Scott's Jamaican Bakery

George Scott died a few days ago at 92.  He and his wife were educators in Kingston, Jamaica, but they couldn't rise their kids on Jamaican teachers' salaries, so they emigrated to Hartford.


Forty years ago they started Scott's Jamaican Bakery on Albany Avenue in Hartford, the center of Hartford's African-American and Caribbean communities.  There are now three stores and a wholesale bakery business.  Mr. Scott was a leader in his community.  Rest in peace.

    Hi Jack, I haven't been by your blog in simply ages... life's thrown a few curve balls, but we're still finding joy in our days. So many of those I used to follow have taken their blogs offline, I've thought about it, but 12 years of work and memories is a lot to toss away. I hope you're well, still clicking that shutter, so glad you are!
