Dear Editor,
I happened across Cheddi Jagan, Jr’s letter about Denis Eon Solomon. I had the privilege of knowing Dr. Solomon when he was an undergraduate student at the University of New Orleans.
During our friendship in New Oreleans, Denis often went abroad to study at universities in Toronto, Glasgow, and Lancashire.
He was everything as a student that Mr. Jagan mentioned. He spoke frequently of his friendship with Cheddi and of always bringing home the prizes from Queen’s College to his mother who expected no less.
Although I have not heard from Dr. Solomon in many years, I was gratified to learn of his brilliant accomplishments and, like his mother, expected no less.
What a loss to Guyana, a country that proved far too dangerous to recruit and maintain its greatest scholars. Diane Landry Fisher, Ph.D., JD Maine, USA
