Wally Thompson was the first Head of the Spanish Department at the University of the West Indies in St. Augustine Trinidad and Tobago 1963-66. He was incredibly energetic, extremely informed about Spanish language retentions among Venezuelans who migrated to Trinidad during the many periods of instability in their home country. As a teacher he was devoted to his undergrad students and conducted the most inspiring and informative tutorial sessions at his home in St.Augustine. These always included generous servings of exquisite food prepared by his beautiful wife, and remarkable amounts of Trinidad rum. Shiraz Mohammed , Chatham Ontario Canada shiraz@cogeco.ca
