    MAY 20, 2024: With her 100th birthday only a few months away, retired school teacher Linnette Guy’s memory is just as sharp as it was in the days of her youth, leaving family and friends amazed by her ability to recall events that they cannot remember.
    When THE STAR visited Guy on Sunday at the Serene Surrounding Nursing Care Home in Bog Walk, St Catherine, the 99-year-old was vibrant and cheerful, excited to share the joyful stories of her past.
    On October 13, 1924, Guy was born and raised in Bluefields, Westmoreland, at a place her grandfather named ‘The Cottage’.

    I am so privileged to hear this precious grandmother share her story which is history.
    This is a reminder that we must tell our own stories, otherwise someone else will tell it and they will give it their own narrative.❤

    Just pack up the interviewer. In an interview like this, you would expect the interviewer to connect. This could have been so much more beautiful. I would’ve considered not posting this but we would’ve missed this beautiful soul.

    • @anng7514
      @anng7514 Před měsícem

      Did you consider that the interviewer is inexperienced (doing the best she knows to) and just sharing with the public a sweet interaction? I do not think this was meant PRIMARILY for the public but just the sharing by students who value this living treasure who embodies history.
