Author Harold A. Fonrose's story, as presented here in his
memoir, evolves as a historical perspective of a young male
arriving in a humble environment of Caribbean culture in Trinidad,
British West Indies along with his sister after the death of their
mother. There, under the guidance of his paternal grandmother,
ambitions and musings began as he was exposed to the
characteristics of determination, discipline, and sustained
diligence. These attributes became embedded and forged his decision
to enter the structured profession of medicine, to which he later
made major contributions in the realm of geriatric thinking.
Fonrose is firmly convinced that these similar, average
characteristics are available to each and every subset of people
and culture. This journey is not about the individual; it is about
the memories.
With regard to the title of the book, there is no attempt to be
either dismissive or derisive. But he has a certain degree of
contempt for people who genuflect at the altar of money, thereby
assuming a posture of kneeling and worship with their eyes fixed to
the ground, missing or intentionally avoiding the positive vision
of a distant horizon.
That general statement is embedded in the title "It's Only Money
... Memory is the True Value."
