OMG. I am reading this news only now, Cain. With your tacit consent I wish to pay my tribute here. Your cousin Dereck Gonsalves and myself were classmates in Central High School from 1962 to 1964. I didn't see him again until 1974. We renewed our friendship and kept it going until he emigrated from Guyana in the early 1980s. Thanks to you we reconnected on the Internet a few years ago. He wanted to see me in person but I explained him that my illness couldn't make it possible. We shared memories of our high school interest in books. He then recommended one of his favourite authors, Lee Child. I decided to read a Lee Child novel. I am glad I did. Please accept my condolence, Cain, on behalf of Dereck's family. And thanks a million for informing me.

Sorry for your loss.Cain. 

BTW, hubby has cousins by the same last name.  They lived on Hadfield Street ... 

Thanks Gilly.

Hi IGH, you peeping in. I dont recall knowing any by that name around there . If memory is intact I would say that is the road behind the cathedral.

Gilly, the banna went to the dr and had a clean bill of health prior to clocking out. No wonder I doan make it a habit going to doctors.

You have to be honest with your doctor and let him know the physical changes you notice. The doctor told me everything sounds and looks good. I told him bluntly, "I don't think so". Shit happened when I was sent for a further test.

He got a clean bill of health probably because the doctor didn't order tests that related to his heart. I am just guessing.

Thanks Anta. No he isn't that guy.
