The Cambridge Academy Alumni Association International extend condolences to the family and friends of Hugh Denbow. Hugh was an alumnus of Cambridge Academy; at school he was a scholar athlete. He represented Cambridge Academy in cricket, soccer, and track and field. He was an outstanding track athlete and was Champion Boy on more than one occasions at school. He represented the school in 100, 200 and 400 meters at the Inter School Sports.

Few things in this world take complete dedication, perseverance, and faith like making a conscious decision to write a book and share one’s knowledge and experience with a targeted group of people. This is true about CAAAI alum, Ms. Kim M. Barry who devoted her time and penmanship to writing a book entitled 'How We Got Over: Ten real life lessons for real life challenges’.

Ms. Barry, moved by the very essence of her 30-year career as a licensed Social Worker drew upon her first-hand knowledge and experience, in order to reach out and assist women (and men) by providing a practical pathway for dealing with stressors and negative encounters in our daily lives.

The Cambridge Academy Alumni Association International in collaboration with the Maryland Hindu Milan Mandir presents a movie commemorating the Indian arrival in Guyana. This movie, "Echos from the Plantation" is filmed in Guyana and has a diverse cultural heritage that includes aspects of all six ethnic groups. Dinner and cultural presentation are included, please see flyer for more details and ticket information.

On the behalf of CAAAI, I express my profound condolences to our committee member Lorna Welshman Neblett on the passing of John Patrick Neblett Sr. He passed last Saturday morning surrounded by his children, grandchildren, and close family members. May Patrick soul continue to rest in eternal peace. Let us all remember Lorna and her family in our thoughts and prayers.
