SpotLight On LeKK Adverts - Cable&Wireless, Seychelles' Premier Communication Company
Since 1893 Cable & Wireless (Seychelles) has been on the islands! When in the Seychelles kindly consider Cable & Wireless (Seychelles) for all your communication needs!
"On the 29th March 1893, the Eastern and South African Telegraph Company (our ancestory company) was granted a contract to establish a telegraph cable linking Zanzibar with Seychelles thence Mauritius capable of transmitting 15 words a minute. A cable ship named "Scotia" laid this and the work was completed on 11th November 1893. It was then that Seychelles became part of the world telecommunications network." - CWS Website (About Us)
Radyo Bamboo - Quick Updates!
A little bit about 'radyo bamboo' or 'bamboo radio'. In the Seychelles when someone hears news or information about someone or something, gossip for the most part, we say that the 'info' was heard on radyo bamboo! Of course we do not 'gossip' here! See you shortly for more great updates, bits of info, and other tid-bits on the Seychelles Islands!

Fun Quiz 11! Je Suis?
Who Am I? My daughter was romanced by someone who wore blue suede shoes! Although around a golf ball I had little time to play golf! Not from the Seychelles but my footprint loomed large over the islands for many years where I worked! Je suis?
Answer to Fun Quiz 11! Congrats to Juliette and T.Y. for all those who follow and play! Seychelles may be small islands but that does not mean that we do not have many many interesting stories, links, contributions to be made in this Big Beautiful World! The answer is United States Air Force officer Paul Beaulieu, formerly of the USAF Tracking Station at La Misere and father to Priscilla Beaulieu Presley! If you have a photo of Mr. Beaulieu kindly share it. Watch for our next Fun Quiz!
In 1948 her mother met a United States Air Force officer named Paul Beaulieu, from Quebec. The couple were married within a year. Beaulieu took over the raising of Priscilla and was the only father Priscilla would ever know. Over the next few years, Priscilla grew up quickly, helping to care for the growing family as her father's Air Force career moved them from Connecticut to New Mexico to Maine and later the Seychelles!
It was in Germany however, at the Eagles Club, that Priscilla met Currie Grant, a young American Air Force recruit whose Commanding Officer knew Priscilla's father. Grant offered to introduce Priscilla to Elvis Presley, stating that he was "...good friends..." with the singer, and that he and his wife would visit quite often. Being cautious and skeptical of such a claim, Priscilla said she would have to ask her parents, and over the next two weeks Grant met with them and assured them that she would be well chaperoned. The rest is of course history!
Some years later when Paul Beaulieu arrived in Seychelles, circa 1963, to manage the USAF tracking station located atop the mountain of La Misere, word got out that the new officer was the father of Mrs. Presley! A local artist by the name of Mickey Mancham had emulated the King as the islands were simply mad about Elvis!
The arrival of the Beaulieu family was well appreciated by all and added to the wonderful flavour of what is the Seychelles Islands!
