seignet posted:John passed away? Is this the same guy that lived opposite Ramkumar's shop?
I was born in Albion, to be exact Albion Front. Moved away for 15 years. Visited the logies during those years from time to time.
At 15, I returned to attend Bookers Training Centre and I lived close by John. It was an unfamiliar place with no friends, not too long after John and I started to exchanged comic books. I would go by his house for hours.
If that is the John, sorry to hear of his spassing.
Yes Seignet, unfortunately it is the same John Dharmalall Gopaul that lived diagonally from you, across from Ramkuar shop.
At one time John had asked me to photographs a Muslim man across the street from your house. The photo was with him in a hammock and I don't fully understand the relationship, maybe a memorable friendship. Chedda use to live at this house.
I have some photos taken with DEO who lived on the same street block as you, on the opposite side of the street, about middle, attending Bookers Sugar Estates training centre at PM. Deo also passed on in Toronto. The photos were taken at the BSE sign in front of the training centre. What year did you attend BSE training centre ?
I believe two brothers from Albion Front also attended BSE training centre and later moved to Northern Alberta. I knew them well, but lost contact. The back of their house was facing Albion Multiples [Community Centre] and they had a small pedestrian bridge in front to cross the trench to their house.
I am in touch with Ramkumar's daughter Chandra in the US. Her husband Ron parents at one time, owned the rice mill at Rose Hall Town lemonade factory street, where Gafoor Home Supplies is now located.
Ramoo funeral home is located in the cemetery on the right hand side , as well as a family who built a house there.
On the left is a Muslim cemetery where Albion contractor Nabi, his wife and daughter are buried, also my school mate Guss Nabi , who was shot in Guyana.
Before his death, I had dinner at the Pegasus with Guss's son and other friends. He is staying low, because they were not sure why Guss was killed.
What years did you live at Belvedere, I cam overseas in 1967 and returned for my first visit in 1970/71.
