Below is a brief copy and paste of the information available. It does not originate from me. TO READ MORE COPY AND PASTE THE LINK ABOVE.

Dr Earle Kirby is widely regarded as one of St. Vincent's national heroes. His knowledge of the earth, rock, soil and vegetation of his native land was unsurpassed. In addition to his chosen profession of veterinary medicine, he contributed liberally to the fields of geology, Biology, volcanology and history in his native island. This amazing man credits his professional diversity to being self-taught in most of these fields, rather than possessing formal training.

Ian Ayrton Earle Kirby, called Earle by his friends and family, was born on December 16th 1921 in Queensberry, Buckanham Valley, St. Vincent. He attended the Methodist Public School and the Intermediate Grammar School. His favourite subject was mathematics and he represented his school in football and cricket. He served in the Cadet Corps, and was a sergeant by the time he left school. Had he won the Island Scholarship, Kirby would have studied medicine like most Island Scholars but he later admitted that his life probably turned out to be more interesting without it.
