Great site, i have been looking and hoping for a alumni site like this all along. Extremely relieved to come accross this site.

After graduation, i played table tennis every day for the entire summer at my community center in Clark's Town. I was'nt too bad at it, and after running out of good competition, i headed to Kingston, hoping to take up the sports seriously.

However, reality kicked in and i grudgingly entered the working world in the insurance industry while completing the insurance degree program FLMI. While still employed, i started UTECH at an advaced matriculation, and completed a double major diploma in Finance and Marketing. Also, completed my BBA degree in Finance at UTECH.

After that, i completed my graduate degree EMBA from FIU, in the 2001 inaugural Jamaica cohort.

I was on the payroll during all of those daunting years of studying, but had changed career path to sales and maketing. I am currently the General Sales Manager at a beverage distribution company in Kingston.

I have also been involved in events and promotion, and currently managing a couple of young performimg artiste.

Reading the comments of a number of other alums', i have come to a very slow realization, that the once well kept secret of Zion (among the brave and fearless) is no longer. Therefore, kudos to all who have shared in the Zion experienece.

In 1980, A bunch of us were placed togather in what you could now describe as the infamous 7-4 group. We always seem to get in more than our fair share of mention on the not so good note. One such teacher who got quite stressed in dealing with this class was Ms. Henlin, our spanish teacher. On one faithful day, she got so frustrated she stormed out of the class, and somebody (cant quite remember who) decieded to place the rubbish bin on the top of the door to greet her return.

The class was quite abuzz waiting in gleeful anticipation for the return and unfortunated bump in the head of poor Ms. Henlin. Suddenly, the door pushed open, and the garbage pan came creashing down on...., Oh no! it was not poor Ms. Henlin..., Oooh Nooo, it was Mr. Whitely.

The class went dead silent, and the thunderous laughter that was expected to erupt, got stucked in everybody's throat. Mr. Whitely took the hit in the head without as much as a flinch, and without pausing, went straight into punishment and detention mode for the rest of the afternoon. I believed some serious caning was also dealt out to the entire class


Another story, was when in 10th grade, a number of us boys decieded to leave school early to go to Burwood Beach. In attendance was yours truly, Ivo James (rip), Squee, Paul Johnson, Sassy. I am sure there were a couple other guys, not quite remembering who else was there.

We arrived at the beach and rented a small dingy, rubber air boat (the small round ones). In no time we were out far on the water, threatening to row to Cuba. Some of the guys like Ivo and Squee, were good swimmers and were having fun diving under the dingy and rocking the hell out of the dingy.

During all the rocus, all of sudden, there was a loud explosion of air rushing out. In the panic, everybody jumped out of the dingy in fear, except, myself and Sassy, who were not good swimmers.

However, all of a sudden, Sassy started to wail and bawl out, "lawd have mercy, look how mi disobey mi granny, and tief wey from school and come a beach, and mi a go drown now,....Whoooiii, if mi ever drown, mi granny a go beat mi"

With that said, all the fear was replaced with riotous laughter and taunting from everyone except Sassy. Eventually the air plug was found and replaced and we headed back to shore, without any drowning i must add.

Needless to say, Sassy was never amused, and denied everything. However, the taunting and laughter went on for days, weeks...

Sorry Sas, but i can't forget that one. Is just good vibes pal.
