Point Fortin Mayor Saleema Thomas, middle, joins awardees at the Point Fortin Borough Corporation's 42nd anniversary Civic Reception on May 3

Trinidad & Tobago, W.I. - Inspirational stories of ordinary and extraordinary people of Point Fortin, who have distinguished themselves in the service of others, were highlighted as the borough recognised and honoured them in commemoration of its 42nd anniversary.

Comedian actor, radio personality and all-round artiste Damion Melville, was one of two people who received awards for excellence in the field of arts and culture. Joseph Lett, panist extraordinaire, was the second recipient.

Lett, who is known as the “melodic pan man” at funerals, has been instrumental in introducing a music ministry to many of the churches in Point Fortin and in having pan introduced in schools in the borough, the latter with the support of Atlantic LNG and Bechtel.
