Buchanan, sounds like a relative of the late Danny Buchanan.One of the gtratest Cayman attorneys, Neville Levy hailed from Brucefield. Some lovely "brownings" from there.

Keeping score? That's the first I heard of that.
Good thing I checked today. Realized that one of the sisters' of a friend who migrated died. Ran into her and had a good chat at the coconut board about a year ago - didn't even know she was ill - too sad. Her sis was part of our exercise group.

We used to make jokes about our parents generation in old age faithfully listening to death announcements on the radio.

I was at a funeral recently for a 96 year old man. He had a close friendship with 4 others, three of whom died in their 80s. The last surviving member of the crew gave a really nice tribute to his friend. At the end he said he now felt a bit vulnerable as he is sure he will be next! lol

Was a bad joke that the youngsters made on the older folks saying that they were counting who they beat out, died before them.
