“We retirees are no longer fashioned by the urban traffic and skyscrapers of the metropolis. Our conditioning now comes from swaying palm trees on long white sandy beaches caressed by warm, clear, bluish-green waters. This is how we roll.” From a speech delivered by the President of the Retirees’ Club on July 10, 2012, on the occasion of a farewell function for Governor Ewart Williams.

Bruce courtesy the Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago © Copyright 2013 Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago WELCOME Readers, welcome to the second edition of our re-established Vintage Magazine. This should have been our third edition but because of an unusual pressure on our scarce resources at the time, the last September issue could not happen as scheduled. However, the good news is that “We’re back!”, and with all systems in place, Vintage will be published twice a year - April and September. Our last publication attracted rave reviews from all over the globe . . . well at least from one person in Canada, a couple in New York, someone in Tobago, and many right here in Trinidad. The overwhelming positive feedback has been very encouraging and we appreciate the sentiments expressed. A ‘pdf ’ version of Vintage was placed on the Central Bank’s intranet thereby allowing, for the first time, full access to our magazine by management and staff of the Central Bank. We are grateful for this step forward and hope that this can continue. A special thank you goes out to the Corporate Communications department where the final stage of our publication is managed. The folks assigned to the Vintage project formatted the text, pictures, and graphics into the magazine we read. They also handled printing. Great job! We hope you enjoy this issue of Vintage and we look forward to your comments. Please let us know if you are interested in submitting an article for our next issue. All contact information is shown on the inner back cover. Read on. APRIL 2013 1
