Any of you ever heard how Forbes Burnham inveigled Barrister-at-law Desmond Hoyte to join him and the PNC in sophisticated, but activist party politics?
Hoyte was a gentleman-supporter of the Party.

One such accused became Mr Hoyte’s driver and later my close family-friend-driver too. (See how I could have learnt things about the Hoytes? My driver-friend is still in Ann’s Grove, a village with childhood nostalgia for me.)
If any of you are interested in how Mr Hoyte – and to a lesser extent, Dr Ptolemy Reid became a reluctant politician,
