Glen Christian and wife Marva.

THE Private Sector Organisation of Jamaica (PSOJ) last Wednesday inducted the first truly grassroots businessman, Carimed's Glen Christian's into its hallowed Hall of Fame in an evening of glitz and glamour witnesed by a packed ballroom at the Jamaica Pegasus Hotel in New Kingston. The Glen Christian story is yet another Jamaican best seller.

Glen Christian learnt the art of business at the feet of his mother, Evelyn, one of those hardy rural women who helped build Jamaica from the bottom up. Evelyn Christian religiously took the weekly trek from the farming district of Brandon Hill, Clarendon to the mecca of markets, the Coronation Market in the island's capital. When she couldn't make it, she would send Glen.

Glen Christian & Henry Lowe

LAST Wednesday, two brilliant Jamaican men, standing on platforms just about a mile away from each other, reminded us why we must never give up on our country. Glen Christian, who did not own a pair of shoes until he was 13 years old, was inducted into the Private Sector Organisation of Jamaica Hall of Fame at the Jamaica Pegasus hotel. And, Dr Henry Lowe, whose mother related to us the early struggles of her family, launched seven new pharmaceutical products derived from Jamaican ganja at his own exquisite Eden Gardens property on Lady Musgrave Road.
