Henry Fitt. The last time I flew with him
Most of this is from an entry in a diary I kept when I was 17 - 19 in Guyana.
Sunday 1st Feb. 1981, Moblissa Dairy Farm, Soesdyke - Linden Highway. - I arrived at Moblissa Dairy Farm last Wednesday from Ebini Ranch via Georgetown. The 'Milk Truck', a monster tanker lorry that transports the farm’s milk to Georgetown was quite a ride. I’d left my previous training assignment at Ebini Ranch in the Intermediate Savannahs for Moblissa to continue training for management at the Livestock Development Company. My dream job, an entry level management position as a LIDCO Ranch Supervisor (assistant ranch manager).
