Sisnett celebrated his 111th birthday on 22 February earlier this month, at a function at Hilton Barbados.
Below is a report from Felton "Gerald" Ince, his great-nephew.
"James Emmanuel Sisnett celebrated his 111th birthday on Tuesday 22nd February in fine style at the Hilton International Barbados. Uncle "Doc" as we the nephews and nieces call him, was hosted by the Government of Barbados' Ministry of Social Care. Stories and photos of the event may be read at http://www.nationnews.com/articles/view/a-toast-to-111-year-old-sisnett/ the www.barbadostoday.bb, of 23 February 2011, to list a few. He still has an amazing memory a hearty appetite and a blood pressure like that of a young person that being 120/70. Eight of his nine living children as well as there children, grandchildren and great-grands, plus diplomats, priests and a host of other guests attend the mid morning event at which there were speeches by government ministers, etc and the screening of a documentary of his life. He is blessed, having never been in a hospital as a patient and his super centenarian status has attracted the California-based research company, Acron Cell Biotech Company, currently on the island collecting blood samples form family members looking for answers to his and his siblings long life.
