Bandula, history is a continuos, ongoing, thing so, if all planters do not post their details there will be no record of their lives and work.

Good to see something by David here. Allow me to make a couple of small corrections for the record: On Alton I was not acting for Geoff Middleton but was Superintendent - Geoff had gone to Tangakelle - and Peter Innes was not on Moray but on Rosita at this time.

Gina Francis . Commented on MEMORIES OF MY TEN YEARS ON LAXAPANA GROUP

Thank you Frederick for sharing your tea planting memories and in particular for acknowledging my father, Malcom K Furlong. Sadly, as you know, he passed away in 1998 and hence not able to contribute memories of his tea planting days on Moray Estate and Laxapana Estate in the 1960s. However, I do have his Ceylon planting history written by him and it is my intention to upload these details onto this website, hopefully by the end of this year.

Prior to 1904 Dewalakande was in tea and in that year it was replanted in rubber probably by G.H.Masefield who was later to become the General Manager of the sister companies with the Head Office on Scrubs, Nuwara Eliya.
