from Monte San Giovanni Campano, a small town located about 90 km southeast of Rome and about 14 km east of Frosinone in the region of Lazio. Her family emigrated to the United States in 1920. Mrs. Fenty and her husband, Phil Fenty (a native of Buffalo, N.Y., whose roots are traced to Barbados and Panama) moved to Washington in 1967.
