The book is an appreciation of the life and times of a man whose 98 years of life spanned parts of both the 19th. and 20th. Centuries, beginning life as a British colonial subject and ending as a proud son of an independent nation - Dominica. Throughout his long life he served his community and country as a college-trained headmaster, farmer and politician, with a disciplined integrity, passion and commitment that clearly set him apart. His ideas were humane and some uncannily prophetic yet accurate in their outcome. The Author believes that his life and that of countless similar contributors to society should be chronicled.
