So, did you speak with McCartney?
The fisherman being shown in the last few sets of pictures was James, who was a fixture on the Negril Beach and even took a young Senator John Fitzgerald Kennedy and his lovely young bride out on his hand carved canoe. Here are a couple "blasts from the past " on our Negril.com Negril Today pages:
James entertaining some kids in 1997:

Hi Rob,
Is James still alive? I remember him quite well from all my trips to the beach and him selling his shells and starfish, etc... Very pleasant man never a bother to anyone as far as I can remember. Thinking back to the 70's and 80's he must have been 50 years old back then? I used to see him all the time.
John
I think James passed a while back - I last saw him on the beach around 2000....
No, I did not talk to Paul.
I was not going to talk to anyone and just keep walking, but Linda called me over and started asking me questions. I chatted with her for a while, told her where I had been up the beach and where I was headed. Told her where I was from. I told her that her kids were cute. Paul didn't say anything to me, but he listened to what I was telling Linda. I didn't want to bug him. They were on a remote part of the beach, so that told me that they did not want to be bothered and I wanted to respect their privacy and let them enjoy their family vacation.
Here is Franklin working next to the goat pen and A Frame in 1982.

I did not have much money, but Knocky had a wife and a couple little kids so he could have used what little money I did have more than me.
Dinner!
