Congratulations Mrs Merle Albino deCoteau!!!   Well done and well deserved ... your hard work is truly being appreciated and most of all, you are so willing and happy to pass on your knowledge in educating both young and not so young, not to mention the disciplined manner in which this is being passed on to the youth of our nation, which is so well needed in today's world.  Keep on with your good work. Perhaps the future will behold some of your students following in your footsteps at Sunshine Awards or other esteemed international award ceremonies.

I'd also like to congratulate you, Mrs Albino-De Coteau.

And you do belong to a most distinguished Trinidadian musical family.

I've never met any of you, but yours is a family name that I've known since childhood, associated with our culture.

Thank you for you and your family's contributions to our culture.
