Providential subpoena summoned Martin Arnold Lundy to evince the edict by Einstein that common sense constructs powerful fields of influence.

As did that scientist, he saw common sense as a logarithm of superior thought which he exercised in his fifty-two years in sport (1959 to 2011), as athlete (1959 to 1974); as Athletic Direc- tor & Coach at St. Augustine’s College (SAC) in Fox Hill (1972 to1980); or as Ministry of Sports administrator (1980 to 2011).
He similarly approached his role as Pretty Boy on the Fergusons of Farm Road, a local soap opera on Radio Bahamas (1971 to 1972).

Lundy was influenced by the athletic successes of elder brothers, Leo and Heinrich.

Magnifying forces were his Sandy Lane environs and Southern Prep, then Southern Junior School, where he was exposed to basketball by iconic Roderick Simms (the late).
His first competition was the Catholic Schools Track Championships in 1959, when he won third place for St. Thomas More Primary in the 60 yards, guided to that school by Fr.
