Kim, we saw Collin the second week of July, he was fine. Betty had brought him some new sandals, I brought him some seeds, and bought yet another hanging bird. He was staying at the same spot on the beach were Jah B's (Herbie's) store use to be. Birdman is working on his glass bottom boat there, anyone who walks by Rooms on the Beach could ask about him and reply here. I will be going down next month, seeing him is always at the top of my must do list.
Thank you Kim/Betty . We have talked 2-3 times week for over a decade. Inexplicably, I haven't heard from him since we talked, after he had moved back to Bread Nut Walk, maybe 4 months ago. Even when his phone was hit by lightening, he still found another phone from which he called me and let me know that. He had a working phone when we last talk, and I put minutes on it each month. I am beside myself with worry, as there is no reason at all I have not heard from him. Please give him my number again, in the event that his phone/my number have been lost. (828)290-0210. We have been the love of each other's lives for nearly 20 years. I am praying every day to hear that he is safe and sound.
Thank you, thank you and Bless you for your response. Please feel free to call me if you have/get any additional information.
One Love,
Kim

Kim - I am happy you were able to track each other down, and hope all is well with your Mom. I know what it is like to be stressed with family medical problems. This is a big weekend/Monday for our family - my nephew is donating a kidney to his father with surgery scheduled for this Monday. Once I know all is well, I will be able to plan my next trip to JA (hopefully for a couple of months this winter - retirement is great for having available time).
Cheers

PS Love your board name - for any newbies "Pootoos" in patois roughly translates to "little darling".
Bud, my thoughts and prayers go out to your family. The power of prayer can NOT be underestimated. Collin and I began calling each other "Pootoos" (no Earthly idea how to spell it), but yes "Darling/Sweetheart," many moons ago. We just shortened it to "Poots" for convenience. Collin told me he did see one gyal pon di beach wah luk jus like me, and he almost called out to her "Poots?", but alas, she was with another man...and of course, it wasn't I, the original "Poots!"
Wishing everyone who is "wishing they were a' yahd" a wonderful weekend, wherever you may be. Jamaica, soon come, soon come!
