A note of gratitude

The Editor, Sir:

At this most blessed season when gratitude to God for his Son fills my heart, I pause to express gratitude also for two very special occasions that made the season brighter for me.

  • The first is to the group behind the steel band that thrilled the community of Hope Pastures on Saturday evening (December 20) with beautiful, glorious Christmas music. The band, moving around on an open truck - festival style - infused the atmosphere with angelic tones. I do not know the source of the delight but want to use this medium to say "Thank you!"

  • The second is a series of presentations broadcast on CTV - the number one station for arts and culture (their tag line) - on Christmas Eve. I must say the features I had the pleasure of viewing lived up to that tag line.

    They included presentations by tenor David Reid accompanied by Paulette Bellamy and Dr Carol Ball, Dr Kathy Brown on piano and the Immaculate Conception High School choir among others. "Thank you, CTV!"

    Is it too much to ask that we have more of these welcome interventions from time to time?

    I am, etc.,
