Gill,I remembered the logies visiting Leonora,one was placed "as a rememberance" in Leonora compound  where the colonial manager lived,everytime i passed by there i wished i could live that high life with their nice houses sport courts,bar and pool,i would say to my self this son of a sugar plantation worker  will be rich one day to enjoy such a life,and so it happened.

I had a drink at the bar in that Compound a few years after the Colonials left,oh boy i felt elated.

South of Uitvlugt Estate Junior Staff Compound there were logies up to 1960. My father's sister [puwa], her husband and children lived in one. In 1957 and 1958 my mother sent me there to spend school vacations with my cousins. The road from the Junior Staff Sports Club near the side-line dam led to the logies. There was a small school named Kelowna Canadian Mission School. One evening a 5-feet-long alligator crawled out of a trench [called thakoorbari] in front of Sugrim's shop and Sugrim shot it dead in the head. After 1960 the logie residents dispersed to Uitvlugt Pasture, Ocean View, De Willem etc.

This is not personal, sir. My protest thread received responses from both sides of the isle. No one owns a thread on GNI. Am I not supposed to make comment on your thread?

Tola,bhai experience in life is always in our memory,i say a little more about the drink at the bar.After i finished school i could have gotten a teaching gob,did not want that or any government gob.So i went to GT,stayed at one my cousin,worked at at my aunt wholesale grocery store,and other jobs.My cousin left GT so i went back home and worked in the Sugar Industry as a field worker,i kinda don't like bosses over my head,i became a GAWU representative for the casual gang,i was with the negotiating team to meet the manager for settling a price dispute.

Any way after a few years i quit Sugar Industry gob and with the guidance of a good friend,i studied Electronics a job i loved and was good at it,the same manager i met when i was the GAWU rep,sent his driver requesting me to fix his VCR he remembered me after a little chat, after finishing the gob and got paid,he said ok let go have a drink that is how i was able to sit at the same counter where the white masters sit,as i said i felt elated.

Django, bhai good memories  about how our lives and career evolved. My wireless communication career was influenced when a female military pen-friend in England,  sent me  a 1965 wireless diary. I was already into communications at Albion and was fascinated to work on a ship as radio officer to see the world, which I did. This is a book by itself, include miss being shot by  a policeman at Zagreb airport, on my way to see my drinking buddies in London.   

A friend in  NY yesterday sent me a link to some 1960 songs,  that triggered me writing three page stories about the memories and adventures during  our teenage years at Albion. Some real funny stuff, that I might post.  After being shot accidentally on the left arm by my friend.  I am still trying to figure why a young female nurse in hospital took my body temperature in my crotch area. As a teenager with many sexual fantasies, this was utter torture.  

During my restrictive years  from  the managers compound, a British soldier  that I knew thru working at Albion, took me for a beer one evening to the  senior staff club. Other than the barman, I was the only other coloured person present, with many stares by  the managers, but no one asked me to leave.

The soldier father was German and mother British. He was a young guy they called Little Hitler. He once asked me about hookers at Rose hall Town, close to where they were staying at Port Mourant.  At that time I knew they were called whore-houses. My friends went, but I was too chicken. They once encouraged me to go with a seven month pregnant hooker, because the price was right, but it looked like she did not have bath for a week. Picky guy !!

After he left Guyana, I wrote him in England about his experience at Rose Hall with the whore-house and his mother replied  saying ' For your information, THEY ARE CALLED BROTHELS'.

I never heard from him again, but I took a few photos of him that I might publish in the upcoming book, while telling stories of my interaction with British soldiers in the 60s.

I read that you might have lived at a place on the WCD, where there was an old Catholic church, replace in the 60s with a new one. It might have been close or across the public road from your place. I know that place well and have quite a few photographs of the sea wall in that area, taken in the 60s.

Gil and kp, you might know that a Canadian town in British Columbia is called Kelowna. I wrote about attending Albion Canadian Presbyterian Mission school and searched their archives in Toronto. Regarding the challenges by plantation managers wanting to close the schools, because they did not want educated children.

Do you know if this school is linked with Kelowna, British Columbia and whether the mission was Presbyterian ?    

Tola,i know the Catholic Church i can vividly remember the old one,is it the one in Hague?

I love your story bhai lots of laugh the one about the hooker.

Yes Django....I have  photos of the old church  and part of my teenage story is about that area.

If you think that stuff is funny, wait till I post the teenage years story.  Six guys had a wonderful time, entertaining each other. I am still trying to understand how we survived all the risky stuff, but we had fun.

Unfortunately, two are buried in Virginia and New York, while others live in London, NY, Toronto and myself. I don't see them often enough and most have health issues, but the memories are still strong. We laugh  a lot on the phone and cry sometimes, because too many people we know are no longer around.

Sometimes I wish I were a little bit older, so I could have recorded the older people's stories.

I do so now, but not many are around any more. I am being given a trip to India later this year, for video recording and photographing a Punjabi/Hindu wedding at short notice, for those unable to attend from India. I hope to learn more about my family background.   

I do  lot of documentation, including stories in time capsules about my family's  history. I am the first to arrive in Canada from my family and our children are intermarrying into Celtic and Russian backgrounds.

I believe its important to document our Guyanese family history for their future generations. As our ancestors went from India to Guyana, many of us made similar moves to other countries and our children might have little knowledge about our life in Guyana, unless we record it.

To be honest I never cared whether or not celebrations were held because I saw a country go from beautiful to ugly then for a short time it seemed to pick up suddenly it took a dive during the previous Govt. This is the first time I would actually acknowledge the celebration because I have a positive feeling Guyana could be finally taking a turn for the better.

"The Guyana Presbyterian Church was a fruit of the Presbyterian Church in Canada. In 1880 Rev. John Morton a Canadian missionary from Trinidad and Tobago visited British Guyana and recommended to start mission outpost there. The Canadian Presbyterian Church sent Rev. John Gibson to work in Demerara County. The first congregation was the Burns Memorial Presbyterian Church in 1885 to serve the Indian population in Georgetown, Guyana.^[1] After his death Rev J. B. Cropper took over the mission in 1895, he spoke fluent Hindi and worked among the Indians in the plantations. Until 1945 the church worked among Indians. Schools and churches were established. A presbytery was formed in 1945 as the Canadian Presbyterian Church in British Guyana. In 1961 the name changed to Guyana Presbyterian Church. It adheres to the Apostles Creed, Nicene Creed and the Westminster Confession of Faith. It had 2,500 members in 44 congregations and 44 house fellowships.^"

^{NOTE: Rev John Gibson was a graduate of Knox College, Toronto. There was a Knox Presbyterian Church in Kelowna BC.}

"The Guyana Presbyterian Church was a fruit of the Presbyterian Church in Canada"

A fruit of the church eh..hehe

Knox college on the U of T campus is their archives. I once spent a week going through files, while attending the Indo-Caribbean conference at York. I was looking for photographs  and found some interesting information regarding challenges, to keep the schools open.
