From one "Old Boy" to another, Congratulations Earl.

Congrats. Earl. Another best from St. Best
Another reach for Treasure Beach.
Another bank for Sandy Bank.
Man, yes we can.

Congratulations Mr.Moxam you are certainly deserving of the award. Continue being a model citizen and an inspiration to young people striving for success

Congratulations Mr. Moxam and may you continue to excel.
I do not think you know me, but I knew your grandfather Maas Norman and your father very well. Not sure if I know you, as I left TB many years ago.

Keep up the good work and God bless.

Congratulations on being named Journalist of the Year, Earl!

Your knowledge about what is happening all over the world--and why it is happening--illustrates a deep curiosity for the things around you and a unique understanding of all you report. This, coupled with your compassion, makes you more than worthy of this prestigious award.

Bravo, Earl!

Congratulations Mr. Moxam, hope to meet you someday.

Bravo Earl! I hope some of your knowledge of happenings around the world will rub off somewhat right here in treasure beach by doing a story on the roads and that awful canal.
That's what your profession do best so please try and help us.

Uncle Earl, I've heard the good news and I congratulate you on the awards you’ve received. It must feel good accomplishing such goals and dreams to be standing in this present day receiving awards for your hard work. From all of us in the great North,
Well done.
From your niece,
Karen

Congratulation Earl, well deserved. You have made Treasure Beach very proud. Continue your good work,

Congratulations to my brother, Earl on being honored as Journalist of the Year!

He was just saying to me last week that he had not submitted his name for consideration as he had already won the honor a few years ago and wanted to defer to other candidates.
But obviously somebody thought he deserved it again and submitted on his behalf. And congrats to Winsome as well, for keeping the home fires burning, giving him the freedom to do his job with distinction. Clearly this is hers too.

I know Daddy would be as proud of this honor as Mommy and all of us are.

Enjoy the moment, guys!

Congrats Earl! I feel good to know that you are one of us. I know you are doing what you always wanted to when you were a youngster. Keep up the great work and looking forward to even greater achievements from you! All the best to you and family too! Take care.

Congratulations Earl on achieving the Journalist of the Year 2010 award. Hard word and dedication to your profession really paid off.
Keep up the excellent performance.

Good to go
How are you doing? When I heard of Earl's award, I also reflected on that special desk we named "JBC" at Sandy Bank Primary School.Sometimes I marveled at how the three of us sat at that desk and were able write and do our work well. We also never fussed about any inconvenience.The J represented my name,the B yours and the C represented Earl.I wonder if any of our classmates remembered how Earl got to be represented by C.It is good to celebrate with our own. Have a blessed Christmas.

what,s up jerry,i should have known that was you but i wasnt sure,hope you are doing well,as for me iam good.hey jerry i do remember the jbc on our desk but for some reason i cannot remember what the C stood for but for some reason i think it had something to do with those small and tiny ears that listened so well,and if iam wrong can you please share it with me and the treasure beach people.

A well deserved award. May God continue to bless you Earl.

wow earl it does not get any better than this congrats to u keep on shining and make treasure beach proud and most of all ur mom u look like a million dollar and what a smile . i have to agee with mar on what she said about winsome because behind every sucessful man there is always a good woman may god continue to guide and keep u

I remembered clearly when aunt Masei come to Lewis Town with the good news to tell her sisters that Earl came home from school he started saying I pass, I pass, I am going to Manroe School.She also stated that after he left to play with his friends she said then old man how will we manage to send him. Mass Carl reply dont worry old Maise God will provide, and of course the three sisters started doing what they do best HUG AND CRY. To you my cousin God has provide and you made the best of it.

To Congrats: Earl do not live in Treasure Beach but you do not have to live in a place to do good for that place.
Do not forget that he and his wife are from Treasure Beach.
As a Journalist going out and gathering news from all over the world and in your own country I would think that Earl would find it in his heart to do his best for Treasure Beach by putting all the things that needs to be addressed on the front page of the Gleaner.
What do you think?

That's what I admire with some of our Journalist here in the States they see the need in a community they do their job sometimes out of concern, sometimes out of love and sometimes just because they do care until someone listen and fixes it.

To Meex: Earl does not live in Treasure Beach, but I promise you Treasure Beach lives in him every moment of the day.

He has done so much for this community including bringing community issues to national attention when appropriate. Loads of the work he does for this community is behind the scenes so you may not see it, but trust me it is there.

I would like to challenge all who write on this forum suggesting someone else does something for the community by asking themselves first what they have done for the community lately. Let us all start with ourselves for helping our beloved Treasure Beach. I promise you, if that is done the entire community will benefit.

amen rebecca your so right people just like to say things that they have no clue about. you keep on pressing onward moxam.

Meex: You say "I would think that Earl would find it in his heart to do his best for Treasure Beach by putting all the things that needs to be addressed on the front page of the Gleaner.
What do you think?"

I can understand why you would want that to happen, but that is not how newspapers work. Earl is wonderful at what he does and that is why the Gleaner gives him such good assignments and sems to trust him more than they trust some other writers. Earl writes for the Gleaner but he does not get to decide where they go in the Gleaner. He CAN'T put everything on the front page. Where stories go in a newpaper is NOT up to the writer, no matter how good the stories are. That is the job of the PUBLISHER, not the WRITER.

Think about it. ALL writers want their stories on the front page. There are serious problems in ALL communities.

One of the jobs of a good writer is to do research to get the facts. Another is to be impartial. If he only writes about Treasure Beach or even if he writes about it too much it will sound like he is not impartial. The Gleaner is for ALL of Jamaica.

Rebecca is correct. Do not sit around waiting for someone else to help Treasure Beach because you wil be waiting forever. What can YOU do to help? How can YOU encourage others to help?

That's what I think.

To "dont wait for Earl" -Thank you, it means I dont have to repeat what you have said as this is what I intended to write. At this point if there are no more commendations then I think the forum should be closed. May I use this opportunity to say Congratulations Earl!

Guys, just a small correction. Earl no longer writes for the Gleaner. He has not done so for almost three years now.

My case is closed.Never meant to up-set the apple cart.

once again congratulation earl on your achievement for journalist of the year.you have earn this award for the good work you have done,and if i was you i wouldnt change a thing.i am so proud of you cuz.its so nice to read about the moxams in the congrats section, and not the lost to the sea.this is not about where you do it,or when you did it,its about how you did it,and yu dweet di bes dis ear.big up cuz long to see you and jerry.

good to go,
when next you come back to the Rock,please ensure we link up. Earl and I would definitely come down to TB to smile and laugh at the "good old days".Whenever it gets too cold in the north, welcome to the sunny rock. You were getting close in deciphering the "C" for Earl.
Cheers

Jerry and "Good to Go," it's so heartwarming to see the three of you (with Earl) sharing again in this way. I won't soon forget the many days when you were young boys and you would come to our home with all your energy and innocence. It's great to see that neither time nor space has wearied your mutual affection.

G-to-G, love to your mom, please!

"Pa Hawk's Pearl," it wasn't just the three sisters who cried easily. Unfortunately, I got the crying gene too! Your post brought a flood of emotions. I truly miss Aunt Berry and Aunt Jo. Those three sisters did set a great example for all. Would if more of us were more like them! I really enjoyed your post.
Merry Christmas!
