Dear Editor, On the anniversary of my father’s birth, March 22, I would like to take this opportunity to talk about two individuals who are still alive and who helped significantly in President Chedddi’s foray into national politics and great success in the 1953 elections when my Dad was the first elected leader of Guyana.
