O knihe

This book started out primarily as a children's story book, documenting

stories told to me by my mother, followed by my own true life stories from

which, later in life, I drew many spiritual conclusions and comparisons.

I was reluctant to let them go undocumented as they held for me such

meaning and pleasant memories.

As I progressed in recounting the incidents, which are all true, I was obliged

to include some historical facts and physical setting in British Guiana as a

backdrop to the stories. In retrospect, being raised by the whole community

in a British Colony, knowing that the discipline enforced by the elders was

engendered by love in an effort to pass on to us the best they knew makes

us aware that our heritage is rich indeed. On the walls of the Methodist

School in Friendship Village this verse, which was clearly visible to all

students, captured the sentiments of the teachers and village elders as they

encouraged us to reach for the stars:

Good, Better, Best

Never let it rest,

Until your good is better

And your better, best.

ANON

It also seemed natural for me to write about what I knew best - my family.

The writing for me was effortless as the information simply flowed freely. I

hope that this book reawakens some of the precious memories of yesteryear,

and also allows the next generation a peek into the past, dispelling the myth

that we lead boring lives before the advent of television and video games.

Happy Reading.
