Reflecting on my mischievous childhood, I often chuckle at my naughty memories, particularly the thrill of sneaking peeks at the love letters exchanged between my brother Rawle and his fiancée during his time on Ascension Island. Recently, I felt compelled to learn more about the significant project he worked on in the sixties. Despite my research through videos and online sources, I found little information on the contributions of the West Indian workers involved. Curious, I asked Rawle about his experiences, and despite being over seventy, he vividly recounted events from fifty-five years ago. His name, inspired by a notable educator, seemed fitting as he shared these memories. It struck me that many of his colleagues may no longer be with us, and their vital roles in this historic project might fade into obscurity. Thus, I present this slim volume as a tribute to their efforts and sacrifices. I honor the West Indian men who, driven by economic hardship, ventured into challenging situations to support their families. Their hard work on monumental projects like the Panama Canal and the Moon Landing may not have been glamorous, but like an essential backstage crew, their contributions were crucial to success. Below is the interview with Rawle, which I hope will inspire more thorough research into this important subject.
