Reply to "West Dem church urged to help arrest social decay"

I was near the Tain koaka with other sugar workers,  on the day of the bombing. Those were tense times in Guyana.

There is a suspicion that Tain, Port Mourant was chosen for the bombing, because Cheddi Jagan was from Port Mourant.

PM sugar factory was closed by this time and Albion became AN/PM sugar estates [Albion/Port Mourant].

Where I worked at AN/PM  Estate were two African women,  who were driven to and from work, due to the violence. The Indians rode their bicycles.  

The Chhangur family was from Fyrish, Berbice and I believe Nesbit is still in Ottawa. In the late 80s or early 90s he sent me two copies of his new album,  that was played on West Coast radio stations. I might still have a copy.

His sister who was the administrative manager's secretary at Albion Estate and a close family friend, is in Ontario. She was very helpful to my family in Guyana, when I first came to Canada.  

They are a wonderful trusting family, who was very helpful to many in Guyana and Canada.
