Senator Diallo Rabain had no qualms about spotlighting his two-year-old daughter Layla Diara when he was called back to the podium for a special award following his keynote speech on Sunday at the 49th Annual Founders’ Day and Drum Majors Awards luncheon.Premier Paula Cox called the well-attended luncheon at the Fairmont Hamilton Princess Hotel a “back to the future event” after endorsing Sen Rabain’s challenge to senior members of the Progressive Labour Party and parliamentarians to take one or two younger people under their wings, buy into the collective vision of the PLP founders; and counter any thoughts the party has drifted from its core philosophies.“We will win the next election,” declared Sen Rabain, after being introduced as “a Senator who will make it happen”.He said “the people of this country know deep down the PLP embodies the best Bermuda has to offer”.Ninety-year-old Sis Ann Pindar was one of four singled out for Drum Major awards. She was one of the few women actively involved ’behind the scenes’ during the founding of Bermuda Workers Association, and its subsequent birthing of the Bermuda Industrial Union, both by Dr E.F. Gordon, who is hailed as the father of the organized labour movement of Bermuda.Ms Pindar knew him personally, and had some vivid recollections of dramas she said took place at Beulah, Dr Gordon’s residence, surgery and labour headquarters; and also at Government House when she was in the party accompanying him as a courtesy to present the Governor with a copy of the historic BWA petition he was carrying the next day to London calling on the Secretary of State for the Colonies to send a Royal Commission of Inquiry into the oligarchic governance of Bermuda.The other Drum Major awards went (posthumously) to the late Mrs Dorothea Simons, and received by her husband Gerald and sons; sports administrator Reginald Pearman, received in his absence by MP Terry Lister; Donna Watson for her distinguished performances as a track and field star and subsequently as an administrator. Ms Verneil Simons was also honoured for her many years performing on the entertainment front.
