Book excerpt: 'Living My Dreams' 'I am confident that readers will find this book to be an amazing tale of the strength of character of a great West Indian whose friendship I have always treasured.' - T. Michael Findlay, former West Indies player 'Reds is a quintessential Caribbean man with a rare but genuine knowledge and love for the smaller islands of our region, and a strong belief in the rich sporting talent that can be found here.' - Ricky Skerritt, Minister for Tourism, St. Kitts & Nevis 'I am delighted to learn that Reds is writing his life story. It will be a remarkable Caribbean tale of difficult beginnings, adversity and long odds overcome, opportunities grasped, challenges met and dreams fulfilled - altogether a fascinating personal odyssey.' - Ian McDonald, Writer and poet 'I thank and salute Joseph 'Reds' Perreria, a man who lived for the thing he loved - sport, an icon of Caribbean sports development - a most critical area of human and social development for our region.' - Edwin W. Carrington, Secretary General, CARICOM 'I hope that this book is widely read, even as Reds himself goes on for many years to inspire by his deeds the young people of today and tomorrow - on and off the field of sport.' - 'Sonny' Ramphal, Former Guyana Foreign Minister, Former Secretary General of the Commonwealth 'Reds is a wonderful and distinctive commentator. Whenever he comes on the airwaves he brings with him a richness that awakens the ghosts of history and a chuckle that tells of flying fish, rum, dancing and steel bands.' - Peter Roebuck, former Somerset Captain and cricket writer
