Dear Editor,

I join with the rest of the writers to express my condolences to Mrs. de Caires and the rest of the family of Mr David de Caires. As one of the early writers with the newspaper, I join also with the other former reporters in their comments on Mr. de Caires and the tremendous impact he has had on all our lives.

I remember joining the newspaper just before the 1992 elections and meeting with Mr. de Caires and quickly becoming impressed with his commitment to the democratic processes. No one can challenge his contribution to Guyana and the changes he has helped to bring about to the country. A great patriot has passed and he will be missed.

Yours faithfully,
Mohamed Khan
