Vincent Beach has crossed many rivers, beginning in 1944 when he left his rural Jamaican home and enlisted in the Royal Air Force.

An ordinary man by his own description he has experienced a lot-from war, to racism, to love found, lost, and rediscovered, to the birth of his children, and the tragic deaths of two of them from Lupus.
