George Manning opposes Josh Beynon as deputy mayor COUNCILLOR Joshua Beynon s recent election as deputy mayor of Pembroke Dock was met with opposition by outgoing mayor George Manning. At Pembroke Dock s annual town council meeting, Cllr Manning interrupted the official vote for the new deputy mayor, saying he felt Joshua Beynon s actions at last year s annual meeting deemed him an unsuitable candidate, and proposed Councillor Gordon Goff as deputy mayor instead. Cllr Manning said: “I would like to ask Cllr Beynon; when he was first elected into council he was not in support necessary of the appointment of mayor and deputy mayor.
When I was there in Vietnam, toward the end, I wanted only to get home again alive. I prayed to God and promised him that I would believe in him and tell everyone about him if only he would allow me to get back home alive. I didn’t want to die there in a strange place on strange ground so far away from home where no one from my past would ever know what had happened to me. I prayed to God and said that he could kill me at the airport in San Diego if wanted, but please, please, not to let me die in Vietnam.
