Dear Editor,
I would be most grateful if you can grant me some space in your letter column to make an honest and candid statement about seven (7) Guyanese patriots, who are the seven candle sticks of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana, namely, Professor Clive Thomas, Stanley Ming, Glen Lall, Ramon Gaskin, Eusi Kwayana, Tacuma Ogunseye, and Paul Slowe. Our politicians would be well advised to take a curious look at these seven honest, patriotic Guyanese gentlemen, and start thinking of the unification of all Guyanese. Also, our journalists should start doing more in-depth journalistic investigations, and seek interviews from these gentlemen, since they would learn a lot to fill the news pages, and at the same, educate the Guyanese population. The above named Guyanese patriots are shining examples of what a Guyanese should be. These seven elderly statesmen names will be written in the annals of Guyana history. I do not know these gentlemen personally. I had, some years ago, a chat with Glen Lall and Stanley Ming when I worked as a driver at the VCT Channel 28 Evening News. Editor, I would be most grateful if you can publish my thoughts as a matter of freedom of speech and association, in order that all can understand the feelings of these honourable gentlemen and their expression of interest for all the people of this, our beloved nation.
Sincerely,
David Noel
