The Punch this week, while reporting the news of the merger of the printing and distribution of the Tribune and the Guardian, referred to Mrs. Carron as a “dinosaur”.

In an eloquent letter earlier in the week, the Nassau Institute referred to the debt that the people of this country owe the Tribune for the excellent job they have done over the years, not only in reporting the news, accurately and fairly, but occasionally jogging our memories about past events that have shaped this country.

Like thousands of others who look forward to the Tribune each day, I turn first to the editorial. I am amazed at the information seemingly at her fingertips and the fact that she can produce such eloquent and powerful editorials day after day, week after week.

When I read the comment in the Punch I thought of the statement that Sir .Winston Churchill made to the Canadian Parliament in 1942, when he referred to the French generals who predicted, after the fall of France, that “in three weeks England will have her neck wrung like a chicken” Sir Winston said to Parliament “some chicken, some neck!.”

So, to the writers of the Punch, I say “Some dinosaur!”

How fortunate the Bahamas would be if we had a few more like her.
