I am so very proud to be your granddaughter and I remember your grammar and comprehension lessons to this day. Thank you! :: 10/11/2012: Brianna Bocage, Port-of-Spain , Trinidad When he got up in the morning he would carry buckets of water from the well and later on from a stand pipe. This water was used for cooking, cleaning and bathing. My grandfather will also take his bath in an outside bathroom and use an outside toilet built of wood with a hole in the ground called a latrine.
Since there was no electricity he travelled on foot many miles to the parlour to buy pitch oil (Kerosene) which was used for lighting lamps and cooking.
There was no television in those days so he would entertain himself with a crank up battery radio. Therefore, a lot of time was spent outside playing; climbing trees, building tree houses and playing football and cricket.
My grandfather possessed great physical strength so he found his true destiny and love in lifting heavy objects at home. He would carry heavy buckets, barrels and large amount of chopped wood for miles on wheelbarrow. Through his persistence and dedication he became famous and he is now known to our country as a national hero. My grandfather won gold in the Pan-American games and many others. His name is included in the sports hall of fame as Brandon Bailey the great weight lifter.
He is now 79 going to be 80 in November. My family and I are very proud of him and I would like to make him proud of me too some day.
