The Seven Ponds
Plaque at Seven Ponds, September 14, 2024
Dear Editor,
On behalf of our entire family, we were pleased to see the Place of the Seven Ponds look resplendent during the solemn funeral for Sir Shridath Ramphal. Additionally, it was a pleasure to hear Mark Ramphal, Sir Shridath’s son, use the poem by Martin Carter, our Father, entitled ‘Death Of A Comrade’ in tribute to “Sonny”, a friend and Comrade of Martin’s.
In spite of the efforts to place a picket fence and plaque next to our Father’s place of rest, allow us to point out that the photograph on the plaque is not of Martin Wylde Carter, but instead that of A.J. Seymour, another of Guyana’s foremost literary figures. We sincerely hope the mistake will be corrected, as it is also a disservice to Mr. A.J. Seymour’s family.
For easy reference, we attach the photograph of the plaque, with inscription Martin Wylde Carter but with A.J. Seymour’s photograph, on display at the Place of the Seven Ponds yesterday.
Sincerely,
Keith H. Carter, MD
