LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Cayman Net News website is a real lifeline

Wednesday, October 20, 2004

Dear Sir:

We have Caymanian "refugees" filling our once empty nest. Two children who were born there and are now here in St. Catharine’s, Ontario, Canada in School with two of their cousins. We read your website daily. It was too bad that you lost power and information during the critical height of Ivan. We had our daughter and family in a downtown bank building and lost contact. Without the Peace of God to calm us it would have been more traumatic for all I am sure.

Certainly to us overseas here it seemed like information was deliberately being withheld but perhaps with GIS losing power and maybe many staff losing nerve, it can be understood. Let's hope the lessons learned will result in better information service the next time. Late news in today's world is just not acceptable.

Your website and the streaming of Radio Cayman is a real lifeline with Cayman, the island we have come to love after many visits. This winter's trip will have to be cancelled as it seems now.

Keep up the good work and God bless.

Horst Mielke,
St. Catharine’s, ON. Canada
