In loving memory

THE EDITOR:
His name was Selwyn, Nathaniel, Ebenezer, Frederick Beckles.
Most of his friends called him Beck.
But Angela Cato called him Selwyn.
Beck was a well-rounded person,
A true all-rounder excelling in both academ
ics and sports.
An A-student who captained the cricket and    
soccer teams at Mausica Teachers College.
Leader of The Glory Guys, bass singer,
calypsonian,
***t-talker, par excellence and dancero.
Yes, man, meh pardner coulda real dance.
Just ask Bernadette Lacey and Carol Burnett.
Yes, man, he used tuh gimme some tough
competition.
Beck was smooth; bad fuh days.
Winner of the “Dirtiest Sneakers” contest.
He was one of my few friends who owned a
car back in the late sixties.
Don’t ask me the make and model.
It was a small blue car, a matchbox, that took
us to Harry’s in Arima to get refreshments
for ah campus lime.
That used to be real fun.
Thanks Beck for your warm friendship and
the pleasant memories.
It was a pleasure knowing you.
May God continue to bless and comfort your
loved ones:
your mother, Dorrel and the children and you
host of family and friends.
And may you, my dear friend, forever rest in
peace.
