Dear Editor,
I read about the President’s “astute sense of awareness as it relates to the challenges associated with the discovery of crude oil” and his warning to the nation about the possible serious negative effects on the traditional sectors. In our excitement it is easy to overlook the minus effect the discovery of oil and gas could have on our established and valuable bread-and-butter exports of rice, sugar and its by-products.
Let us hope this does not turn out to be the case, and that any such successful operation would give the country a much needed fillip, similar to that given during the building of the Atkinson Airfield (now C.J.I.) with the onset of WWII.
I also read letters in praise of the late Robert Williams. I met this chap briefly at a public meeting in Georgetown some years ago and was struck by his strong resemblance to a Charlestown family I knew as a young child at St Phillips primary school. When I learnt that he was “a former police constable”, something seemed to fit.
The father of my schoolmates was in the police force, stationed at Brickdam, and a sister and I would sometimes accompany the oldest son with his father’s lunch as he handed the carrier over the fence in Hadfield Street! They were a gentle family, both parents pleasant and kind, so if Robert descended from that family, the branch did not fall far from the tree.
