Saddened to note the passing of darrel rolle who lived in a hostel in Kensington in 1967-69 called Lee abbey for commonwealth students …he was very politically driven and a supporter of Mr Pindling government while still as an undergraduate. I met Philip Dean and Norris Carroll during that time and lost contact with all of them . Remember Philips mother being a minister in Mr Pindling government when I returned to Sri Lanka ..my deepest sympathies to his family,and would be so happy to hear from them. RIP Darrel you left us to soon
