I know about internet access in TnT. My nephew a medical doctor, had no access for three weeks at a time while being billed $500.00 plus a month, when they "fixed" it, they crossed his line with his mothers, and stillno internet. I had to go down to UWI where a close friend is on the faculty, and use e-mail from his ofice!
On anther note, Rodney Foster informs e that Mrs. Helen Pyne-Timothy, lectuerr in English at Mausica,69-?is stricken with PArkinson's, and is definitely on the wane. One issue he raised was what to do with her extensive collection of books.He was of the impression that neither the National Library nor UWI libarary wanted them. I suggested that maybe the Corinth Teachers'College in the far south, might want them but I am not sure if that is still in existence. Now Theodore Lewis is at the Cirpriani Labour College, as well as a friend of mine who helped launch my secod book-Kwame Nantambu
.Kwame regularly writes on trinicenter.com, so he is easy to contact.
Could someone find out if either of those institutions would be interested in expanding their reading room with Helen's collection?
Young people may not currently appreciate books, what with KIindle, book-DVD's and such,but when the pendulum swings again, old books once owned by a Jamaican scholar, who maried a Trini, and became totally immersed in our culture, may be tremendously appreciated
Helen's e-mail is helenpynetimothy@hotmail.com. She lives in the foorhills of theNorthern Range, in Port-of-Spain.
