Thank you for allowing me to register my objection to the proposed change of name of Corkscrew Hill to Flora Duffy Hill.
I believe “Corkscrew” has unique and historic/landmark significance and, without taking anything away from Ms Duffy’s Olympic gold, I think the parade/motorcade, stadium section renaming for her, Bermuda Post Office stamp recognition, open-air tribute concert and the commissioning of a statue to honour her accomplishment and representation of Bermuda on the world stage should suffice to reflect our feelings of pride and gratitude.
B. CANDACE RAY
