In an earlier message I mentioned Lord Harris, he was the greatest of all
Governor Generals in West Indian history. His mother was a Sinclair. My son
when a young schoolboy (Glenalmond, Perth) did an essay confusing Lord
Harris, Governor General with his son Lord Harris the first non English born
captain of England Cricket by writing "Lord Harris was Governor in Trinidad
then he came to London and got an important job. He became the President of
the Marylebone Cricket Club" What is important to you is your point of view
that view may not be important to others.
