The legendary and world famous, Hon. Barbara Gloudon, can take credit for Ephraim Martin's popularity in the news field before the age of 20 and before his other special event ventures..

45 years ago, I became a photojournalist at the oldest daily newspaper in the western hemisphere, the Daily Gleaner and its sister publication, the Daily Star newspaper. The year was 1974 and Editor, Dr. Gloudon saw something in me, to  assigned me to most of my columns and designated me to cover some of the best assignments which included world leaders, from Fidel Castro to Queen Elizabeth, entertainment events and other news beats. As a result I enjoyed international notoriety, before establishing my own company, Martin’s International, Inc. and my involvement in the entertainment industry.   I owe Dr. Gloudon, a debt of gratitude for all her support in my early years.
