A rare pink diamond

Oct 20, 2009 Letters

Dear Editor,
Any Philatelist (collector of stamps) would agree that Geography and History are two subject areas that anyone can grasp a wealth of knowledge from and help with personal self development.
It’s one of my greatest passions and I will forever be grateful to the persons who contributed to this personal task which has enabled me to grow academically.
Guyana’s decision in commemorating stamps to the late music icon, Michael Jackson was indeed an amazing gesture.
Over the years Guyana has produced some outstanding personalities who has contributed to many different sectors and I have absolutely no idea what the criteria is in nominating or selecting someone for a stamp commemoration, but I take this moment to share with the public my choice of a nominee and hope that some consideration is given sometime in the near future.
Before I pen the name of that individual, I state for the record that I have never met or know the person in question personally, but it was only from reading that I learnt of the sterling contributions that has been made over the years and viewing some personal items on display in a showcase at The National Library.
I am referring to non other than Mrs. Carmen Jarvis former head of UNESCO among other posts held during her years of services.
I understand that she is now in retirement and to me, she is like a rare pink diamond and possesses the calibre which is difficult to come by in present day society.
T. Pemberton
