Pineapples



This is Montaine John. He is 82 and grows pineapples on his farm and brings them to the Bourda Market to sell. He has a degree in agriculture and a certificate in education. He worked as a teacher all of his career and finished up as head-master of a secondary school. Teachers aren't paid enough, so he grows pineapples. Retired teachers don't get enough, so he grows pineapples. These pineapples are the sweetest ones we have ever tasted. They are not acidic (no canker sores) and we make it a habit to visit him once a week.
