    I live in England and I did some volunteering at a old home in the summer and there were many old white people there his age who couldn’t walk, talk, shower cook or anything and were completely bed bound. They must eat really good food and drink good water in Jamaica.

He reminds me of my very own father, Sir Isaac Alexander Robinson of Grange Hill, Westmoreland who still runs his farm at the age of 84. Mr.Brewster's faith in God along with his wisdom for discernment has allowed to make wise choices under the most difficult of unimaginable circumstances.They also call my father, *Pappa-Son* God bless you continuously Mr. Brewster.

    First off slavery ended in the 1830s. The Morant Rebellion took place in 1865 and was a protest started by Rev Paul Bogle because of poverty, high taxes, poor living conditions and high taxes. The problems were worsened by a flood.. My dad was born in 1914, 12 years before him, and had no experience with any slaves. Not even my grand parents who were born in the late 1800s had any slave experiebce. His experience is when Jamaica was under British rule and people were fighting for better working conditions for people who worked in the cane fields. This started the Trade Union movement which eventually fought for self rule and towards independence. He seems to be a nice man and is doing very good for his age. May God continue to bless him.

It's amazing how healthy he looks for age 94. He's not even sitting down. He remembers Hurricane May of 17th August 1951. My mother remembered that day too. At the moment, parts of Jamaica are in turmoil with poverty and violence. I hope that it changes to become a more gentler Jamaica; a Jamaica which was relayed to me by my parents.

    What a dear old man .. growing up in England I have been lucky enough to know plenty of old (and young ) Jamaicans .. when my parents moved abroad it was a few old Jamaicans and bonafide Rastas that helped and guided me with my young family and my work and business etc I have to mention one man in particular from St Pauls Bristol Know to everyone as Bigger or Uncle Dick RIP I loved that man and he guided me well as he did so many others . I just had to share that and Mr Brewster is right love and unity is the only solution .

    this interview reminds me of my grandmother when she was alive. She was a great story teller and i am glad i use to always worry her to tell me stories of the past even when others think i was been too bothersome to her. That was in the 80s to early 90s and i was just a preteen between 12 to 15 years, but even then i could see the significance of getting hold of such history. My grandmother was born in 1905 and she died in 1991 at age 86.she was the mother of my mom. up until her last few weeks, she was strong in will, had a powerful memory and a very robust voice. she however could not walk very well because of a stroke that took away her mobile skills in her left side a long time ago before i was born so i grow up knowing her walking with a stick. as she ages she also started to have poor eye sight because of glaucoma. to share her stories with us would always light her up with a warm feeling, but of all her 9 grandchildren (all brothers and sisters) i was the only one always asking to hear these stories but everyone would gather round to hear them. and to this day i am still the only one that keep them sacred. my dads mother is still alive, she will be 91 this year. she did raised me when i was a child and from her i learned the skills of life, but she was not the one to sit and have conversations with children. she was a skinny little strict christian woman who rules with the power of the whip and i learn to fear and love her at the same time. she now lives in New York and i also lives in New York but sadly when i go to visit her she doesn't speak much of the past and she gets tired easily when she talk too long, so not history from her to be had. but i learned a treasure trove of skills and life lessons growing up with her as a child between ages 6 to 12.
