A GATHERING of Caribbean personalities and intellectuals turned out for the recent book launch by former Commonwealth Secretary General and an outstanding son of the Caribbean Sir Shridath Ramphal.
Caribbean Challenges: Sir Shridath Ramphal’s Collected Counsel was launched at the University of the West Indies Cave Hill Campus’ Walcott Warner Theatre, where featured speaker Dr Ralph Gonsalves, prime minister of St Vincent and the Grenadines paid tribute to Sir Shridath’s tireless quest for regional integration.
Gonsalves said Sir Shridath did not merely have a ringside seat as an observer, but was an active participant in seminal global and regional events of the past 50 years, labouring “tirelessly in the vineyard of regional integration”.
And he observed that Ramphal was “still at toil in his beloved vineyard even beyond his four score years”.
Social Scene dropped in on the cocktail reception that followed.
