Bahamas Ambassador to Cuba, HE Alma Adams on the passing of Manuel Cutillas
Nov 5, 2013 - 2:41:16 PM
The following is a statement by Ambassador Alma A. Adams:
I wish to join with those sentiments already expressed, in offering my condolences on the passing of Mr. Manuel Cutillas.
I was afforded the opportunity to have met Mr. Cutillas just prior to departing the Bahamas to commence my Tour of Duty, as Ambassador of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas to the Republic of Cuba.
On that occasion, I recall being quite impressed with him as a native son of Cuba, as he enlightened me in depth, concerning the history, culture, industry and natural beauty of Cuba.
In retrospect, as I now reflect on the discourse of that day and as I am presently being made aware of his work with regard to the many scholarships awarded to bahamian students via the Lyford Cay Foundation, I can understand and appreciate him even better, because he personified the essence of the importance of good quality education, as is evident in Cuba today, being made available to young people at all cost,
On behalf of the Embassy of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas in Havana, The Republic of Cuba, I wish to express to his family our deepest sympathy.
Alma A. Adams
