Reply to "FYI -Rohan Kanhai"

The last time me see Rohan Kanhai in person, was at a social event at Albion Community Centre[Sports Complex]in the 1960s . The place  had only one building at that time, which is now named after cricketer Jack Shivnarine from Belvedere, Albion. Additional buildings and flood lights were later erected around the cricket field.

Jack is the brother of my late friend Ron. He lives in New York with his own and extended family and involved with the yearly Albion reunion. 

Until recently, the Berbice Fair was held at Albion Sports Complex, but vehicles damage the field and pitch. So after a long haul, the fair was moved.  

Albion produced some good cricketers like Versammy[Michael] Permaul and they still have a vibrant cricket club.   

In 1988, at a Indo-Caribbean historical conference held at York university in Toronto. Many cricketers were invited to the banquet, who signed my book about cricketers, published by Hanslib [sp] in London. At this conference a famous photo was taken of Cheddi Jagan and Sash Shaw together, who hosted Cheddi's visit to Toronto.
