John McHue
It's been some time and I hope it's been rewarding. Your dad is nearing 100, and how to celebrate that might be weighing on you as well.

One possible institution  that can be brought into that recognition is the first St. Ann's Bay Primary School (at 16 Church Street by Davis Street?) that is celebrating its 90th anniversary this year. His name comes up prominently as one of the students who christened the then new school by marching from the Baptist church with their school books. I didn't realize that school building is now a prime structure of our colonial heritage. The louvers look modern, and it's hard to believe they are the original. He must be tired of the queries, but whatever he might wish to share about his time there (and of course one is as interested in the building as in everything else) would be gratefully received.
