Dear Editor,
I was very sad to read that Yesu Persaud is to demit office as chair of DDL as of year end.Yesu has many outstanding qualities but primary among them are i. sheer politeness which you cannot beat; ii. vision for the future of his company and Guyana ‒ branding El Dorado was a genius stroke; iii. a dogged determination.
It is not surprising that he has built the one successful internationally recognized Guyanese company in DDL. I wish my friend a happy and long retirement, but I suspect he will not be that quiet for very long.
Yours faithfully,
John ‘Bill Cotton/Reform’
