I was on Friday by my dentist and wile waiting for my appointment I discovered a book on display titled “In Praise Of Jamaica” by George Meikle, subtitled “Celebrating 50 years of independence 1962 – 2012.”
Lo and behold Errol is in it on chapter 21 under “Famous Residents of Jamaica.”
It gave a caption which amazed me! It quoted that Errol had written part of his MWWW at Ian Flemming’s “Goldeneye” cottage at St. Mary in Oracabessa. I wonder if that is true but he should know living there? In addition there is a very nice picture of Errol in the book I have never seen before.
Now, George Meikle lives in Jamaica, he is Canadian and is the brother of John Meikle a doctor who has his office at the same place then my dentist. Small World? I could get in touch with him! I am sure the office would give me his e-mail and I could ask him how he got the information about Errol and the Goleneye. Maybe he would give me a copy of the picture too! One never knows until we try!
It is a very nice book about Jamaica and I thought I share this little tidbit information with you.
