Among the objects I discovered in my father's study--a place which had not been explored, I would imagine, for about 20 years--are (in no particular order):

• the music he selected and used in 20-odd years of directing the Nassau Renaissance Singers, including some of his own arrangements and those of other choir members
• memorabilia from the various CARIFESTAs he attended during his time as Director of Culture
• notebooks with drafts of chapters of his thesis
• notebooks with notes from a psychology course he took in England when he was there
• a stash of various sublegal substances & risque publications (yep, he was a rebel)
• some really cool posters from Cuba
• notes and minutes from various official meetings, including the doodles he made during the discussions
• documents showing what Sammie Swain cost to put on in 1985 (our recent revival CERTAINLY didn't keep up with the cost of living!!!)
• an early draft of what would become Winston Saunders' masterpiece, You Can Lead A Horse To Water--a draft called You Can Take the Horse to the Well
• slides from 1960 to 1990
• reel-to-reel tapes of the interviews he conducted for his master's thesis
• some 16mm films ... no idea what's on them
• a screen and a projector for those films (but we're advised NOT to play them until someone can digitize them)

So ... wow.[metaslider id=3514]
