The Editor, Sir:

The St Elizabeth Homecoming Foundation Ltd. (SEHF) regrets the passing of Mr Desmond Henry, a former member of the board of directors.

Mr Henry served as press attaché with the Jamaican Embassy in Washington, DC, and later as director of tourism.

The foundation recognised the significant contributions Mr Henry made to the development of tourism in Jamaica, and particularly in the parish of St Elizabeth. He received the 'Best of St Bess' Golden Award for his sterling contribution in the field of tourism at our 1997 Golden Awards Banquet.

The board of directors, committees and staff of SEHF wish to express sincere condolence to the family of Mr Henry, an illustrious son of St Elizabeth.

I am, etc.,

ERROL BRENNAN

Vice-chairman
