Dear Robert,

I really enjoy reading your stories in The Gleaner. I especially loved the story you did in Balaclava, St Elizabeth.

Really well done!

Dear Robert,

That piece was a real thriller! I enjoyed it, especially after reading the depressing news in the rest of the paper. Keep up the good work. God bless!

Dear Robert,

This week's story was excellent. I love your stories. I might visit most of the locations you talk about in your articles on my next trip to Jamaica.

Keep writing about Jamaica!

Dear Robert,

Just a note of congratulations on your 'Roving with Lalah' newspaper articles. Your work offers glimpses/perspectives into a Jamaica that is not popularly known, but very much a reality in our West Indian experience.

Your work strongly suggests that all is not lost to crime and violence in our societies, and that community spirit and neighbourly friendship is still the hallmark of Jamaican and, by extension, West Indian societies!

Keep up the excellent work!

Nuff respect!
