Hi Rodney:
I was sorry to hear about the passing of Horse (Leslie Greenidge)..Sunset illa man. I called Sto, who lives in Champs Fleurs, but he was unaware.
Horse was a blue blood Mausican from the 66-68 year group. These passings affect me. I had come to think of the Mausican as indestructible. I still think us to be so.
Is that not the lesson from these Mausica children?
We are finding that they too can sing...and indeed can descant..
The curtains are being drawn on early generations, only to open again...for the Children...
Gwennie reminds us of some of the anchors, .Harry Jo, Daphne Cuffie, Roland Maunday, June Joseph, Fanny Roopchand......add Lance Lougheide, Wilfred Philips (Alisford's old man), Bert Baptiste, Hamlyn Dukhan, Evelyn Hordatt.

Recently I had a great lime with Clyde Ballantyne (Pool) and Lynette Mark.....shooting the breeze about ole times.....During our conversations I solved the puzzle about who was the author of the great Mayfair flood that saw the shoes and other belongings of Frederick Beckles (Beck; Badjohn Teacher Face) floating out of the Mayfair lobby...causing Beck to think, wrongly, that the culprit was a Havenite.....
As I indicated in an earlier post, Beck was so distraught at seeing his belongings floating down the Mayfair corridor that he crossed Fairhaven Square with a cutlass...We in turn, drawing upon vaunted Haven commonsense and agency...and also resorting to prudence...had decided to lock the entrance to our hostel...and also to fortify in defensive posture...
But it appears from the authoritative account I heard from "Pool" that Beck had gone to the wrong hostel in search of the culprit. Remember there were only three, so he really had just two degrees of freedom. But he guessed wrongly. Or did he?
There was also an authoritative, apparently first-hand, account, that men from Haven had been in the washroom of Mayfair that night, and what reason could there have been for Havenites to be in Mayfair washroom after hours? The only thing I can think of there is that they might have gone over there to play brag, with men like Joe Ragoonanan, Jerry Hernandez, McDonald Rodney, Beck, and Gregory Byrne.
Scratchy.
