Support for Williams' airport - chairman - 09-26-2019 “A dream made re­al­i­ty” was how the chair­man of the Dr Er­ic Williams Memo­r­i­al com­mit­tee de­scribed an an­nounce­ment that the Pi­ar­co In­ter­na­tion­al Air­port would be re­named in ho­n­our of Dr Er­ic Williams. Dr Williams was the coun­try's first Prime Min­is­ter and led the coun­try on the road to in­de­pen­dence. Prime Min­is­ter Dr Kei­th Row­ley made the an­nounce­ment while speak­ing in New York on Tues­day. Speak­ing to Guardian Me­dia yes­ter­day, com­mit­tee chair­man Regi­nald Vi­dale could bare­ly con­tain his ex­cite­ment. He said yes­ter­day, Sep­tem­ber 25, Williams would have been 108 years old. “It’s long in com­ing I would say, it is wor­thy of a great son of the soil, a great con­trib­u­tor to this coun­try, to our In­de­pen­dence and a great con­trib­u­tor to our Re­pub­li­can­ism,” Vi­dale said.
