Dear Editor,
Thank you for your gracious editorial about George de Peana.
In the early 1960s, George de Peana was also Chairman of the British Guiana Youth Organization. In 1962, I was elected by the membership to serve with him on the Executive Committee of the BGYO. I was then with the Windsor Forest Youth Organization.
Together with others, George and I went to a World Assembly of Youth Conference (WAY) for two weeks in Port-of-Spain.
George was a gracious leader and I well remember his mentoring of a young country-boy from Windsor Forest.
Please allow me, through you, to convey my condolences to his family, and my gratitude for his friendship and his leadership.
Sincerely,
Bertie Ramcharan
