Cayman Net News: The elderly should be recognised as well

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

The elderly should be recognised as well

Wednesday, June 28, 2006

Dear Sir:

I appreciate that Cayman Net News recognizes a person of the day by all nationalities - not just Caymanians. However, rarely is there a person or an elderly Caymanian in there that should be recognized and appreciated.

I suggest that often, a person who has done much for the community is recognized this way. Such as Caymanian contractors that helped build the foundation of our island today.

There are Caymanian men who have built the famous buildings and our treasured possessions. I know that may take some research to track them down but it would be greatly appreciated as many young people need to be reminded of their heritage, culture, and especially the history.

Many Caymanians who work hard and even own their own business and try to make a positive difference in the Cayman Islands are out there waiting for someone to reach out to them for that pat on the back.
