In Memoriam The Honourable Sir John George Melvin Compton 1925 - 2007 I would like to be remembered for the part I played in Education. Photo Credit:https://micoudianvoices There is a Chinese saying if you're planning for a year – they say plant rice, we would say plant bananas. If you're planning for 10 years, you plant trees. But if you're planning for generations you educate your people and that is what we're doing. THANK YOU SIR JOHN! We honor you! We salute you! We will never forget you! We will never forget the contributions you made not only in education but in politics and the development of our island home – SAINT LUCIA. Sources: Your mark is indelible.
