My Fellow Mausicans

I was there too on that historical night....at midnight on August 30th when the red white and black was raised.

I can’t remember much, but as a proud member of the Trinidad & Tobago Cadet Force, I was on duty on Abercomby Street, in front of where 6.10 Radio was located. I was dressed in my starched uniform, boots with the tip shining for so. In those days we wore short pants with tall socks and a band skillfully wrapped around the ankle. If I remember correctly we had our rifles too……and one thing of which I’m proud is that I never fainted on any parade.

Thank you, Dr. Eric Williams for making possible my education at St. Mary’s College and eventual attendance at Mausica Teachers College.

History cannot be changed.
