"August 31 1962"

August 31, 1962. The year Trinidad & Tobago gain Independence from England. I was 2. I remember the celebrations and the fireworks. My parents talked about this joyous occasion for many years. It feels great to hear my 85yrs old mother still talk about it. Now I tell my children about the parades and the festivities.... Happy 48 Independence to all Trinbagonians....
