And to round off
this, I present a man who has been much maligned but is now silent.
David Nakhid is seen chatting here with Dexter Skeene, CEO of the
Pro League and technical director, Lincoln Phillips, a few months
ago. (3)
Remember him?
For a long time, the Port of Spain South MP, kept his head down,
after his colleague, former Works Minister and PNM Chairman, Franklin
Khan, was charged with corruption, arising out of allegations by
Dansam Dhansook.
But he seemed to have gotten more confident as months passed and
nothing happened.
Talk among his colleagues suggested that he had even made up with
his wife and was back home, and attending church, after some indiscretions.
For himself, Eric had gained some weight and was looking smug, no
doubt, as a result of the luxuries of public life. (4)
This man walking on the Grand Anse Beach in Grenada was the human
interest story of the year.
When this photo was taken last year, I did not even know his name.
He was in his 80s and was a regular fixture on Grand Anse Beach
on early mornings, when his dogs walked him.
Indeed we often exchanged pleasantries over the years that I had
come to know him on my regular visits to the Spice Isle.
Last year, however, we stopped and chatted for a longer time as
he told me about his encounter with Hurricane Ivan, insisting that
it was a tornado.
He told me about looking at his roof being peeled off and showed
me the cuts that he suffered on his nose, from a broken glass window.
