Tony,
Thank you for your generous donation of US $200 towards our Dalmatic Fund.
This has put us over the top and I can now pay our bill in full.
I appreciate your help, because without it and the help of so many other Old Boys we could not have raised the money we needed.
May God bless you and yours during this Lenten season.

Hello/Hola to all
My dear brother Trevor, (cc.CheChe)
Thank you, so much, for such details, from the Abbey school past, we, the ones, who came, many years after, are always intrigued by your stories.
I still go back, to past articles you have written, in the Circular.
You are definitely, one of our best historians, and a true Knight, a source of knowledge.
We must all thank you, for your time, in preparing, such a precious contribution, for all of us here, to share.
I am including you, on my personal list, of Old Mount Boys, I pay a lot of respect to, and would like to send you an email or two, once in awhile, if you don't mind.
Also, I do hope our brother (CheChe) Rafael Echeverria, makes contact with you, as he is working on the Chronicles of the Abbey School Old Boys Private Club.
Take care, Best Regards
Glen McKoy.

You did a nice job.
Thank you. if you wish to change the text, just go back into the file and do your thing. Then save it and email it all back to me when you're ready to do so.

Trevor,
That sounds like a great idea, with every donation you get a book.
We have to be able to make contact with the Abbot.
I think Peter is in the process of doing so.
After the results of this, hopefully we can make a good order of books, I want a book also.
We are still at ground zero organizational level, but its coming together.
Best regards my brothers, God Bless.

I have just received the Book which I ordered from Father Cuthbert by Email.
The cost of the book is $80.oo TTdollars and postage was $15.00 TT sent by regular mail that took 3 weeks to get here.
The book is very informative and brought back lots of memories.
I think it would be a good idea for most of us to send what we can afford over and above the cost of the book the remaining for the use of the Monastery this is only a small way of helping them without any embarrassment.

Invitations to Kitty Marcus and Iris Wilson
...jan 17 2010
From: Nigel P. Boos
Thanks, Attila.
I guess, then, that I have been incorrectly informed.
But no problem - that's why we communicate, isn't it?
If the whole world would learn to communicate, I maintain, we could solve every problem that exists.
Anyway, to business - Maria, please note the comments from another Past Student of the Abbey School
With very best wishes to you both.

Nigel:
Just a couple of small corrections: (not that it matters much)
Matron Wilson was not the caregiver at the infirmary; she was the seamstress in the dormitories.
Kitty Marcus was not the "science" teacher, Fr. Benedict (Voosh) was that.
Mrs. Marcus was the Forms 3. 4 and 5 CHEMISTRY teacher.

Dear Maria,
I understand from Deacon Lionel Roberts that you'd like to have the full names of Kitty Marcus and Matron Wilson, both of whom served us well during our time as students at the Abbey School Mt. St. Benedict , Kitty as a Science Teacher and Matron Wilson as the care-giver at our Infirmary.
I now wish to provide you with the information you requested. here are the names and addresses:
1. Katherina Kitty Marcus, St. Peter's Home, Mt. St. Benedict , St. Augustine , Tunapuna, Trinidad
2. Ms. Iris Wilson, Upper St. John's Rd. , St. Augustine Trinidad
We, the Old Boys of the Abbey School , would appreciate if a formal invitation could be sent from the Archbishop's Office to these two old ladies, to attend at the February 6th 2010 ordination ceremony of 24 Permanent Deacons in Trinidad , at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. We are presenting a gift of a dalmatic to each of the new Deacons, in honour of Kitty Marcus and of the Past Students of the Abbey School, and small memorial tags have been sewn into the inside of each dalmatic, bearing this information.
Kitty Marcus is now 91 years of age and is, I understand, too feeble to attend the ceremony. In fact, she is suffering from a medical condition which would prevent her presence at the Cathedral, and furthermore, I have been told that she would be a serious distraction to the congregation. Therefore, although the invitation should be sent, I seriously doubt that she will / should attend.
Mrs. Wilson, on the other hand, will be able to attend, but she will need help in getting to the Cathedral. I understand that her son, Salah Wilson, a resident of Montreal , Canada , and an Old Boy of the Abbey School will be present in Trinidad , and he has indicated that he intends to attend the ceremony himself. It is reasonable to expect that he should be able to accompany his mother to the Cathedral, so, if Kitty Marcus does not attend, perhaps Mr. Wilson might be able to sit alongside his mother in the space that would have been occupied by Kitty Marcus. In such a case, it would be helpful if two seats can be reserved for Mr. & Mrs. Wilson. I have no idea whether Salah's wife is accompanying him on his current visit to Trinidad , but if she is, I am certain that she would also wish to attend the ceremony at the Cathedral.
Thank you very much for your kind help in this matter.
With very best wishes.
Nigel P. Boos
P.S. For your information, Ms. Charlotte Julien is the Director of St. Peter's Home, where Kitty Marcus lives. Charlotte

Pictures of the newly ordained deacons?

From: Nigel P. Boos
Dear Ms. Afong,
I'm very happy to know that the Ordination ceremony for the 20 new deacons went off well.
Praise be to Jesus Christ!
Would you, by any chance, be able to send me one or two photographs of the new deacons, please?
I want to send out a full report to the Past Students of the Abbey School Mt. St. Benedict , who contributed to purchasing the dalmatics, and I would like to include a photograph, for their information.
With very best wishes.
