The focus of our parting conversation was about me honing my writing skills after I had graduated and returned to Barbados. Between the period 1995 to 2016, I have discovered that the more that I practice this leisure pursuit profession it seemed to be infectious among other elements. The other elements such as being passionate and prolific combined together with the Creator’s help, made me a productive writer to the extent that I have now published 158 books. In light of the aforesaid, I have decided to dedicate my 66 Th publication “A Tribute to Culture” Vol 1 in memory of Dr. Joseph Drew. All of the above information contributed to my academic developmental journey. William Anderson Gittens
