Favorite memories of Saints

I have many memories of St. Stanislaus College, and perhaps the one that left an indelible impression on my mind was my 1^st encounter with the Principal, Fr. Brian Scannell S.J., in August 1948. He assured me that my father’s decision to forego my County Scholarship to Queen’s College was a wise one and that I would not regret the relocation to Saints. I made life-long friends during my student days (1948-1955), and was influenced by the Jesuits on the staff and a few of my contemporaries to enter the Jesuit Novitiate in UK in September 1955.

Why the Barbados Alumni Association is important to me

The Barbados Alumni Association is important for me, because I was a founder member in 1995, and have served as President, Secretary and now as Ass. Sec. after the AGM held on October 31, 2008. My departure from Guyana in 1980 and relocation to Barbados was very abrupt, since I left incognito and was on the Black List at the airport until I was advised by insiders that it was safe to return in 1989. I travelled on a Barbados Passport.

I have tried to assist our Alma Mater and to help Chapters in Toronto, Barbados, NYC, Antigua, UK and elsewhere, as well as Alumni in Guyana.

I hope that I can continue to operate as a link with Chapters worldwide, due in part to my past contacts with their members and the many visits I have made to Guyana since I returned in 1989.
