As a former Director on the Board of the OECS Eastern Caribbean States Civil Aviation Authority I to want to join with the former Directors, Airport Managers, Air Traffic Controllers and Aviation Officers in shaing our condolences with the family, members of staff of the OECSECCA ,friends and the Caribbean aviation Community in learning of the discovery of the remains of the Director General and the Director of Flight Operations Mr. Rosemond James and Mr. Gregoire Mcalpine respectively of the OECS ECCA.. Mr. James a former National of St. Lucia while Greg a former national of Trinidad and Tobago were examples in their fields and role models to many.
I knew those two distinquish gentlemen in a professional and in a personal capacity for over twenty years and to say that they were very professional, sincere, dedicated, and loyal in the despense of their duties; As friends we shared many light moments outside of the professional life especially during workshops, meetings, conferences and or via telephone and internet. I therefore view their unfortunate passing given the circumstance as a great loss to their family and to the aviation community and to me personally.
In God we find comfort and understanding and I pray that we together will be guided and comforted by his never changing love and mercies.

Former Director OECS ECCA.

Its In the International media that Cari com countries including DOMINICA have Supported the call for Britain to return Falklands to Argentina. Just Today the 23rd of February 2010 Hugo Chavez Is in the International media Addressing the Queen to give up Falklands to Argentina. I would like to know from the GOVERNMENT OF The COMMONWEALTH O DOMINICA why they are they in support of such actions WHERE AS Dominica is in the same situation with VENEZUELA. The said leader of Venezuela was talking forcefully on why the Queen should give up the Falklands to Argentina. Also Mr. Chavez asking the queen to give up Falklands.When you look the issue at hand Dominica and Venezuela are in the same issue with bird island. I Want to know If the Prime Minister of the Commonwealth of Dominica can support Argentina in its bid to retain the Falklands . Will the Prime Minister of Dominica take this open opportunity to Ask the President of Venezuela to honorable thing in Return the BIRD Islands To Dominica?????Also I want to know If The Prime Minister is Working in the interest of The Commonwealth of Dominica when he support such actions when Dominica is in the same boat as Argentina. I want to know why Cari com Leaders can do a thing like that to DOMINICA??? Caricom giving a slap to Dominica in OUR FACE.I want to know what is happening. I want to know if it is because we have a Foreigner as the Prime Minister of Dominica?? I want to know what are DOMINICANS view on this Matter.
I am sorry to hear about rosemond death.
