Helen Said: I had never stay in the farm till this Blain Atoll Shrimp Farm, belong to Sir Barry Bowen and built by Robins which is makes Robins's Shrimp Farmer life to become welknow.

I lived in this farm in and out for 6 years and in between I was in Guatemala or Florida. I had lots of memories in this farm including I saw a huge black Jaguar jumped behind our dock!

Barry was a very hard working man and also a happy man. He never lost in touch with Robins since the day Robins joins CP, one of the world leading Agricultural Company in Thailand.

As you all know how "Skype" help all of us to connect free around the world except to Burma with high cost. 5 days prior to his plane crashed I heard Barry's Voice on Skype talking with Robins. He called to talk about the Blair Atoll Shrimp farm's Business. He often told Robins, (sometime to me too), that Robins can join back to him anytime if Robins wish. He was telling me that I can stay in Miami if I get tire of the farm.

Since I am enjoying Thailand alot and Dr. Lin (Robins's Immediate Boss), is one of the reasons for Robins to stay... so we are still in here, Thailand. Thank you to CP for taking care of us good too.

As the new already said all about Barry I have not much to say beside, "Thank you Barry and may you rest in peace." If Barry can talk now I can imagine this is what he is saying....., "Wowwww I am very happy where I am now. See you all later!!"

This is for Barry.....

"My people will dwell in a peaceful habitation, in secure dwelings, and in quiet resting places." Isaiah 32:18

Our thought and prayers are with the rest of Barry's family.
