Dear Friends,
Slowly catching up, waiting for the Christmas
holidays, haha or better yet hoho.
Please start sending in the season’s greetings so that
I may include them in the Xmas issue.
It is sad that friends write when someone has passed
away, but not when alive.
As editor of the Circular, I would like you to
consider and would like to invite you to write and leave a legacy in the
Schools Archives, be it a CV, photos or remembrances.
To make your reading more enjoyable, listen

Shis,
I guess you
should really update the MSB OB dataBase re Norman Tang, adding in the details
now provided by Peter.

Hi Nigel,
Norman’s Contact
# (868) 325-8264;
E:
norman@tangpartnering.com
He lives on
Fisher Ave , Cascade.
Don’t remember
the # of the home.
He’s very much
alive and a devout Catholic .
He had 10 kids
and lost one in a car accident a few years ago.
My parents were
friendly with Sir Henry and your mother.
He may have been
campaigning for his friend Roy Joseph in the South.
They were all
independent candidates in the Bertie Gomes ( POPPG) era .
Regards,
Peter

Thanks for your
kind response, Peter.
QQ: Is your
brother Norman still alive?
Do you know the
years which he’d spent at MSB?
For the record,
where does he live now, and would he like to share his physical address, his
email contact and his telephone number with us?
I’m interested to
know which of my in-laws your parents had been friendly with.
I remember, as a
child, aged about 10, I guess, hearing your dad on a car-borne loudspeaker and
amplification system in San F’do, broadcasting his campaign message to us
Southerners.
This would have
been around 1953, I’d say.
Perhaps your
folks might have known my step-father, Sir Joseph Henry-Pierre, who had
operated for many years as a General Surgeon, in both the P-o-S and the San
F’do General Hospitals?

Hi Nigel,
Thanks for your
kind words.
Yes he died.
Life is very
short and unfortunately, there are no encores.
There were 2
Normans .
One was my Dad
who was part of the Colonial Govt.
He was from POS
and there is a street in South named after him
the other Norman
Jnr. is my younger brother who also attended MSB.
No need to correct
your records.
My Dad & Mum
were very friendly with your in-laws .
Thanks again
Nigel and take care of your family and yourself .
Regards,
Peter

Peter,
Please accept my
sincere sympathy at the death of Tilson.
He was just a
year ahead of my, during my time at the Mount, but I do remember him very
well.
May his soul rest
in peace.
Please tell me -
I believe that Norman Tang was a politician way down in Sando, during my
childhood.
But am I
confusing him with another Norman Tang, who may / may not have attended school
at MSB?
Depending on what
you say, we may have to amend our MSB OB Database.
Thanks.
Nigel

I’m sorry to hear
that another one of the Old Gang has moved on, Mike.
However, I thank
God for my faith, because I believe that Tilson has gone home to his Creator
and God, and I pray that his soul will now rest in peace in his heavenly
Kingdom.
George, I’m sure
you’ll adjust the MSB dB.
Love y’all.

Hello Nigel
"Nazi"
is none other than Myron, also known as Ronnie, Lew.
He is married to
a Canadian, they both are chemical engineers but he is in the precious gems
business, also doing business in the Netherlands and Belgium.
He and his wife
commute between Florida and Caracas.
They have two
grown sons, both in college, and both, from what I understand, also majoring in
chemical engineering.
Myron and his two
sons are professional tennis players on the side.
In his younger
days Myron and family would stay on vacations at the hotel that Salvador
Coscarart's mother, Theresa, owned and ran in Cumana in eastern Venezuela.
Hope that clears
things up a bit about "Nazi". His e-mail address is mlew@cantv.net
Best regards
Andres Larsen

Wonderful,
Andres.
Man! Didn't the
guys at Mount have strange names, eh?
Just like mine,
I guess!!
Say, did you know
a chap named "Nazi" during your time.
I never knew the
poor guy's name, but I always called him "Nazi".
Why? I don't even
know.
But he was a
great fellow, and in fact, i have a photograph of him, to share:
I thought his
name was "Nascimento" or something like that?
So, do you
remember him?
Regards,
Nigel
