Gerry Barrow lives in Tinidad with his wife, Shaheeba, and three children, Mickhaiel, Khalid and Sofiya. He taught science and machine shop at Malick Composite school for one year, after which he won a government scholarship to train as a pilot.Immediately on graduation from flying school he was hired with the national Airline, BWIA, now called Caribbean Airlines. He flew many different types of aircraft, from turbo-props to jets, and retired after 32 years.Gerry has a wide range of interests, no doubt inspired by his father, Dr. Russell Barrow, who was an expert on everything. In introducing Gerry to a group of scientists, an astronomer friend said, “If I told you all Gerry does we’ll be here whole day.”‘Boy Days’ covers his life in Glencoe, starting at age five, through primary school, college, university in Jamaica, flying school and hair raising experiences in the air and at sea. All stories are true.At age 70 he is still going strong, getting involved in new things all the time. Right now he’s doing a course in cytology and learning to play the Flugel horn.Read more about this authorRead less about this author

I was a child of the sixties, growing up in the Caribbean Island of Trinidad. 'Boy Days' refers to the skills you acquired and the experiences you had during that idyllic time.

This book attempts to describe what life was like for the benefit of today's Generation X, with their smart phones, social media and virtual reality games. It also serves as a bittersweet reminder to old folks like me who pine for those golden days.

'Boy Days' is a collection of stories, ranging from the shocking to the hilarious, and all in between. Despite its title, it covers my whole life.

That's because, at age 70, I haven't grown up yet. .
