Who’s watching this now in 2024…… amazing to see how well spoken everyone is 😮

Everyone so well spoken

I remember well 30 September 1963 when Flora devastated Tobago. It was my first day at work in Texaco Refinery Pointe a Pierre. For the entire day supervision was checking barometric pressures to see if anything would affect us. My heart went out to Tobago and everyone there. NOW, 60years later Tobago is an island paradise with countless attractions and a wonderful population. Nature's work here is tremendous when we visit Tobago now.

I remember that day well as it was my birthday and I had to walk home since the school closed at Noon.

Then again, I forgot that mankind didn't touch the moon until 1969.....no satellites of the nature we're accustomed to now to give us days notice.
Wow. How much things have changed technology wise in 60 years!
