  • Come on Pan Trinbago.  Listen to Mr. Kenneth Clarke.  Take up his suggestion and place this icon before the nation, especially the young ones who seem to know little about greats like Anthony Williams.

    • A Doctor Anthony Williams? This is not a priority for PT...this type of abandonment and disrespect is deeply embedded in our cultural identity.

      What does it take to name a school after this great man, a stamp in his name or UWI to name its school for Pan Tuners after him, what about a scholarship in his name for those students who want to pursue studies in Pan development?

      The GOTT should be able to do something that's meaningful to inspire our youths who want to believe there's a future in PAN.

      • Well said, odW ... why not an Anthony Willams BOULEVARD, OR AVENUE, OR HIGHWAY, OR EVEN TERRACE?
