THE 85year old man described in the article is me uncle .. My mother' brother.  He lived in the states for a while and all his children are  university grads professional people  . He is divorced from his  wife of many years . His ex wife is now hooked up with Googs former teacher  in Florida. A  Mr . Bha.....y
Quite a character , When he went back to Guyana a cousin of mine hooked him up with a lady from Blackbush Polder in lieu  of a loan that he couldn't repay  , Was a hard working woman and together they farmed ten acres of prime land that he owned , It was all cash crop vegetables  especially Poi  Bhagee  Bigaan  Bora and Hot peppers .  Market stall holders would come and reap , pick the crops and pay accordingly.
Alas the Lady passed away a while back and after an appropriate period of mourning  ,  me 85 year uncle got himself another woman equally industrious... Very happy man
