While she was
beating me again with a pan, you mean :-)
No, I
fell on a walk on a rocky sea shore. Attached
is a photo just before the fall.
I
clicked on a link to the twitter account in Ladislao’s circular no 901 and
found about 50 spam tweets attached to it.
Best,
Don

Not sure what you
mean, Don.
Sorry
to hear about your broken finger……..
Was it
broken while Maggie was beating you with a pan for being a bad boy?

Hi, George,
There
are about 50 spam tweets attached to your original postings.
Perhaps
you could monitor regularly and delete as appropriate,
Best,
Don

Hi, Jeremy,
It is
so good to hear from you.
But,
good, you write cryptically.
I
shall have to spend several hours trying to figure it all out :-)
So
sorry to hear you soon dead :-(
Mind
you, my departure date is written on the expiry date of my pacemaker
battery.
I
don’t intend to replace it.
It is
supposed to last for 10 years.
It was
inserted 12 years ago :-) :-) And, the pacemaker itself is
obsolete.
They
would have to rip it out and insert another!! No way.
Besides,
I beat the old testament limit of three score years and ten.
It was
a good run.
What
about you?
Best,
Don

Ladislao for enshrining in the Circulars

Hi Don;
Thanks for your
recent post.
--------------------------------------------------------------.
Hi Don,
Quick
post for the investigatives, just a guess; could dead any day; so best get it
out quick.
Love
to Maggie and yourself.
Suggest
(should situation allow); get wind generator + Solar panels.
Christ,
Venezuela is a mess.
Am
ashamed of TT politicians, no foresight.
Good
speed to our brothers (& sisters) over there.
Later.
Jeremy

Hi, Jeremy,
How
good to hear from you.
I hope
and trust you have a pacemaker to make up for the failing heart.
You
don’t mention one!!
The pictures
are ones we received in the Circulars from Jeremy, so there is not much point
in forwarding them to him.
But,
I’ll do as you ask.
Do you
recognise any of the persons that he has left un-named?
That
he would like to know about.
Best,
Don

Hi Don & love to
Maggie,
Thanks
for the MSB Ladislao’s latest; keep them coming.
Sorry
to hear about your dodgy ticker; Yes, we're all getting old. (Earlier eMail)
Mine
has a 15% functioning valve; and I still smoke too much.
Just
playing a bit here:
Kindly
forward to Ladislao the following pics
(To
use as you please)
Cheers
till next
Best
regards
Jeremy
PS: The enhanced photos shall be
resent in future Circulars as soon as I get them, EDITOR)

Hi Jerry,
Nice to hear from
you.
I am
forwarding your emails and info to Ladislao, Nigel, and Don who have been
facilitating the boys so faithfully over the years.
Thanks
to the inspiration and the perseverance of Ladislao over the many year.
Please
visit the newsletter that Ladislao does in the blog that is put together by
Don, and Nigel will include your contact info in the database.
Please
make sure and get in contact with them.
The
newsletter and blogs will have more and better photos.
And
you can update Ladislao with your journey since you left school to share with
the boys.
Blessings
to you brother.
Take
care......

Hello Kazim (&
Don),
[Wow, I'm so out of
it at this time!]
Kazim,
Was having a browse
around and discovered that you’re the webmaster for (The Abbey School) Mount
St. Benedict Alumni Association of Trinidad & Tobago - site.
I
don't know (or can't remember) you as an old Abbey School boy,
However,
thanks ever so for doing a lovely job and keeping us informed as you do.
Can
somebody email me some larger size version of the 'Class' and 'Scout' pictures
that you have on this site (with the name notes attached somewhere);
As I'd
like another stab at putting some names to some faces
One
(or two) of the 'scout' pictures look like the 'Coura Camp' of XXXXX (at this
time) that I attended.
And a
Lindsy Moffat + Charles(? - Or something) Moffat from St Lucia appeared
unnamed;
Things
like that I'd like to check. (If not already done by others.)
Now
this next comment is probably 'Old Hat';
You do
recall that 'Vush' or Father Benedict had his photo lab under the old dormitory
(next to the 'Seniors' room); out back.
Has
anyone managed to get all his negatives?
That's
an historic MSB gold mine!
PS is 'Vush' still
alive?
-------------------------------------
Nice.
What
qualifies as Alumni?
See
there is a list = Mount Old Boys (1945 - 1955); on the site.
Well
it also did 1956 to sometime in the early 1970's; when it all crashed out.
Can we
do this list of the next lot for this site?
Look
forward to a comment or two.
Very
best regards
Jerry

Hi Nigel,
Long
time no see The Snake Man.
Got
the eMail with the MSB Old Boys update (XLS file)
Will
get into that with glee when I get home.
PS:
Please update my eMail address with that as attached tobagojo@gmail.com
but net tracked, so I get the eMail via the back door.)
Hope
you guys are OK; and whoever else may be around; had a good Christmas; and wish
you all a + New Year.
May
your Gods be with you.

Thanks Jeremy
I
meant the in my files you do not have a resume of your life or CV.
And
for posterity is because some day someone I am sure they are going to write
about the famous ABBEY SCHOOL.
Good
to hear from you
I only
have one photo of you,
Can
you send me a couple??

Hi Ladislao,
Memories
of Mount?
I've got
dozens!
Ya, I
should write something, and soon before I shuffle.
I'll
work on it, that's a sort of promise, yet the usual 'no guarantee'.
So
anon with that one, for now.
And
what does <and have no CV for posterity> mean?
It
could be about a Mount story; or,
on the
other hand, if you really mean a 'CV', try this:
Cheers
and best to all,
Jeremy de Barry

Thank you Jeremy
Could
you write on the most remembered moment at the school??
Just
two line would suffice.
The last
letter from you was on 2011.
and
have no CV for posterity
Let’s
keep the Circular going.
