Hi Siva. A wonderful story of your early days as a planter. I wonder if you remember me from Keppoch days when you were on Balangoda. Remember we used to have memorable trips round the country one in particular was a trip to Matara. I believe we both had Honda motor cycles . So happy to have made contact with you.

John, good to see your picture! I never had the privilege of meeting you but I was SD on both L.D., and then U.D of Pitaratmalie under Peter Uglow. That was from 1962 to 1968. You were then on Tangakelle, and I think the late Derek Munaweera was one of your S.Ds. Quite a guy, old Derek. I knew the Munaweeras as I too studied at Trinity.

Hi!
I believe J D Stevenson is my great grand father. His daughter Jennie's daughter is my mother Jennifer Williams who is now a Boteju! I also believe J D Stevenson owned a Cocoa Plantation as opposed to Tea. Would love to find out more about him.
