Dear Victor,
Thank you for your kind wishes. It took me by complete surprise. I had no idea

better turn into a responsible human being now and behave myself on public

Take care and warm regards as always,
In reply to Victor's comment - I feel certain that what Roland meant was

although he's used the word class
To our eternal shame, 'casteism' was very prevalent in Kenya( and dare

I had missed Roland's review till I found some discussion here and
checked it in the archives. I remember reading it long time ago,

Dear Victor, Mervyn and Tony (Barros),
I did indeed mean caste. My error in using the less pernicious 'class'.
Mervyn had mentioned to me that his efforts with Bwana Karani were meant to
