Fitting tribute to Caroni
THE EDITOR: Congratulations to Ato Boldon on his appointment to the Senate. It is gratifying to us as members of the UNC to see one who it seems, has "dug deep in the trenches, with blood, sweat and tears," elevated to the Upper House. It reminds us of the historic day when Panday installed the ohrni-cladded Dora Bridgemohan as a Senator, whose "blood sweat and tears" on the fields of Caroni, was like an Olympic Medal to the grassroot sugar workers. But then, Caroni no longer exists today, and all that remains as a heritage on its plains is the Ato Boldon Stadium — a fitting tribute from Jack Warner and Basdeo Panday to the people of Caroni.
