    Borther Ian you are a walking Encylopedia. I knew Mr. Best. He lived two houses away from us in Point and I must say your book on Pan reminds me of his Student Companion. All Panmen and friends of Pan should purchase this book. It is the only book I have read that has a data base filled with info on we thing. Give thanks Dr. Lance Seunarine

      Thanks Brother Lance,

                                           My work seem to me more appreciative by the pan diaspora outside of T&T.

      I am trying to get the books into the Schools in T&T.

                                                                                                                    Love Peace and Pan
