Before becoming Rocky Dell the property was known as Pee Wee's, Gus, Franklin, Winsome, and Princess, and of coarse Pee Wee. Never in my life have i enjoyed the food and the company, Pee Wee, Franklin, Winsome, are all gone, but will remain in my heart and memories. I hope to get back and see those remaining this year, as well as all my other old friends.

April 29, 1975! Life changed for me that day! I never really liked Jamaica. It was love a first sight!

Here is Franklin working next to the goat pen and A Frame in 1982.

Here is Franklin and Daisy house which was next door to the Rocky Dell and in front of the A frame guess house the built.
My 1st stay with them was in George's place between Rocky Dell their house up front close to the road. Did anyone know Gladstone who lived up the road next door?

So, did you speak with McCartney?

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.

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:

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....
