East Coast Demerara : People’s Progressive Party long-time stalwart Edmond Ford of Buxton on the East Coast of Demerara celebrated his 91st birthday yesterday.
The party's Presidential Candidate Mr. Donald Ramotar expressed the wish that Mr. Ford would push on to score 'a 100'.
At 91 Mr. Forde is still fit and agile and he credits his longevity to a healthy and stress free lifestyle as he promptly pointed out that he does not drink alcohol or smoke and is a vegetarian.
He was born in Buxton in the early 19th century, joined the Peoples Progressive Party in the 1940's and remains a member.
Mr. Forde continues to sell the party's weekly organ 'The Mirror' a service he has been doing for over half a century.
