Good-bye to the Rada Family! Hello to Ian Jardine!

Last Saturday's Assignment (pitch and question and answer) proved to be quite beneficial to this documentary in that Ingle and Ms Ajim raised the concern about the apparent imbalance between the white and black family, in that there are three white families but only one African family. As much as I did not want to omit the Rada, I felt it was best to do so.

It can be perceived by viewers as an after thought to include them in the documentary.  You might suggest to find two other African families to make the documentary even, but that is difficult, in that there exists today very little effigy and vestiges of the Africans. That approach will not be helpful to the documentary and it is for that reason the painful decision was made to leave the Rada Community out of the film.

Ian Jardine is a white descendant of the Peschier. He is quite knowledgeable about his family's history and is willing to share all the information that he knows about Henri Peschier. Hopefully he will share some family photos with us. This interview is scheduled for next Sunday at 10 am at his St. Ann's home. However, this Sunday, Victor Peschier, a black descendant of Henri will be interviewed. 

Also the Museum has given us permission to take footage of Joseph Peschier's sword. A date and time will be set as to when the shoot can take place. 

Sly.
