snippets of my life experinces

Meself and five brothers were watching the test match  India    Windies  at Starlight restaurant  recently , women folks being at a baby shower nearby,  Sitting next to us on the adjacent table was an elderly Black gentleman over 80 years old with  two young men . Naturally I greeted him and ask where he was from . He replied that he was from New , Amsterdam but moved away to  Georgetown. He then enquired as to where I was from and  I when told him. I can see that his eyes lit up  "  Do  you know Garfield to which I replied  that  I did  ' 
  I then asked as to how he knew Garfield. He stated that he was a good friend of Garfield  back then and haven't seen him  for over 35 years and that they played cricket against each other ., When he told me which team he played for , I  suddenly  recognise  his face . I was nine or ten but I recall that this was the fastest bowler I have ever seen at that age .
I  then' said"you are Mi....' I then told him that I saw him bowl in the days and as a youngster and that he was the fastest that I ever saw ". 
He was now mostly interested in Garfield and when I told him that I know where Garfield lives  and I will take him to meet he the following week , I saw happiness in his face . I then asked him to tell me something about Garfield but every thing he told me about  Garfield , I  already knew,.
He stated that Garfield  was the best batsman he ever faced . He was telling me that    that man was the hardest hitter of the ball and always led the batting averages in the competition and in addition he never dropped a catch . He described him as about  six feet  four inches  . I then related to him when Garfield destroyed his team making 92 runs . This old man  also remembered that game
He told me something that I never knew . Both him and Garfield was called up for  Berbice trials for the Jones cup, the only two players from the second division  but Garfield never showed up,
T he second division was below the Davson cup
Garfield  and Minty met today and the cricket stories I heard today can fill a book '
