Jul 15, 2009 Letters
Dear Editor,
I read in Kaieteur News of Sunday, July 5, 2009, an interesting letter with the name of former Chief Magistrate Mr. K A Juman-Yassin affixed at the bottom. My interest in the letter however, is not about the donation of the miles to persons in need, but rather about the distances as stated, which I am sure are unintentional mistakes.
The letter states for example: “when you travel for instance to Trinidad you get 706 miles, as this is the distance from the Cheddi Jagan International Airport to Piarco Airport.”
This is incorrect; the distance between the two airports is 353 miles.
I suppose what the learned gentleman intended to say was that distance is the round trip distance.
The same mistake is again made with other distances between airports.
My only reason for penning this missive is to prevent misinformation from getting to our children and is in no way intended to embarrass the gentleman.
