The next decade....what's in store?

Email to Keith

ttitilayo had mentioned on her blog one time (this, that, whatever) that she wondered if anything happened to her, how people would know.

I felt compelled to send an email to Keith's address, and this I did on Tuesday. I'm assuming that eventually his wife or sister will get the ISP to go into Keith's account and retrieve all the emails that would have been sent by people who wouldn't have known that anything happened to him. As a past member of Jamaica's rifle team, he would no doubt have travelled all over and met many people.

Anyway, the text is below...

Hello, I dont know if anybody from Keith's family is going to read this, but I just wanted to say how sorry I was to learn of the accident. I havent heard any news this morning, so like the colleague in the Jamaica Observer who said he was optimistic, so too am I.

Keith crossed my path quite accidentally, while I was a student at the University of Surrey in 2002. The Rifle Team had come to stay there for the Commonwealth Games and a Jamaican friend of mine and I saw them on campus and went and introduced ourselves to him, David and Jose. We met up for drinks, and another day we cooked for them because they complained that the British food was awful (it is!).

As you would know, Keith was the jokester among the bunch. He had us all in stiches. Unfortunately, after talking on the phone a couple of times when I would come back to Jamaica, I never did see Keith after that time on campus 3 years ago.

It didn't surprise me that he was taking flying lessons because he seemed very gregarious and wanted to make sure his life was fully occupied.

May God give you the strength and your family to lean on, in this difficult time.
