Congratulations on an outstanding interview with President of the Collectivité Daniel Gibbs

Dear Editor

Congratulations on an outstanding interview with President of the Community Daniel Gibbs. He, like many elected officials on both sides of the island, has worked tirelessly since Irma struck, and his skills and leadership have been much appreciated.
What most do not know, and he likely would not have told you, is what  President  Gibbs  was  doing  a  few  hours before  Irma  struck. My wife and I were at the shelter at the new school in La Savane and were surprised to see President Gibbs around midnight as he physically assisted, with walkie-talkie in hand, transferring the elderly and disabled who had been at the Grand Case Catholic Church to the La  Savane shelter.
While  most  were  finishing  hurricane  preparations  or holed  up  in  their home  or  shelter,  President  Gibbs was  hard  at work  a  few hours before the wrath  of  lrma  demonstrating  what  leadership is  all  about  -  helping  others  first.
