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It was inserted 12 years ago :-) :-)  And, the pacemaker itself is obsolete.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

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.
Cheers

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,

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.
