Dear Editor,
For some time now we knew that Wordsworth McAndrew was not well but being a proud and determined man he bore his condition with great bravery.
He did finally yield to help from his community and did put in appearances at some of the events. My last meeting with Wordsworth was at the Guyana Folk Festival in New York in 2004. His sight was not that good and when I introduced myself by saying, “Wordsworth, do you remember me? I am Carl Veecock”, his immediate response was “ What wrong with you man! Carl I remember you” (I live in Toronto). I knew Mac well in his active days. We never bothered to call him Wordsworth, it was always Mac and to him it mattered not.
