Dear Editor

On the occasion of the death anniversary of former President Desmond Hoyte my friend Francis Quamina Farrier posted a photo of the Hoyte’s residence on North Road, Bourda which is now a museum dedicated to the life and memory of the late President.

However, the sign on the building is misleading as it states ” Dedicated to the memories of Mr. Hugh Desmond Hoyte and Mrs Hoyte, Former President from 1985-1992. Mr. Hoyte was President, not former President during the stated period. Therefore the sign should clearly state President 1985-1992.

As trivial as this issue may appear, I am usually guided by my doctor who often says to me “when you don’t address the little things, big things erupt.” Institutions, especially museums, must have their facts clear.
I hope those responsible will have the sign corrected.

I once attended a function at which then President Hoyte was invited to give an address. He got up and stated 18 North Road Bourda. That’s where he lived even as president.

Regards
Wesley Kirton
