Born: Whycliffe Orlando Cameron - April 08, 1970 to parents Eula Cameron and Cleveland Cameron. My parents were from Hanover and Westmoreland and had moved to Kingston to improve their lot.
We have lived in Rollington Town since 1982. I attended Clan Carthy Primary School from 1977-1982 where I passed my Common Entrance Exams for Kingston College. I have often been asked why KC? At the time they won School’s Challenge the most and I was a TV buff back then and so I just wanted to go to that school.
I attended the prestigious Kingston College for 7 years during which time I attained passes in 6 O’Levels, 2 AO Levels and 2 A’Levels.
Rollington Town is the home of the famous Kensington Cricket Club and Lucas Cricket Clubs. However I naturally gravitated towards Kensington as it seemed from the early days to be better managed. I started at the club by learning to score to board, then I graduated to taking out the water on the field to the players. I was then eventually promoted to the book scorer and soon found myself playing on all the teams. By the time I was 17 years of age I was captain of the Club’s Minor Cup Team. By the time I left Jamaica in 1990 to the Bahamas I had played on a winning Senior Cup team.
Naturally I would have brought my cricketing exploits to KC and I played on all representational teams from U-14 to U-19 before being the captain of the U-19 team in 1989 that won the competition. In 1988 and 1989 I was rewarded with National trials for the U-19 team for which I made the reserves in both years.
I was awarded the Douglas Forrest Scholarship to read for a BSc, degree in Hotel Management tenable at the University of the West Indies in 1989 sponsored by Frank Rance of Franklyn D. Resorts Ltd. This area of study meant that I would live 2 years in the Bahamas. In 1989-1990 I represented the University of the West Indies in cricket and the Champion hall of Taylor that year.
In August1990 in arriving in the Bahamas, I was approached by a group to join the Paradise Cricket Club to which I did not hesitate. For the next 2 years I was the “Star” of the team. This was some of my greatest times at University. One of our lecturers played Division 2 Football and invited me and a few other students to try out. I eventually played for the team for the next two years as well. During my stay in the Bahamas I learnt to play Volley Ball as well as this was our main past time.
I was made the President of the Students Council in my final year (1991-1992) and became one of the first two First Class Honours in the programme since its inception.
