Hello Nigel,

How are you doing? It was indeed a pleasure to see you guys when you were last in Guyana despite the circumstance.

Say hi to Terry for me.

Dear Mr and Mrs Wong

I love reading your blog and seeing the pictures. Do you have any information on the Pattersons. My dad started at Demba in 1946. He worked as a carpenter, boat builder, some where in the plant and finally in the electrical shop ( I think).

Keep up the good work ans God bless.
Celeste

Dear Mr and Mrs. Wong,

It has been such a pleasure reading this blog, not only because it vividly reminds me of home, but because I was able to see the pictures of people whose names I came to know from my father’s stories. The dashing gentleman in the front row on the far left (next to Mr. Grant) is my beloved father, James Crawford. Thank you for the memories – they mean much to me as his voice was stilled for just over two years ago. I know that he would have had a great story to tell had he been here to see this picture Thanks again!

Best,
Felicity Crawford

Hi John Cush,
Glad to see that you are still keeping an eye on the goings on in Mackenzie. Terry is still living in Germany. It was nice to see you at my dad funeral all those years ago and catching up of the convent.

Dear Joe:

It was a great pleasure to hear from you. I hope your life in the years since I left Mackenzie has been as blessed as mine has been. My best to you always,

Evan

Mr. Wong,

In August 1968, a constable came to my home in Rainbow City and informed me that Mr. Evan Wong had summoned me to “The Office”. As soon as I got to the door of your office you declared “Mr. Bakker you have just crossed over the line from worker to management. You’ve been awarded a Demba Scholarship!” Thanks for being the bearer of those glad tidings and for being such a wonderful inspiration to all of us who has less privileged beginnings.

(I taught your son Evan general science or math in Form 1 at Mackenzie High School – as I recall a brilliant and engaging student)

God bless!

Hi Gill!
Welcome aboard! Your Dad definitely was on the welcoming committee to so many!
Please give your Mum my love. She and Louie are the same age. Mum corresponds with Sheila at Christmas. I suppose, like Helen, you are a granny by now.
I didn’t have children of my own. Into my second marriage after the death of my Hun in 2002, I’m step mother to 8, step grandmother of 17 and step great grandmother of three! Counting both. Yikes! All that I’m only 65 …
Hugs,
Pat

Okay I recognise my late Dad (Rev. Charles Cush), right back row. One time Constable/Sargeant/Inspector of the Demba Constabulary. Then moved up to Properties Inspector before retiring (1973) to full time church work .He was very involved at Christ -the- King Anglican back in the days.
Recognise also Dr. Roza and William Grant. Is that L.E. Ho at left back?
