That's the famous Brimsley!
NegrilIrene,
I don't know Piggymon other than his thread on Negril.com so I can't help there, sorry! Maybe you can start a thread on here asking about him??
As far as the 70's in Negril goes it was a laid back time and fairly inexpensive at that, lot's of camping and staying with families as there were few hotels early on. My first visit was in 1975 for two weeks in April. After that it was several times a year my longest stay was a month long visit.
Hope this helps,
John
Gman as Bnewb says that is Brimsley. After the Villas I'm not sure where he went, perhaps others know. Great guy!!!
Brimsley was the main bartender at Roots Bamboo for years in the 90's-00's, and the last place I saw him working was at Canoe for their anniversary party!
Brimsley is the man!
Negril.com - For the vacation that never ends!
great memories . first trip 1974. i stayed a few houses as you were facing grandma porteds to the right red ground and were called old pal cottages. ms pernell, uncle dan , dalton and family,. we still see patrick ms. pernells son. i long for those days
I, too, stayed in Red Ground at Miss Pernells. The days of no electricity, outdoor showers and bathrooms. Meals with the family. Such great memories. I was there in January of 1974 for 6 weeks. We returned for a few years and knew the family well. I think the price was 5$/night. I walked up that way last reach, the road is different. I wish I would have seen Patrick, Dalton was 16 when we first visited. We ended up at Miss Pernells because Grandmas didn't have any rooms left. We always had the room by the porch. What a great flashback! I'm going to dig for pictures.
Remember walking the beach and not seeing anyone?! No buildings, just a beautiful, pristine beach. Those were the days!
