You know - it is such a small world! When in 1970 or thereabouts the Alumni Choir went to Jamaica and Antigua and the Christina on its way from Antigua to Nevis sank. I joked that I could have been on that boat because I was thinking of fulfilling my life long dream of visiting Nevis and going over there from Antigua. He responded that he too could have been on that boat. Then I remembered his aunt who lived with him and her surname was Small and she was from Nevis as my grandmother whose surname was also Small. It is to my eternal regret that on one of my visits to her with other students I did not take the opportunity to question her because back then I did suspect that there was a connection so I asked him who were the relatives he wanted to visit in Nevis? His reply was - the Smalls and the Byrons who are the same ones I wanted to visit. I did speak to Mt Williams about it recently and it turns out that we are indeed related. As Johnny Mathis did say/sing - Small world isn't it!!!!!

So, so wonderful Maria!

Visiting Dr. Williams is always a joy. The topic of  conversation is invariably about Mausica and his reminiscences are proof of a remarkable memory at age 99.

God's willing, we look forward to Mr. Williams's 100th. birthday.

Hope to visit Mrs. Cuffie soon.

This wall was the subject of our conversation about Mausica.  He also said that he reads without glasses. He uses glasses only when he had to write. I looked at Mr Williams in awe. Maria

Went to see Mr Williams and took copies of my books for him. Spent sometime with him. He did remember Maria Mora. Of course, he remember a young man who was "President, wasn't he?" Of course it was Noel T. Duncan and he asked about Fou, said that they were like his sons. He took care of them as sons. There was a wall opposite him designed with those slate type stones. He asked me if I knew what was behind there. Then he said those were used in Mausica. There was another wall behind me and he pointed to them and said 'those are more modern." Really amazing man.

RE: Cassava and Wine!

2016-JUL-16-2043Hrs

My Fellow Mausicans,

Last Wednesday evening, July 13th, Marj and I shared some wine with our  celebrated Mausican, Havenite Brother, Efebo Wilkinson.

Efebo and Lucille were visiting their daughter, Karma,  and her family in Lawrenceville, GA. It was a most enjoyable evening. Efebo and I had red wine and the ladies sipped white.

Efebo informed me that Bitter Cassava received rave reviews and he appreciated the presence and support of the Mausicans who attended the play.

Next time Marj and I visit Sweet, Sweet TNT, we will be wearing our treasured gifts:  Bitter Cassava T-shirts.

Another Mausican making a contribution here in Atlanta is Alan Simpson, de man from Grande. He is deeply involved in the Memorial Day Carnival and the Trinidad and Tobago Association of Georgia.  At the Family day picnic, Alan had the children and adults participating in 50 yd race,  bag race, egg and spoon, needle and thread and windball cricket. Everybody had a good time.

I was holding the rope at the finish line.

Sincere condolences to the bereaved.

Let's continue "Living The Legacy".

As usual,

My sincere condolences to The Mausica family as well as the relatives on Megan's passing?. I still remember her pleasant smile. She gave me a recipe for cheese straws which I always use when I am having a lime. She will always be remembered. May she rest in peace and rise in glory.

RE: Sister Ivy Pacheco

2016-JUN-29-0853Hrs

I attended the graduation ceremony of St. Xavier's Private RC school a week ago here at home. At the helm of this school is Sister Ivy Pacheco who is a Mausican 72-74.  Sr Ivy entered the Convent in 1976. She taught at Maracas RC, St. Pius Boys'RC and Moruga RC before leaving for St. Vincent in 1991. She spent 22 years there where she retired as the Principal of St. Mary's RC. On her return, she took up the challenge to head St. Xavier's.

The Chairperson for the graduation ceremony was Mrs Susan Weekes Perryman (graduate of '72). I also saw Mrs Beulah Redhead fulfilling the supportive granny role.

Some of us are still out there in the vineyard.
