He lost students, friends and relatives on the ferry. One year later Browne went off to study at Ursinus College in Pennsylvania. However, that tragedy which demolished so many Nevisians kept haunting him. A few years later, during graduate work at Lehigh University, then Temple University, and working as an educator with the Allentown School District, he developed a friendship with Dr. Ed Schuster, an author and professor of English. It was Schuster who encouraged Browne to write. Coming from the Caribbean he could have written about numerous themes. But, the subject which kept haunting him was the Christena accident. He was there on Nevis the afternoon when it happened. Browne continued to hold sad memories of the desperation and pain her saw, over the many people who were traveling to Nevis, but did not finish the journey. He chose to share that sad, intriguing story about St. Kitts-Nevis with the world.visualizza meno
