I remember a granddaughter named Masea. Again, no idea how to spell it. Anyone visit Negril during that time recognize any of this? I've enjoyed all the old stories.
Could it have been Lester and Miss Lena Donaldson? Mister Lester was a fisherman. They had one of the original properties on the beach between what is now Tree House and Footeprintes which was another one of the early properties on the beach. Their Daughter Deloris O'Conner manages the property today. Their Son Ossie's Donaldson owns the property across the road along with Ossie's Jerk Center.
