Do include the following with attachment in the next blog
It was such a joy to attend last Saturday's Mausica Zoom meeting at which there were two main highlights viz. the Proposed Mausica Teachers' College Scholarship Award Programme; and the tribute to the much celebrated Pioneer Desmond Waite who has just transitioned.
I fully support the Scholarship Award Programme and this has led me to my MTC archives.
Attached is the memorable document In Memoriam service to our first esteemed College Principal Mr. Harry Joseph (HarryJo) who led a Teacher Education team including the incomparable Daphne Pilgrim Cuffie, Roland Maundy, Fitzjames Williams, June Joseph, Hamlyn Dookhan, Fanny Roopchand, Wilfred Phillips, Ralph Douglass, Matron, Ishiah Boodhoo, and Evelyn Hordatt.
We owe a debt of gratitude to these pioneering Teacher Educators led by Harry Jo who imprinted on our year group 1967 - 1969: 'You cannot teach them (learners), if you do not love them' ... a mantra that so many of us chanted throughout our teaching careers, and generally in life.... '
Let's see the MTC Scholarship Award Programme as a 'love' tribute to Mausica, acknowledging how our personal and professional identity has been shaped.
Bring back the ole times days.... bring back the ole time ways.....!! (Richard Nappy Mayers)
