Foreign students at OCCC two Jamaicans find place in sun
Two Jamaicans Myrtle Brown and Maurice Fletcher study at Orange County Community College in Middletown. Brown, a 40 year old junior high principal and teacher from Kingston, travels for education while Fletcher, 23, an Erasmus Hall High School graduate from Brooklyn, adapts quickly and plans to become a citizen and teacher. They praise OCCC counselors and describe U.S. life as faster, with Miss Brown noting snow and tall buildings, while Fletcher hopes to bridge Jamaica and the United States through art and education.
