Under his unparalleled leadership as Premier and then Prime Minister in the PAM/NRP Coalition Government, St. Kitts and Nevis made innumerable social and economic strides and was the front-runner, not only in the Eastern Caribbean, but in some respects the entire Latin America/Caribbean region at large.
