Love Hill and Gully growing up it was a must .Whoever didn’t have a TV had to find a neighbor who had . It was a must watch young and old could relate to some aspect of it . Rich Culture Carey Robinson and crew Thanks much, much!!
lester smith She sounds like a welsh woman.Its possible that she may come from a welsh background whose parents settled in Jamaica from Wales.The singer Bonnie Tyler has a similar throaty accent as this lady.
Mrs Matalon is the splitting image of my Grandmother in every respect, also born in 1911 and lived to 102 years old. This documentary is marvelous. You hear her talk of Mrs Muchett, that is also family to me. Also Mrs Stockhausen she speaks of is another family member. This is unreal. ( Stockhausens were from Trelawney where my Grandfather is from. ) Would you believe that Charles Matalon is one of my good friends. This must be his grandmother or Grand Aunt. The similarities are uncanny. And would you believe that the school she speaks of, St Andrews, my Aunt worked there for 40 years.
That lady is on point speaking the TRUTH...I can concur and have driven those streets in Kingston and rode the number 14 JOS bus which ran along the streets and area she mentioned...A KEPT WOMAN..correction LADY..
3:53, omg that's my buddy! I know his Dad is Jamaican and they were prominent Jewish Jamaicans but to hear her say their last name out of nowhere was quite shocking. "The Lindos," that was unreal.
Interesting to learn that Stanton Terrace was named off Stanton District in St. Thomas. As a child growing up on Stanton Rd. in the district of Spring Garden in St. Thomas, I was very familiar with the Matalons' home in Stanton. Knew this lady and Ivy Matalon. They were involved with the Girl Guides and Brownie movement. Isaac (Zacky) Matalon; her husband was Custos of St. Thomas.
You get to meet and hear from them in parts 2 and 3. They are friends of Mrs Matalon. Some met and worked with her through the Girl Guides movement, others through working with her family and/or husband.
People thinks that all Jamaicans say “ya mon” far from it. I have Jamaican friends who would be offended if someone would say “ya mon” they thinks you are making fun at them.
If you look at the “white” families in Jamaica they are still extremely segregated. I’ve always thought it was weird that people live in a country with 92% black people and still have a family that’s all white or all Indians or all Chinese.
A lot of the white Jamaicans who settled on the island were of German,english,Scottish and welsh ancestry so it’s a possibility she may come from a welsh or Irish background.Remember she is a direct descendent of the colonizers.
That has always been my impression of the interviewer. He asked ridiculous, irrelevant questions on the show. I am amazed he was allowed to host that show for as long as he did.
She’s a very nice lady, I used to be her computer technician. She was very sharp and knowledgeable. RIP Mrs. Matalon
“Out of many, one people” 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲 lovely Parish, lovely people, lovely island and Mrs. Matalon, a lovely lady 😊
She sounds like Irish Jamaican and reminds me of my Piano teacher. RIP

I wish I’m this fluid at 100 yrs old !!!! God bless her Rip
🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲. RIP with the angels you beautiful Jamaican Lady.🌹
This lovely lady has an amazing memory... This is because of her love of reading, keeping her brain active. Out of one many... God bless
Watching this makes me smile at the memory of a wonderful lady and friend. I do miss her, and she continues to inspire me everyday.
This brings back so much memories of my youth in Jamaica and the old days when we used to play cricket at "Cow Field Park" on Lady Musgrave Road.
She was my Brown Owl when I was a Brownie in primary school. Lovely lady. “Good night Brown Owl” 😘🙏🏾
I love her accent, so beautiful. I also love this program... I learned so much about Jamaica.

That is a Jamaican accent.

I cant believe shes 100 that incredible
How on earth, was this woman 100? Wow, she looked good!
Lovely interview.
Wow! Amazing woman!
Good video 👍
An autobiographical account to be cherished. I’m curious to know who the people were that the camera kept panning to. 🤔
You get to meet and hear from them in parts 2 and 3. They are friends of Mrs Matalon. Some met and worked with her through the Girl Guides movement, others through working with her family and/or husband.
I wonder if she ever shared her reading list with anyone?
🙏🏿

Wow, it just goes to show, segregation is everywhere.
It is said that colours were segregated if that is so why are so many jamaicans jew and non jew so mixed.
They were only segregated in the day time.🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤣🤣

Exactly. They try to keep the wealth within their family and lineage. They’re taught that from a young age.
@@alexyoung7371yup,facts talk truth
What's wrong with that interviewer?
She sounds as if she has a Welsh background.
Nope.... Jamaican accent speaking English
Lol @ Welsh
A lot of the white Jamaicans who settled on the island were of German,english,Scottish and welsh ancestry so it’s a possibility she may come from a welsh or Irish background.Remember she is a direct descendent of the colonizers.
Definitely Jewmaican jewel-.
Home schooled non black children? Remember those days things was segregated.
This interviewer is so irritating, I wish that he'd asked much more poignant questions
