I took photos that day and he came and stuck his nose right in the lens of my camera and said "Whyfor you keeps stickin that there camry up my nose? If'n you can sticks your camry up my nose I's'll sticks my nose up your camry so I will."

He rode a "motortrycyclette" in the carnival procession and up to the field up Sandy Lane.

Stuart Hall opened a shop on Broadway. I think it was a TV rental shop. Where the pound shop is now at the Union St end.
