The Tribune

EDITOR, The Tribune. MY FRIEND, Bishop Neil Ellis told me: "There comes a time, which when it comes, will define your life for the rest of your life." Could it be that time came for the Bahamas on February 25, 2012 at the opening of the Thomas A Robinson National Stadium. There will be persons that write about every detail, but it is suffice to say that the whole affair was a testimony to what we can do. We can only hope that from this day forward, Bahamians realise what came to be on February 25, 2012. Yes, I am sure there were hiccups, but so what! There was no hiccup in the sense of pride we felt about where we came from, where we are and where we can go. We came together, without the division of colours, but with Bahamian spirit. I may not have physically been there, but WE were all there. We can only hope it sets the tone for the weeks ahead. Congratulations Bahamas, the future is promising. A generation is now exposed to the world of possibilities, which will define us for the rest of our lives. By George, we've got it. ED FIELDS We The People, Nassau, February 26, 2012.
