This week I sat down and talked with one of my dear Brethren, B. B, and I grew up in the heart of West Kingston. We attended Saint Anne's Infant, Primary, and Secondary schools before attending Saint Andrew Technical High school.

We played on the 1977 Secondary School's Football Championship team for St. Anne's, then represented Saint Andrew Technical High School (STATHS) from 1978 to 1979. November 1980, I graduated from STATHSi.
