Dallas was so impressed with what he saw, that he not only commended the members for the wonderful work that they are doing but promised that he will be back, keep in touch and go out his way to promote the Hall of Fame wherever he goes.
The institution reminded him of a room, Hardy House, that they had at the school (KC) when he was a student there which was equipped with a number of artifacts, pictures, books and other memorabilia that would give one a true history of the early days at the school and of some of its students who turned out to be successful members of their communities. “It is something that I would like to see revived at the school,” he said.
One of the individuals who is involved in the installation of lights at Jamaica’s famous cricket ground, Sabina Park, to accommodate the Caribbean Premier League, Dallas who has a great interest in helping with the development and improvement of the game in the Caribbean, held a lengthy discussion with the institution’s director Michael Chambers, who encouraged him to try to set up a professional competition in Jamaica. “This is what the region needs in order to get the West Indian team back to being one of the top and well respected teams in the world again,” Chambers told him.
