Former Editor of the Voice Newspaper Passes

Was it something he said? Former Voice editor Guy Ellis (left) can hardly contain himself as STAR publisher Rick Wayne typically holds forth from his seat at the NWU’s 45th anniversary celebration.

Caribbean Business Report – The media fraternity is in mourning today, as we’ve lost a giant in the news business – Guy Ellis, former editor of the Voice Newspaper  and also the Mirror newspaper and correspondent for many international news organisations – including the Caribbean News Agency, The Associated Press and Reuters. 

He was also the co-author of  A HISTORY OF ST. LUCIA, probably the island’s most extensive history research project. A book that certainly should be in the schoolbag of every secondary school student, and also in every home and office. 

When I met Guy Ellis at the supermarket about two weeks ago, he spoke about  the many years of work that went into the book, co-authored by Robert Devaux and Jolien Harmsen, and lamented his exhaustive efforts to get that text into the school system!

You should get a copy, in tribute to Guy Ellis. It’s on Amazon, and as he told me when I informed him that I was reading it, he teased that the last 50 years of St. Lucia’s history is the most fascinating!
