    Nice HL! Good read.

    Someone in the family should record him telling his stories. I am always fascinated hearing elderly people give first-hand accounts of what life was like in their childhood.

      Yep,always good to hear when they talk,nostalgic history.
      THERE IS ONLY ONE ONANDI LOWE!

      "Good things come out of the garrisons" after his daughter won the 100m Gold For Jamaica.


      "It therefore is useless and pointless, unless it is for share malice and victimisation to arrest and charge a 92-year-old man for such a simple offence. There is nothing morally wrong with this man smoking a spliff; the only thing wrong is that it is still on the law books," said Chevannes.

        You and X may find this article by the great John Maxwell.

            that is what I love about country life in Jamaica. You can sit and reason with the oldsters and learn a lot.

            Respect.

              Good to hear, soak up as much family history as you can & develop a family tree.

                  I worked with a Claude Hewan-Lowe when I worked in Mobay back in the 80s. He must be one of your relatives. Do you know him?
