Synopsis
“In these my years of retirement I have thought it necessary to put together my memories in this book representing the connections and missing links in our recent history.”
Pat Callender's narrative takes us back to Pre-Independence Barbados with its thriving sugar industry and pioneers in business and politics; to post-World War II & post-Independence political turbulence; and shifting international powers. A lot can happen in a small place.

À propos de l'auteur
Pat Callender was employed as a primary school teacher in Barbados, after which he joined the Air Traffic Control staff at Seawell Airport, the forerunner of Grantley Adams International Airport and thereafter was appointed airport manager, serving in that capacity from 1977 to 2000. He received his aircraft pilot’s training at the Barbados Light Aircraft Club. He is now retired and ranks fishing and playing the piano among his many hobbies. In this book he reveals little known details about the Cubana aircraft disaster of 1976 and about events leading directly to the death of Prime Minister Maurice Bishop of Grenada and the consequent intervention of US armed forces in 1983.
