Two Separate Lives, One Singular Purpose

The author's passion is history, and this volume fulfills a lifelong quest to tell the story of his mother's long and intricate relationship with a world class athlete and sports and entertainment icon, Mr. Charles "Charlie" Major, Sr. Written in personal and biographical style, the story captures the heroic journeys of these two ordinary Bahamians, and their singular vision in founding the Nassau Stadium, The Bahamas' major sports entertainment mecca for almost half century. It charts Charlie Major's college years at St. Bonaventure College, New York and his phenomenal rise to international prominence as a record holder in the high jump in the 1920's. And, it relates an anthological account of Willamae Deveaux's impressive culinary and managerial resume, and her love and fidelity to her family and church. In brief, the book is a tribute to the lives of these heroes, whose great accomplishments believe their humble beginnings. It is a story of love, friendship and commitment, and an inspiration to all.
