Hello. My communication here pertains to the entry for St. Elizabeth Technical High School. There are a few errors in the article that I'm asking you to correct; I am a signed-up Wikipedia editor but I would rather contact you first before changing anything myself.

The prime issue pertains to the first change of principals, captured by this sentence: "In 1966, E. G. Roper left to take up a position as Headmaster at Kingston Technical High School and was succeeded by J.C. Wray." The succession is correct but the date is wrong. I am a past student of the school, namely the batch of 1965-1969, and upon entry on Monday 13-Sep-1965, Mr Jasper C. Wray was the principal; we never saw Mr Roper at all. The ending date of 1970 is correct, based on the common knowledge at the time; Mr Wray was succeeded by our vice principal, Mr Pottinger, the year after we departed the school.

I see that you linked "www.steths.org" as the "Official website" (under "External links" at the bottom) which may be the source of this error. Unfortunately, that site is down at the moment so I cannot verify; I will write the school. But if you could, please edit this or give me permission to do it.

The other major error comes under "Notable alumni" with the very first entry being "Horace Burrell, President of the Jamaica Football Federation". Not true at all. The late Major Horace Burrell, a personal friend of mine from our Cadet days, attended Clarendon College and only came to StETHS as a teacher in about 1970. The other people listed under the heading may indeed deserve the accolade (I am familiar only with Darren Powell* and Shericka Williams of the lot), but even just from my batch there are at least two men whose lives' works demand a presence in the group. They are Edmund Bartlett, long-time top JLP man and currently Minister of Tourism (for maybe the third time), and Donald Mullings who taught at StETHS after graduating from university and then went on to found M&M Engineering, the largest heavy equipment and civil engineering company in Jamaica.
 * And BTW, if Darren Powell makes it, why not Jerome Taylor, and maybe even Brenton Parchment?

A rather minor edit I would ask for too is the school's abbreviation. In my days we wrote it as "StETHS" with the first tee in miniscule since it is not the initial letter of a word. But I notice that nowadays most people don't adhere to that anymore.

Thanks for your time and I hope you'll address my concerns, or at least get back to me. You may choose to reply to me via e-mail at AckeeEater@gmail.com. Either way, I'll appreciate it. Respects.
