Background
Information
Born Bahamian/British (Crewe); British education (Stafford - King Edward VI); recruited to educate the then Crown Colony of the Bahamas, which thereafter proceeded to educate him. Before 1973 the British Isles were the furthest 'out' islands of the Bahamas (it's about time we patronised the British).
Married a born- Bahamian lady (Van), who continued his education.
Collaborated with his wife in the production of three sons and various publications for their extended family, in and out of schools.
Became officially Bahamian when the Commonwealth went independent (he couldn't take the heat with all those born-Bahamians in the family).
Writes on a variety of subjects both fiction and non-fiction.
Loves poetry: Its rythms and rhymes are the heart-beats of life; its meanings are condensed emotion 'remembered in tranquillity' (Wordsworth).
Hates poetic affectations: Excuse for bad spelling and bad grammar; convoluted forms and abstruse thinking.
