Here's my journal from our visit in 2010 after 24 years:
First stop was Barry from Miss Gloria’s yard……..
Nice place used to a part of the yard and Miss Gloria left it three of them so Barry has the middle part of the yard…winding paths through the rooms…a small inner courtyard ..some tables and about 6 guys sittin' around....
I ask is Barry here?...one guy points to the guy sitting next to where I'm standing (what does this white boy want?)
I turn around he stands up ...my gawd it just the same he looks like him and he says I look like..."Man you look just the same".....we do a manly hug and start chattin' in patois..memories..who's dead..who's still here..who went foreign...nice visit..
He was really happy to see Miss G...you used to help him with school..........
...Now the other guys really can't figure what is going on..he introduces me and Miss G ...we say "more time"
............................we move on
