As a policeman, his character was above board, and I don't care what negative things are said of this man in the media and elsewhere, it would not change my perception of Gilhuys. Around 1989, I was returning home from over the Demerara River around 11 o'clock one night, and as I turned right into the Houston Road to go to Mandela Avenue, a cyclist appeared from the dark without lights. The man was knocked off his bicycle. It was the first time I had gotten into an accident in Guyana. I had a minor accident while driving a cab in New York around 1987 when a drunk Hispanic man did not stop at a major intersection. When the accident happened in Guyana, I was very nervous. I thought that the man was dead, but I jumped out of my Nissan B310 that I had purchased from Jai (son of Jainarine), and I loaded the man's bicycle into the trunk of my car. I also picked the man up gently and put him on the rear seat of my car and sped off to PHG. While taking the man to the hospital I heard him groaning at the back, but I kept talking to him. I thought that nobody had seen what happened, but while the man was on the bed of the hospital, Gilhuys appeared. He took one of his index fingers and opened the victim's eyelid, then he reached into his pocket and took out a torch light and flashed it into the man's eye. The man's eyes moved (indicating that he was alive). Gilhuys then turned to me and told me to go and report the matter which I did. Gilhuys was going in the opposite direction, and it appeared that he had passed my car, but noticed what happened through his mirror, and he turned back and followed me. There are few like Gilhuys in Guyana today. Red Lion I will read this article later, but Mr. Gordon Gilhuys is one of those persons I have extremely high regard for.
