Dear Editor,

Allow me through your newspaper to offer my sympathy to Yuri Chandisingh and his mother on the death of Ranji Chandisingh.

I knew Ranji since he was active in the PPP in the early sixties before the ’61 election. I remember when Yuri was born and I asked Ranji the name of the baby, and he told me he was called after the first Russian in space, Yuri Gagarin.

Ranji Chandisingh contributed to the development of Guyana; he served in both political parties in government and did very well.

Yours faithfully,
W.P. George
