[vb]

Tallest correct as usual.

I believe first WI to score a century and double century in Test cricket.

The man score a duck in TT ask to be dropped for the Guyana test vs. England. They refused to and he score a double century yes.

His son taught at Fatima, VB, maybe after your time, remember when his dad passed, had an indepth video on him at school in de auditorium

[vb]

Barataria,

I had a Mr. Roach who was my class teacher in Form II. I believe he taught us Eng.

Thought he was his son but never asked. Sorry I never saw that vid.

Mr. Roach was a very nice teacher. However, in later years they made him a Dean. Pity such a nice fella should start giving out licks.

Yeah, he was a cool teacher, did not teach me but was respected by most of us.  Must have made him dean after I left as well, cyar see him dishin out licks, but hey, he would have had to as dean.  Actually, he along with a couple other teachers emigrated to Dallas when there was a huge movement to bring teachers from the Caribbean in Math/Science to the US.  Saw him once on my way to AZ as I passed through Dallas.  I believe he is still out there

He was a great teacher and dean though

If he passed away, sorry to hear that. He was a really nice teacher to have. Gave out some of the most curious pennances. Now that I think about it, it was probably Math he taught me.

If he did pass away really sorry to hear that.

Not too sure Roach passed away.  Both Roach and Ifill (former O- and A-level Physics Teacher at Fatima) left TT at the same time and both settled to teach in Dallas.  I saw Ifill last year in NY and he did not mention that Roach passed away, given our closeness this is something I think he would have shared, though of course I cannot confirm.  Will try to touch base w/Ifill and hear the latest.

[vb]

I remember Ifill well was in Form V or VI when I started Fatima.

I think he Benjamin and James were more or less in the same year.
Made the transition from Form VI to teaching before they went on in their lives.
