remembered as a visionary leader and a true patriot who dedicated his life to the service of his
country and its people. I loved the presentation from Mr. price it was a phenomenal experience
and I was admired that he lived his life single, not having a partner beside him and help him,
makes me thing that he was a wise man. Also what I like was that he didn’t think about money he
wanted the best for this country, unlike the ones we have know. None the less if I was, Mr.
George Cadle Price I wouldn’t change anything, why? Because the way he lead this country was
a great way to lead a country like a real leader putting others before yourself and especially “
leading by example”
