The Editor, Sir:

Tucked away at the bottom of the middle page of the sports section of today's Gleaner is 'The story behind the Sir John Golding Rehabilitation Centre'. My contention is that such an important part of our history deserves more prominent exposure.

Sir John Golding was one of the most important adopted sons of Jamaica. He was so humble and yet so great. One day, I took two underprivileged children, one being deaf, to perform at a dance competition being held at King's House. My daughter had taken another group of physically challenged children to Ocho Rios for the same purpose. I saw Sir John sitting behind the steering wheel of an ambulance filled with children from the Polio Rehab, who were also competing. He said the driver did not report for duty so he decided to drive himself.

In the early days at Sabina Park, he had a child on each knee and two others on the grass by his feet. He has given a useful life to a great many persons.

I am, etc.,

LEO D. C. MARCH, C.D.,
