"That must be true in Quest's case, as in 1972 he and fellow students prevented a young politician by the name of PJ Patterson from being attacked by an angry mob.
Patterson, he said, was in a Westmoreland community at the same time that a Jamaica Labour Party motorcade was passing through.
"I was the first one at the car door and I took a machete and told them (the mob) they had to kill me first," Quest recalled.
Hortense Evans, then principal of New Hope All-Age in Culloden, Whitehouse, Westmoreland, where Quest was a student, said she was told by the teachers how Quest and the other children shielded Patterson, who later became Jamaica's longest-serving prime minister, having held the office from 1992 to 2006."
Then again maybe we should see who would have taken PJ place....
LOL !
