Hello Errol

MUSTS
There are several “Musts” I must do whenever I visit Sweet TNT: kiss up meh mudder and other family members, visit Tunapuna Market and buy pork and beef from Pa Liverpool and his two sons, drink plenty coconut water and suck mango, buy black pudding for meh wife, Marjorie, buy doubles from de “Dancin Doubles Man”, attend church at St Mary’s Anglican Church in Tacarigua and either call or visit Mrs. Cuffie.
By far, one of de most exciting musts is ah visit with Mr. Williams de Warden , Fitzie. At 90 plus, Mr. Williams remains one of the most influential and amazing people in my life. He is a storehouse of knowledge which he is willing to share in his modest style. During my last visit, he informed me that he attended QRC and was also the youngest students to enter Government Teacher’s College in POS. He also knew Sir Ellis Clarke who attended St Mary’s College and rode a racing bike to school. Mr. Williams thinks that a fitting tribute to Sir Ellis Clarke would be a sculpture of a young man riding a racing bike. The caption should read “The Boy Who Became President.”
Mausicans, there are several opportunities available in Trinidad and Tobago. Recording the memories of one of Trinidad and Tobago’s most brilliant educators is one of them. Therefore, my friends, let’s visit the Warden armed with all the modern recording devices. It will be time well spent.
Aye, Marjorie, talkin bout time, look what time it is – one o’clock -. Time tuh sleep. Leave de rest fuh. next time.
