He did a good job apart from his tendency to use obtuse language.
When he was national security minister he was less than successful so on that performance he should be judged...
He was one of the senior PNP figures who opposed the selection of Portia, and he unleased some memorable barbs at her...and they turned out to be true...
I recall his son or nephew commuted an illegal act with a firearm...and when the white person involved as the victim the nephew abused the victim in a manner similar to a Blutirade...and used the term do u know who I am? He also threatened the doctor with deportation.... Course the lad never got punished and the mans visa wasn't renewed so the case was never resolved...
I have a less than unbiased attitude to him based on some indirect involvement.. …
But no doubt u will need to consult our expert, as u usually say when I make any statement...Last edited by Wahalla; 03-04-2014, 12:01 PM.

I guess I have to temporarily unblock Wahalla. I have had to do it a few times as he has the answers to most of my questions.
Anyway, come tell me about Starboy. RichD says he is from St. Elizabeth. My Mom thinks his aunt used to teach at Bethlehem. Is that true. She behaved normally not like him.How come im talk so broad.

Thank you, thank you thank you.
My mom will be thrilled to see this. The article doesn't say if she is KD Knight's aunt but it does say this:
Eat, drink and be merry”. Laughing heartily, 98 year old Millicent Knight OD, educator extraordinaire and a former Headmistress of Westwood High School declared that this was her formula for a long healthy life.
I had not seen this great Jamaican for over half a century, but when I phoned her at the nursing home where she now lives, I was absolutely surprised at how young and vigorous she sounded. Presumptuously I asked he if she remembered me (I gave her my maiden name). No she replied hesitantly, and then added quickly “Are you related to Collector Marshall?” When I told her he was my late father, She quickly replied “Oh yes, he did have a rude little daughter who used to swing on the gate”. Sheepishly, I admitted to having been the culprit but quickly added that I was now over sixty.
All my life I had regarded this great educator with awe as did almost everyone in Stanmore, Malvern and the environs. For guess what, I remember it being whispered every time she appeared that she had been the first black girl to attend the prestigious Hampton Girls School (best known at the time for its elitism at and racism). We kids, I am reminded by my brother, even used to speculate that she would have had to powder her skin to get into Hampton!
Everyone spoke about her brilliance and as a child I used to watch her stroll up the aisle of the Bethlehem Moravian Church to play the piano and I was always enthralled at how this staid and circumspect looking person became full of life the moment the music got to her.
Millicent Knight, the first child and only girl of seven children, was born in Stanmore in St. Elizabeth and went to St. Albans Primary school before attending Hampton School. According to her, she cannot remember a day when she did not want to follow in the footsteps of her parent and become a teacher. So brilliant was she that on graduating from Hampton High School in 1930, she immediately went to Bethlehem Training College to teach English and Maths to students older than herself.
While there she did an intermediate BA as an external student then later traveled to the University of Toronto to complete her studies.
After graduation, she again returned to teaching at Bethlehem and was soon promoted to the post of Vice Principal. Her next move was to St. Hilda’s Girls School in Brown’s Town, St. Ann before moving on in 1965 to become Headmistress of Westwood High School in Stewart Town. Coincidentally, Westwood was established in 1880 to give coloured girls the opportunity to get higher education.

You are off ignore for now but please...not more attacks.Your information is just too valuable to be missed. You have answers to just about every question I ask. The one RichD was not able to help me when I asked him about this in the chatterbox.
Anyway, I have posted more questions about Big Youth so I hope that you will oblige me with an answer. Once again.
