“My intention was that I wanted to do a trade, so I started doing a little cycle repairs and from there, I got into the (sugar) factory where I worked my way up to senior engineer.”By Leon SuseranGuyana, today, does not have many engineers. It is a field that has seen a dearth of talent but it is a rather lucrative profession. Grenville Augustus Felix is one of Guyana’s oldest living engineers. He began his career as a Factory Engineer Foreman at the Booker’s Sugar Estate back in 1954, where he supervised the maintenance of the factory’s machinery. He moved up the ranks not too long after. He has trained countless engineers across the country to sharpen as well as master their skills in the field.Grenville FelixFelix is not only talented for his engineering skills, but for adroitly making iron chairs and other kinds of chairs, which he enjoyed doing up to a few years ago.

He related that everyone in the village wanted to know what was causing all the raucous and the villagers wondered. As they (the villagers) drew closer to Mr and Mrs Thomas Felix’s home, they were delighted to discover that little Grenville had entered the world. His father, Thomas, was a balata bleeder and his mom, Rachel was a housewife.During his tender age and years, he recalled scrubbing floors “until your fingers can no longer hold the brush and sanding furniture until the desired results are achieved, as well as washing large bundles of clothes using a wooden beater or a scrubbing board”. He also recalled “leaving to go catch ‘conga’ fish when free from the demands of school and to prepare dad’s lunch before the factory whistle blows as well as cleaning the yard until there was no more paper or straw”.He vividly recalled riding his bicycle for two hours to New Forest, Canje, then walking for about an hour to North Cumberland Farm (150 acres), “and then spending three hours planting rice, and two hours harvesting pumpkin and cassava.These produce were then carried on our backs for the return journey of one hour through puddles of mud and pimples, in order to bypass the fearful stump in the Canje Creek”.Grenville attended Elementary School in East Canje, and at age 13, he received a partial scholarship to attend a Secondary School in Georgetown and upon completion, he returned to St Patrick’s Anglican School (where he graduated) to complete his secondary education.He quickly learned and enjoyed to do cycle repairs “and from cycle repairs, I went to the estate and started to work there as an apprentice at the age of 16”.? When asked why he went into apprenticeship at the sugar factory, Felix related that “my intention was that I wanted to do a trade, so I started doing a little cycle repairs and from there, I got into the factory where I worked my way up to senior engineer”.Retirement party held in Felix's honour at Booker's Estate.

That clarifier was something else; when that juice stale, you can hardly take the scent and they tried and eventually, seven men died there.” He related that the men actually drowned in the clarifier and “nobody could have helped them because they go in from the top, you couldn’t get them out and nobody could have gone inside to help them”.Clarifiers are large tanks that are used to settl
