What is Uncle Ron's Academy?



Uncle Ron’s Academy is a happy dynamically fluid crew who gather in various sized groups, committees, gatherings, celebrations enjoying visits with or just hanging around Uncle Ron.

Who is Uncle Ron? Uncle Ron is a "spirit". However, the Academy should say that it was a "aha" sort or moment when we realized that the "Ron" in Ron Carioca or Ron Zacapa Centenario was not a primero nombre but Rum! So when we gather it’s more of a family adventure valuing all those great things like life, love, learning. It is more than a night out on the town... So, we are Uncle Ron’s Academy....

This blog spot will feature all sorts of things like rum, music, feasts, literature, dancing, links to other rum sites, events, adventurers and one of the great causes we support: Los Primos Project

Roncipient of the 2011 Uncle Ron Reads Award Announced


Pictured above is Stephen Kimber (2nd from Left) with His partner Dona Rona Jeanie and Don Rons: Jeff, Theo and Mario.

Uncle Ron is getting ready for a winter of reading… And what book is he hoping to find under the tree? A book by Stephen Kimber, the Roncipient of the 2011 Uncle Ron Reads Award.
Stephen Kimber, a Professor of Journalism at the University of King's College in Halifax, is an award-winning writer, editor and broadcaster. He is the author of one novel -- Reparations (Harper Collins, 2006) -- and eight non-fiction books.
Stephen has also completed a book entitled What Lies Across the Water about the story of five Cuban intelligence agents sentenced to lengthy prison terms in the United States for infiltrating Miami exile groups plotting terrorist attacks against Cuba. This is not an ideological book on politics but a nonfiction narrative about The Cuban Five, the people, the families and their stories.
