For Seniors Week last month, and the Caribbean
Community of Retired Persons (CCRP) held their Living Legacy Awards event where
Jamaicans of many walks of life were honoured.
They are St John’s Ambulance Head of Nursing Marie Clemetson, lecturer/composer
Noel Dexter, international sports organizer Michael Fennell, broadcaster and
actress Leonie Forbes, volunteers and educators Cecile and Norman Jarrett, lecturer
and human rights activist Horace Levy, lecturer and former Poet Laureate
Professor Mervyn Morris, retired JDF Chief of Staff Major General Robert Neish,
St John’s Ambulance volunteer and instructor Clembert Powell and NDTC founding
member and dance instructor Patricia ‘Patsy’ Ricketts.
We were bowled over by the untiring efforts of these excellent
Jamaicans. In his reply on behalf of the awardees, Mike Fennell also paid
tribute to the many other generous Jamaicans who may never gain similar
recognition.
