Precise, funny
Dear Robert,
I must say today's article really had me laughing. The way in which you describe your characters is amazingly distinct, precise and funny. A 'pink wig and yellow shoes' ... wow!
What makes it even more funny is the fact that while reading, I am here remembering my experience on a minibus too, and trust me, you're right on target.

It's entertaining
Dear Robert,
Having read the story of your mini bus adventure, I had a wonderful laugh at 7:30 a.m. I was the only employee in my office at that time so I was able to really laugh.
I read the news each morning, but your minibus adventure is entertaining. I'm still laughing even as I'm writing.
I'm looking for more of your travelling stories.

Cherish our culture
Dear Robert,
You are an absolute genius! A must read for people who cherish our culture. You have a tremendous knack for painting a picture of a slice of Jamaican life in only a few words.
Anyhow, keep up the great work.

Great story!
Dear Robert,
I am an early riser, but this Thursday morning I got up earlier than usual. I got my exercise out of the way, finished most of my Thanksgiving cooking and just read your piece in today's paper.
I could not stop laughing. Great story! Thank you very much!

Good stuff
Dear Robert,
I read your article every week. Good stuff! But I just kept laughing at this one in particular. It just lifted my spirit. I always look forward to reading your article. Such sense-of-humour!

Rural-urban settings
Dear Robert,
I read your column every time it comes in The Gleaner. I have to really laugh at times at the things you write. They inform me on what is going on in both the rural and the urban settings of the country. Continue to keep up the good work. I really love your column today.
I am, etc.,
