Letter to the Editor…RHTY&SC congratulates James Fraser on promotion
Dear Editor,
The Patron Beverly Harper, President Keith Foster, Management and members of the Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club would like to express profound gratitude to our Hall of Fame inductee James Fraser who has been promoted to the rank of Major in the Guyana Defence Force.
Major James Fraser
Major Fraser played for the Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club for over a decade at the First and Second Division levels and scored a total of 5,706 runs, averaging over 40 runs per innings. He scored eight centuries with his highest at the second-division level being 140 versus Liverpool while his brilliant 190 versus Albion was his highest at the first-division level.
Fraser also captained the RHTY&SC first-division team and represented Berbice at both the Under-19 and Senior levels. After being overlooked for many years, Fraser was selected to represent Berbice at the senior level and he scored 53 on debut against a Demerara team that included Test players Reon King and Colin Stuart.
What makes Major Fraser’s achievement simply remarkable is that he went back to school at the age of 26 and obtained seven passes at the CXC level. He joined the Guyana Defence Force in 2000 as a Cadet Officer and was promoted to Second Lieutenant, First Lieutenant, Captain and now a Major.
Fraser has also successfully completed a Diploma in Animal Health and Veterinary Public Health. All of us colleagues at the Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club salute Major Fraser on his remarkable achievement at the young age of 42.
We are all very proud of him and even prouder that he is a product of the RHTY&SC formula of Success, Hard Work, Faith in God, Honesty, Dedication and belief in the work we do. He is a perfect role model to the younger members of the club as he is the perfect example that education, determination and discipline are the keys to success.
The cricket teams of the Club would honour Major Fraser at its 24th Awards Ceremony on the April 27 as a Hero and Positive Role Model.
