However, I do know for sure, because I witnessed the aftermath, that Richard "Mousie" Farah fell off a mango tree branch (I heard that the branch actually broke with his weight, but I can't vouch for that) when, one day, during our weekly trek to "Grounds", a number of the boys had gone off on a mango hunt. </span><span style="color: blue;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue;">Michael "Joe" Azar, I'm told, broke his fall, and was able to avert what could have been a more dangerous situation. </span><span style="color: blue;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue;">The net result of this accident was that "Mousie" broke his leg and had to be transported to the side of the MSB road, and laid on a bench under the almond trees, to await a lift to hospital in a Mount vehicle, in the company of one of the priests (I believe it was Fr. Bernard.) </span><span style="color: blue;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue;">The setting done of his leg was not well done, but I do not know the details. </span><span style="color: blue;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue;">As a result of this unfortunate accident, however, "Mousie" was left with a short leg, so that he has, since then, always walked with a noticeably different gait. </span><span style="color: blue;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue;">This has not in any way stopped him from doing everything that anyone else does routinely - driving his own car, working at his job, and so on. </span><span style="color: blue;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue;">Now, these are the facts as I remember them, but if anyone else can correct my memory and claim otherwise, I'd be only too happy to accept another version of the story. </span><span style="color: blue;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue;">No, "Sambo" was not, so far as I know, involved in the Whitestones story. </span><span style="color: blue;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue;">But look, I have a photograph of St. Lawrence House during a March Past from 1959/60, and there is a black kid in the picture. </span><span style="color: blue;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue;">I can't remember his name, and I'm not even sure if he was "Sambo", but he was younger than I, and perhaps, since you came to Mount 3 years after I left, you might remember his face/name. </span><span style="color: blue;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">-------------------------------------------------------------------.-</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue;">I was thinking of what I had said earlier, that "Sambo" had come to the rescue of, I thought, Michael Azar. </span><span style="color: blue;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue;">I now believe I was wrong. </span><span style="color: blue;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue;">I think it was Robbie Huggins who told me that, during the 1970 Black Power problem, he was driving along Long Circular Road in Maraval when he was suddenly accosted by a mob of angry black men who approached him in a threatening manner. </span><span style="color: blue;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue;">He was very concerned for his safety, when, out of the mob stepped "Sambo" who spoke to the others and explained that he knew Robert and could vouch for him. </span><span style="color: blue;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue;">This allowed Rob to get away from the area, which he immediately did. </span><span style="color: blue;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue;">I also heard that "Sambo" had died, but I cannot be certain of that! </span><span style="color: blue;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue;">Re. the Natalee Holloway story: </span><span style="color: blue;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue;">I find this very interesting, and of course it must be regarded as a major breakthrough in the case. </span><span style="color: blue;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue;">However, is the reporter saying that she "passed out" during sex, or that she died then?</span><span style="color: blue;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue;">Seriously, if she had only "passed out", and hadn't died, why did the young man / men feel that her body should be disposed of? </span><span style="color: blue;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue;">Surely, she would awaken eventually. </span><span style="color: blue;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue;">What do they mean by "passed out?"

Here's what Angela Pidduck, journalist, had to say about Renny:</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #2601ff;">“Renwick Harlan Villafana, known as “Renny”, a most affable man, recently passed away at age 55. A funeral service was held at Jesus Elam Revival Assembly International in Barataria, followed by cremation at the St James Crematorium. He was born in Aruba and brought to Trinidad at age five by his parents, from which time Renny learned to accept challenges as he was flung head first into a new language, new culture and new world, all of which he avidly embraced. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #2601ff;">Knowing only Papiamento, the language of the Netherlands Antilles and a smattering of Dutch, learning English was his first challenge. At age 12 Renny became a boarder at the Abbey School run by the Dutch priests, facing another challenge of separation from his parents and younger brother. He surmounted this, excelled in sports, honed his leadership skills, and was proud to be an Abbey boy. With a strong Roman Catholic background, Renny served as an acolyte in his St James parish church for many years. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #2601ff;">On leaving school, Renny threw himself into the family’s medical supply business with the same passion that he attacked everything else in his life. And when with his wife they started the home care centre, the Villafana reputation for excellence, quality and service continued to grow throughout the hospitals and nursing homes in Trinidad and Tobago. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #2601ff;">It was important to Renny to continue to search for ways to be on the cutting edge of the health care field. He had the knack for finding anything, and it was common knowledge that if you could not find a product anywhere, check at Villafana’s.”</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black;">Nigel Boos</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #790619;">Tim Mew MHC</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">3 ene 2010</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: maroon;">Hi Guys,</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: maroon;">Some success at last for Michael Correia and you can now include him on your emails.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

Koalas.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: maroon; font-weight: normal;">The fire front was sometimes as high as four or five story buildings and moving over 100 K's / hour. The fire balls were "spitting" 40 K's ahead of the fires and the embers & ashes were as if raining fire.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: maroon; font-weight: normal;">Now with this apparently quite different fire behaviour the news is "If you can see the flames it is too already too late", do not try to run away and if you have made plans in advance for the fire, stay inside and try to fight it and save the house, seems hard but either leave early or stay.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: maroon;

font-size: 11pt;">: <span style="color: #ff1522;">I am a catholic from a baby, but I have grown beyond that as a catholic, I don't follow all institutional laws made by men, but stay close to the teachings of Christ himself"</span> </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6pt;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">Now, my understanding is this: </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6pt;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">1. Christ established a Church, and gave authority to Peter (Matt 16:18) to bind and to loose (Matt 16:19) “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6pt;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">2. Christ ALSO said, "The person who listens to you listens to me, and the person who rejects you rejects me. The person who rejects me rejects the one who sent me." (Luk 10:16) </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6pt;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">I conclude from this that by the AUTHORITY given to him, Peter (and his successors) have the power and the right to speak in God's name and to make laws. Anyone refusing to follow these laws, or who therefore rejects them, basically, rejects Christ. </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6pt;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">I cannot understand, therefore, what you mean when you say that you "stay close" to the teachings of Christ himself. Either you accept the laws instituted by his Church (you call them 'institutional laws made by men') or you reject them. If you reject them, then, according to Jesus Christ, you reject him. </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6pt;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">Is that how you see things? </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6pt;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">Nigel P.

font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">Well, to sum it up, the oldest brother Lester of the Gomes family, (with whom I had a special bond because of the game of tennis which I dearly loved), was in ill health in Arima, Trinidad, where he lived. </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">Lester was a tennis champion, and later on coached clubs and organisations. </span><span style="color: blue;

font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">Well back in Trinidad later that same week, Lester got a seizure and died suddenly. </span><span style="color: blue;

font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">When they returned to Trinidad, and made arrangements of Lester's final service and resting, word came to them that Colleen had passed on. </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">So after Lester's funeral, the family returned once more to Canada to lay Colleen to rest there as she had children who resided there.</span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">We shared a very strong bond that we had as children growing up and I wanted to support this family. </span><span style="color: blue;

font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">And I remembered during my grieving period the tremendous support we got from the Gomes family. </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">So, I knew I had to give my own support to this family, especially their mom who I felt was courageous and I so wanted to share time with her and her family to somehow cushion the blows they experienced. </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">So I decided to stay on and spend my first Christmas in Trinidad since I moved to the US in 18 years. </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">What coincided with the Gomes tragedy was that the Mount was having a reunion and so I made the commitment to be there in some of the activities to reconnect and reminisce of the time I had as a Mount boy. </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">To walk the building and grounds as I did growing up as a boy was something I longed for many years in my adult life. </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">It was 'holy ground' to me and to visit my Mount home again was indeed so much a gift to me even under the unpleasant conditions with this visit to my homeland.</span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">I got to visit the Abbey School and Church grounds with a mass and a walk down memory lane, and a family day in Mayaro at Kelvin Khan's beach house the next day which was a Sunday.</span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">I did not attend the dinner, because I had gotten a ride back home to Arima with Franklin Kerry and he carried me to his home and there was a birthday celebration for his grand-daughter that same evening and night. </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">Franklin</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> became a close friend to me after this and I now enjoy a close friendship with Winston, his twin brother who I remembered playing tennis in the days of Lester Gomes my friend. </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">Since I had just recently started the website for our Mount Alumni, a great bond ensued with others. </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">I got to meet with Don Mitchell for the first time who encouraged me to continue my efforts with the website to support the tremendous work Ladislao and Nigel were currently doing and have made our Alumni so much vibrant. </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">This visit to Trinidad was a blessing to me, to meet and share and bond with my Mount brothers. </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">I am so grateful for the time I shared with those I met and my classmates as well. </span><span style="color: blue;

font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">While in Trinidad, and I had decided to stay on for Christmas, I was invited to attend Alumni Association meetings with the officers, which I did, so I could better serve the group with their agendas and passion. </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">A meeting was being organised with Ladislao, as a visit was being arranged for him in Trinidad. </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">I was so much looking forward to meeting with Ladislao to share my personal gratitude to him for all he had done and continue to do for our Mount Boys over the many years. </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">I thought of it as a humbling experience to me to meet him. </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">However, although I waited as long as I possibly could for the meeting with him, my time in Trinidad was drawing to a close, as I only have a Green Card status, and my 6 months away from the US was not something I wanted to play with, something my family had sacrificed so much over the years for me. </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">So, as Ladislao visit materialised much later than I expected, I was sad that I did not get to meet him and share things with him concerning continuing serving our Mount boys with this common bond of love we have for our school. </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">In addition, I did not share this reason of my US Green Status with the Mount Boys and especially Ladislao. </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">I sincerely apologise to Ladislao and all concerned for this oversight on my part. </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">I believe this was a missed opportunity that I was so looking forward to, and my hope and prayer is that one day soon I do get to meet with Ladislao and Nigel as I so enjoyed the meeting with Don and subsequent communications by email with him.</span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">On my return to New York, I had to assist my mom with moving as the lease with her apartment in New York was now ending with her landowners for over 10 years. </span><span style="color: blue;

font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">Also, I attended a Holy Cross College Alumni Annual Meeting, where I was privileged to meet Dr. Bernand Tappin, a former HCC Principal, who happens to be a Mount Boy also. </span><span style="color: blue;

font-family: Arial;">Monk of Mount St Benedict Abbey, Trinidad</span></i><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;"> </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;"></span></div><div class="msonospacing" style="margin: 6pt 0in;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">With a passion for discussing politics and a penchant for playing “All-Fours,” Bro Camillus took life seriously. </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;"></span></div><div class="msonospacing" style="margin: 6pt 0in;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">As the apiarist at the Mount for many years, he had a smile as sweet as honey, and a tongue that stung like a bee. </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;"></span></div><div class="msonospacing" style="margin: 6pt 0in;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">“Cammy”, as his brother monks fondly called him had a big heart. </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;"></span></div><div class="msonospacing" style="margin: 6pt 0in;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">He gave the appearance of a stern countenance, but always charmed those who ventured beyond this façade. </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;"></span></div><div class="msonospacing" style="margin: 6pt 0in;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">At his Confirmation in St John the Baptist Church, Plaisance, Guyana, on Trinity Sunday, June 11, 1933, Ivan chose the name Benedict, and in so doing prophetically indicated his future decision to become a Benedictine monk. </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;"></span></div><div class="msonospacing" style="margin: 6pt 0in;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">He was only eight years at the time, having been born on October 03, 1924. </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;"></span></div><div class="msonospacing" style="margin: 6pt 0in;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">At the age of 23, having read an article in a Catholic Standard edition of June 1947, Ivan Culley was drawn to the Benedictine way of life. </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;"></span></div><div class="msonospacing" style="margin: 6pt 0in;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">There were no Benedictine monks in Guyana at the time. </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;"></span></div><div class="msonospacing" style="margin: 6pt 0in;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">However, a visit by the late Dom John Chrysostom Lee Sing from Mount St Benedict in that same year captured his imagination. </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;"></span></div><div class="msonospacing" style="margin: 6pt 0in;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">It was Fr Lee Sing who had written that article which was the turning point in the life of the young Ivan. </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;"></span></div><div class="msonospacing" style="margin: 6pt 0in;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Two years later, on his 25<sup>th</sup> birthday, Ivan left his job as a Town Constable in the City of Georgetown to join the monastery in Trinidad. </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;"></span></div><div class="msonospacing" style="margin: 6pt 0in;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">And from that day, he never turned back. </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;"></span></div><div class="msonospacing" style="margin: 6pt 0in;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">On the successful completion of his novitiate, he pronounced his monastic vows on November 30, 1952. </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;"></span></div><div class="msonospacing" style="margin: 6pt 0in;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Bro Camillus loved to read and his favourite author was the Trappist monk, Thomas Merton. </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;"></span></div><div class="msonospacing" style="margin: 6pt 0in;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">He had a great love for the psalms and the rosary. </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;"></span></div><div class="msonospacing" style="margin: 6pt 0in;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">For those outside the monastery, he was well known as the apiarist behind the success of PAX Honey at the Mount. </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;"></span></div><div class="msonospacing" style="margin: 6pt 0in;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">A summer course on apiculture at Pennsylvania State University in 1968 enhanced his skills, which were not only employed at the Abbey, but also in Barbados and St Vincent, where he advised the respective Governments on various aspects of bee-keeping. </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;"></span></div><div class="msonospacing" style="margin: 6pt 0in;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">For his fellow monks, “Cammy” was known more for his community-mindedness, his sense and appreciation of the past, and his child-like trust in God. </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;"></span></div><div class="msonospacing" style="margin: 6pt 0in;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">He was a faithful friend! </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;"></span></div><div class="msonospacing" style="margin: 6pt 0in;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">We will miss him for these qualities. </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;"></span></div><div class="msonospacing" style="margin: 6pt 0in;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Cricket enthusiast that he was, he knew that some day his innings would have to close. </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;"></span></div><div class="msonospacing" style="margin: 6pt 0in;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">And this it did on Tuesday, 09 December 2003. </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;"></span></div><div class="msonospacing" style="margin: 6pt 0in;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">He was clean bowled, but he had batted well. </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;"></span></div><div class="msonospacing" style="margin: 6pt 0in;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">The game continues … the match is not yet over! God bless you Cammy! </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;"></span></div><div class="msonospacing" style="margin: 6pt 0in;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">LET US PRAY </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;"></span></div><div class="msonospacing" style="margin: 6pt 0in;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">All-powerful Father, by the resurrection of your Son from the dead, death has no power over those who have fallen asleep in the true faith. </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;"></span></div><div class="msonospacing" style="margin: 6pt 0in;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">With this confidence, we pray for your servant, Camillus, who served you in the monastic life while in this world. </span><span style="color: blue;

<div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Kitty seems to have lost touch with her entire family, as a result of the War, and the fact that her mother was buried at the Mount must have provided her with some consolation and support day by day, as she passed by her grave.</span></span></div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Kitty has left us now, but she has also left us an example of courage and conviction and of service which those of us who were privileged to have met her will never forget.</span></span></div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">May she rest in peace.</span></span></div><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span lang="en-GB">Nigel P.

<div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Each one of us I am sure will have had some special moment that we can think of when we remember Miss Kitty Marcus.</span></span></div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">For me it goes on even before I attended Abbey School (1963-1970) and even after leaving Abbey school many many years later. </span></span> </div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Living in St. John Village and my mom working in the 'College' as the Matron from somewhere between (1950 -1966), </span></span> </div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Miss Marcus would visit her friend my Mom at our home in the village especially at Christmas time, when she would pull up in her volkswagon and drop off her Christmas gift of which my mom would reciprocate with something like a christmas sponge cake (home made of course). </span></span> </div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This event continued for as long as I can remember. </span></span> </div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Miss Marcus was an interesting chemistry teacher and did give support to students when required. </span></span> </div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">As the sun goes down on all of us who were a part of that beautiful experience of attending the Abbey school. </span></span> </div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I just wish to give thanks and praise to the father above who gave me the opportunity to be a part of that experience. </span></span> </div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">It certainly has shaped me into being the person that I am today and I am extremely grateful for that and to all the brothers that I have come into contact with during that period, my sincere best wishes to you and your families and also to all the others who attended this great institution.</span></span></div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I had the great pleasure of re-uniting my mom and Miss Marcus when I visited Kitty Marcus at the Seniors home in 2007. </span></span></div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I also took my Steelpans and my wife and I provided some entertainment for all of the Seniors. </span></span> </div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I proudly gave her one of my Steelpan Text books. </span></span></div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">At that time Kitty was still active and requested that she introduce me before I performed. </span></span> </div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">She took the microphone and spoke. </span></span> </div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I did not think that she would have remembered so much about me and my mom and Abbey School but she did ...that chemistry mind was still functioning. </span></span></div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">We had a great time it was a great party with dancing and singing. </span></span> </div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Unfortunately when I revisited in the early part of 2010, she was no longer the same </span></span> </div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">...... the sun was going down and going down fast, but she was still able to recognize my mom and I and composed herself as best as possible .</span></span></div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I remember my mom taking some good Starch mangoes for her it was a real treat, she enjoyed it. </span></span> </div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I know that when you all read this little experience that you will join me in a silent prayer for this good lady...May she Rest In Peace.</span></span></div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Regards to all</span></span></div><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span lang="en-GB">Salah Wilson</span></span> </span><br />

<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span lang="en-GB">Some recollections of Kitty</span></span> </span><br />
<div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">You guys would take those plastic bottles with the spout, that had water in the lab, and every time she bent over they would squirt them up under her skirt</span></span></div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">One day Glen Evelyn heated a Geometry Compass with a lighter, and passed it to me.</span></span></div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">After I got burnt, I began to heat it up to pass it to someone else. </span></span> </div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Just as I got it good and hot with a Zippo. </span></span> </div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Kitty asked me for it. </span></span> </div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">She had it in her hand as was waving it around while lecturing me on the importance of paying attention in class. </span></span> </div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Then suddenly she felt the heat and as it burnt her, the compass went flying. </span></span> </div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I explained to her that I did not like Chemistry, and Physics was the One True Science, and I was doing an experiment with heat. </span></span> </div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">She took it in good faith and that was the end of it.</span></span></div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Of course the sex starved degenerates that I went to school with would always sinker and giggle, when Kitty went on about her Pussy (Feline Cats). </span></span> </div><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span lang="en-GB">In fact they would even encourage her asking about the well being of her Pussy and if they could do any thing for it/them.</span></span> </span><br />
<div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Of course all will remember how passionate Kitty was about Chemistry, and the easiest way to disrupt a class was to ask her about her Heroine Madame Curie. </span></span> </div><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span lang="en-GB">Kitty could talk for hours on that subject.</span></span> </span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span lang="en-GB">Well I hope she is in that big Monastery in the Sky, and mixing Chemical Concoctions with Madame Curie, but if Bobo is also there he will have them mixing Johnnie Walker concoctions for him...................</span></span> </span><br />

<div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I'm afraid that I really made a boo-boo when I sent out my first report on "Roti Night" by referring to you as 'Trevor'. </span></span> </div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Please forgive me - as Egan suggested, I must have had a 'Senior Moment'.</span></span></div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Cornel, Egan and you too have asked me to correct the report.</span></span></div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I have now had the time to edit the report, such as it was, and to use your name as your parents and not I, wanted, and I've attached this hereto, for your records.</span></span></div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">It was really great seeing all you guys again, and how marvellous that, in spite of the fact that some of us had never met the others, we were able to instantly connect and share our common memories. </span></span></div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I look forward to another visit from you in the future.</span></span></div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Don't forget - Lent starts tomorrow. </span></span></div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">God bless you.</span></span></div><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span lang="en-GB">Nigel</span></span></span><br />
<div lang="en-GB"><span style="font-size: medium;">----------------------------------------------------------------------.</span></div><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span lang="en-GB">Well, Roti Night has come and gone and we're left with some beautiful memories of friendships formed and associations re-made.</span></span> </span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span lang="en-GB">Terrence Ferreira had come in from New Jersey to visit his mother and we decided to get together to meet other OB's, even though we might have come from different MSB "eras", to share a roti and a Carib together.</span></span> </span><br />
<div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">And so it was that Terrence (59-65), Egan Baichoo (59-60), Cornel de Freitas (60-65), Carlos Guio (74-79), Hudson McKoy (69-74) and I (55-60) met at Rotilicious.</span></span></div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Cornel brought along his son Michael and his two grandsons, Lorenzo and Christian.</span></span></div><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span lang="en-GB">We also were privileged to have our wives, Maureen Baichoo, Linda McKoy and my wife, Jackie, with us. </span></span> </span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span lang="en-GB">It turns out that Carlos and his brother, Luis, were the last two Venezuelans to attend school at the Mount.</span></span> </span><br />
<div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Apart from the fact that the roti was wonderful, we were given a special treat when Terrence revealed his treasure box of memorabilia, containing masses of sports and athletic medals, his scout uniform, bushman's thong, scout belt, scarf, and badges including the treasured and now seldom seen Queen's Scout Badge. (The Circular is awaiting patiently to get the photos of each medal etc, for the record)</span></span></div><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span lang="en-GB">Terrence seems to have been quite an athlete and sportsman, and, as I understand, he was also the Captain of the Football and Cricket teams.</span></span> </span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span lang="en-GB">And therein lies a story.</span></span> </span><br />
<div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Apparently, the Abbey School was in the habit, as we know, of regularly challenging St. Stanislaus College in Guyana to number of sporting events, and, from what I hear, we seldom, if ever, won at football. </span></span> </div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Apparently, Terrence's dad, Mr. Ferreira, had always said that the Abbey School would never win until a Ferreira led the team. </span></span> </div><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span lang="en-GB">And so said, so done.</span></span> </span><br />
<div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">After his death, a neatly filed collection of newspaper reports was found among Mr. Ferreira's belongings, and Terrence presented these to us during our 'Roti Night'. </span></span> </div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">He asked me to hold onto his medals, paraphernalia and reports, and it just might be that these would be nice to have in any proposed Abbey School Old Boy Museum at MSB. </span></span> </div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I have these items in my keeping now, and would be willing to hand them over to someone responsible, once the Museum idea is further developed. </span></span></div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Thanks, everyone, for coming along.</span></span></div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Enjoy the pix.</span></span></div><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span lang="en-GB">Nigel</span></span> </span><br />

<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span lang="en-GB">Nigel:</span></span> </span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span lang="en-GB">Here are a few more updates for the next revision of the Old Boy database, that I remember regarding the list of Teachers and Priests at the Abbey School.</span></span> </span><br />
<div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">- I don't see the name of Fr. Theo. </span></span></div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">He was at the School from approximately 1966 to 1968. </span></span> </div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">He was not a monk but a parish priest from Rotterdam, Holland and brother to Fr. Gregory (the Duck). </span></span> </div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">He did not wear the Benedictine order monks' habit with the hood, but a parish priest's habits (in pure white) with a waist sash.</span></span></div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The story goes that he was sent to MSB as a punishment (temporary exile) because he had done something bad back in Holland, I think he broke his vows of celibacy or something like that. </span></span> </div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">It was never made clear. </span></span> </div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Anyway one year he showed up and he became the Fr, "counsellor" or disciplinarian at the school. </span></span> </div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">He had his office on the first floor centre, and that's where he administered the "licks" with a cane. </span></span> </div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I remember one time I had been sentenced to receive 5 "licks" on the butt for not doing my homework, and that evening, after showers, I went to receive my licks. </span></span></div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I wore triple underwear and stuffed some newspaper into my pants, but he found out anyway and he burst out laughing so hard that he forgot to give the licks and he let me go. </span></span> </div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">He was a very fair and practical man with a great sense of humour. </span></span> </div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">He was generally liked by most of the boys as a fair man, very personable and approachable when you had a problem. </span></span></div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">His sermons at Mass were always hilarious and interesting. </span></span> </div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">He was also a heavy drinker. </span></span> </div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">He loved Scotch whisky. </span></span> </div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">On many occasions he reeked of alcohol and was a bit tipsy.</span></span></div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Then in 1968 he returned to Holland. </span></span> </div><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span lang="en-GB">I understand he is deceased.</span></span> </span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span lang="en-GB">Maybe someone else can fill in more details....</span></span> </span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span lang="en-GB">- 98 - Mr Chow Fatt was not only a Geometry teacher but he was also my Advanced Math Teacher and my Physics Teacher.</span></span> </span><br />
<div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">- 104 - The first name of Mr. Basanta was David. </span></span> </div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">He had been a student at The Abbey School in the past (don't the years but it was in the 50's) </span></span></div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">He lived down south of the sports field. </span></span> </div><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span lang="en-GB">Every time we would take the School VW bus down to St Augustine, we would pass his house on the left (East side of the road)</span></span> </span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span lang="en-GB">- 114- Mr Julian was my Prep A teacher in the school year 1964-1965.</span></span> </span><br />
<div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">- There was a Mr. Carter, my English teacher in approximately 1965-1966 or so. </span></span> </div><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span lang="en-GB">He was the butt of jokes around the school because once in class he insisted that when you were in deep trouble and needed help, instead of yelling "HELP !", the correct way to say it was "I need some assistance please!"... He never lived that down.</span></span> </span><br />
<div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">There is a few more missing. I can see their faces but I am trying to remember their names. I will let you know when I remember them.</span></span></div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Attila Gyuris</span></span></div><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span lang="en-GB">MSB 1964-1969</span></span> </span><br />

<div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Well, it finally happened last Saturday Feb 6, 2010. </span></span> </div><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span lang="en-GB">After having to postpone this reunion for one reason or another, we finally met.</span></span> </span><br />
<div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">We were able to carve out some time out of our busy schedules for a long-overdue reunion at Joe Schoemaker's beautiful house in Orange County California. </span></span> </div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">We had been living only about 40 minutes away all these years without knowing it. </span></span> </div><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span lang="en-GB">The last time we saw or heard from each other was when we said goodbye at the Abbey School Senior dorm on the third floor as we were furiously packing in our cubicles to go home, after having sat for the last "O" Level GCE test, sometime in June 1969.</span></span> </span><br />
<div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">We used to know him as "Josh" at the Mount, but since his real name is Joseph, when he and his family moved to Hilo, on the big island of Hawaii, (right after we both finished Form V in 1969), his name in the US became Joe. </span></span> </div><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span lang="en-GB">So it is Joe from now on.</span></span> </span><br />
<div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Joe and wife Adrienne have 3 children, two older daughters (in their mid to late 20's), and a younger son, Matthew, 20. </span></span> </div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">His two daughters were not there, as they have moved out for jobs elsewhere. </span></span> </div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">One daughter is in Singapore and the other is married and living in the Middle East. They are both chefs.</span></span></div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Youngest son Matthew is still living at home and is studying at a local college to work in the food and beverage industry.</span></span></div><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span lang="en-GB">His charming wife, Adrienne is from Texas.</span></span> </span><br />
<div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Joe has dual degrees, one in pure Chemistry and then one in Chemical Engineering. </span></span> </div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">He made a career working in the food processing industry and now he owns his own engineering consulting company, TriTek Inc. </span></span></div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">He is fortunate to be working out of his home. </span></span> </div><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span lang="en-GB">His wife Adrienne runs the home office and keeps the books.</span></span> </span><br />
<div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">It was a magical evening, meeting Joe after 40 years of not seeing or knowing of him.</span></span></div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">He was one of my best friends at the Mount. </span></span> </div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">We were together in the house of St. Anthony, in the Aqualads swim team, in the Woodpeckers patrol in Scouts, and of course in all the same Forms in school for the entire 5 years we were there. </span></span> </div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">During "Parent's" day at the Mount, Joe's mom and dad always "adopted" me as my surrogate parents for the day. </span></span> </div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Sometimes, during the long holiday weekends, and once for the entire Easter vacation, he would invite me to spend it (when we were allowed to leave) as a guest at his house in the sugar plantation, where his Dad worked as a manager. </span></span> </div><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span lang="en-GB">Those outings were always so special for me since all my family was far away in Caracas. </span></span> </span><br />
<div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Also, there were quite a few girls in that beautiful compound where they lived in the sugar plantation, so you can imagine me, a Mount boy, suddenly let loose on unsuspecting girls,... girls,.. real girls, everywhere!!! </span></span> </div><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span lang="en-GB">It didn't really matter what they looked like. : - )</span></span> </span><br />
<div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">All in all it, was a wonderful evening. </span></span> </div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Joe and Adrienne are looking terrific and in good health. </span></span> </div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">We did a lot of "catching up" about our lives during the last 40 years. </span></span> </div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Interestingly, we hardly reminisced at all about the old Mount days. </span></span></div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Time just flew by, and suddenly it was time to leave. </span></span> </div><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span lang="en-GB">We will leave the Mount reminiscing for our next get-together at my house in Lake Mathews, where I will bring out all the old photos.</span></span> </span><br />

<div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-size: small;">{I am deliberately 'pasting' this response to your email 'inside' of the one from Nigel, Re:"SENIOR MOMENT', so I could point out the ones you could use with my other my photographs.}</span></span></div><em><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-GB">I am so sorry that I may have expressed myself incorrectly when inquiring why you didn't 'Publish' all of the photographs at the same time.</span></span></span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-GB">I do understand that this - what you are doing - takes up a lot of your time and at the same time, takes away from 'family' time.</span></span></span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-GB">I need you to know, as I can probably assure you, that I am not the only one that greatly appreciates what you do for us.</span></span></span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-GB">When you first made contact with me, It opened up memories, and in a way gave me new 'life' to be able to be reconnected with those brothers at the Abbey School, that played a very important part of my life </span></span></span></em> <br />
<em><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-GB">They were </span></span></span></em><strong><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-GB"><i>'my brothers'</i></span></span></span></strong><em><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span></em><em><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-GB">and I do 'miss' them.</span></span></span></em><br />

<div lang="en-GB"><span style="font-size: small;">Date: Wed, 11 Mar 2009 23:29:17 -0400</span></div><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-GB">From: <a href="mailto:kertesz11@gmail.com" target="_blank">kertesz11@gmail.com</a></span></span><br />
<div lang="en-GB"><span style="font-size: small;">Dear Cornel,</span></div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="font-size: small;">The pictures are with me or at least I believe that they are, as I have not opened the February emails.</span></div><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-GB">[ </span></span></span><em><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-GB">You are obviously very busy, so I can understand the backlog</span></span></span></em><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-GB">.]</span></span></span><span style="color: #7030a0;"> </span><br />
<div lang="en-GB"><span style="font-size: small;">I try to mix the photos to keep the old old and the recent to keep the ALUMNI interested, so six photos, one of your photos per Circular, might keep six Circulars alive, as I publish four photos per issue.</span></div><em><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-GB">I did not know about this before, but I can see your reasoning.</span></span></span></em><br />
<div lang="en-GB"><span style="font-size: small;">I have your letters in Circular No.389 also at least two photos.</span></div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="font-size: small;">Since I regard the Circular as a leisure stress free work, I take longer than some of you would like me to be. </span> </div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="font-size: small;">I get a little frustrated after being over 8 hour in front of the computer at work, as I do this between supper and going to bed, sometimes my eyes hurt at seeing the screen.</span></div><em><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-GB">This is a 'good' thing then, I myself enjoy being able to sit down and spend my time sending out emails to my MSB brothers, instead of looking at TV.</span></span></span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-GB">I find it relaxing and there is usually a 'return on the investment of time' - which is the response.</span></span></span></em><br />
<div lang="en-GB"><span style="font-size: small;">My idea of the Circulars is to gather ALUMNI and give them food of thought and be reunited with long lost friends. </span> </div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="font-size: small;">I started issue No. 1 with 10 ALUMNI and we are now with a few more than the number of Circulars published, I am sure Nigel agrees with the numbers.</span></div><em><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-GB">Absolutely astounding...!</span></span></span></em><br />
<div lang="en-GB"><span style="font-size: small;">I have about ten Circulars ready in draft format. </span> </div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="font-size: small;">So some news might wait for at least three months before published.</span></div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="font-size: small;">I only publish life or death news immediately. </span> </div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="font-size: small;">Sorry, that I have not reached to your photos as yet.</span></div><em><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-GB">It does seem to take a long time, but when you take the amount of info you have to deal with I can understand why.</span></span></span></em><br />
<div lang="en-GB"><span style="font-size: small;">Please think that the Circulars need material but if I use all material as soon as they get to me then there would be times when I cannot publish the weekly Circular for lack of material.</span></div><em><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-GB">Exactly what kind of 'material'?...do you mean photographs?</span></span></span></em><br />
<div lang="en-GB"><span style="font-size: small;">This is the only reason that the Circulars are still being published while other have failed. </span> </div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="font-size: small;">Old news remain old even if published as soon as I get them. </span> </div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="font-size: small;">I place importance to keeping a regular mailing system, to keep the MSB memories alive.</span></div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="font-size: small;">An example, those that wrote five years ago quite long essays, have not been heard ever since, they do not have even an updated photo to share for us to know if they are alive.</span></div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="font-size: small;">Usually I hear from their friend after they pass away, this has happened in over a dozen of cases.</span></div><em><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-GB">This is sad, am I to understand that shorter messages and an accompanying photo help? </span></span></span></em> <br />
<em><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-GB">I am hoping that of the group of my form V class, most are still alive and doing well.</span></span></span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-GB">At this time I also hope Richard Anderson, whom I haven't heard from since I did send an email/letter, is doing well and his family. </span></span></span></em> <br />
<em><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-GB">Is he currently living in Florida, and Stephen is still in Trinidad?</span></span></span></em><br />
<div lang="en-GB"><span style="font-size: small;">I have no excuse but please bear with me, and hope this is not going to keep you from writing.</span></div><em><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-GB">Oh yes, You do! This what you are doing is quite an undertaking, I cannot imagone how much time you have devoted to this amazing gift to all of us MSB boys ....Thank you so very much. </span></span></span></em><em><span style="color: #7030a0;"> </span></em><br />
<div lang="en-GB"><span style="font-size: small;">But you can always be sure that I answer all emails, sooner or later.</span></div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="font-size: small;">I extended my reply because those of the 1950s claim that I do not take care of them, it is difficult to cover 40 years in each Circular.</span></div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="font-size: small;">God Bless</span></div><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-GB">LAdislao</span></span><em><span style="color: #7030a0;"> </span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-GB">Because of you, I was able to re-connect with Terrence Ferreira, one of my class mates, contact and call Nigel, visit with him, organize an evening and even include the wives, reminisce about old times, laugh a lot, even eat a delicious 'Roti' and drink a real Carib beer, and I had the astounding privilege of introducing my son and my two grandsons whom I am so very proud of, thanks to you...!</span></span></span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-GB">Have a look at those pictures again and see the look on our faces.</span></span></span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-GB">What do you see, and this got started with a simple message from Nigel, that one of my classmates was coming up. </span></span></span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-GB">How about we get together and have a "Roti", and our tiny "ROTILICIOUS" mini-reunion was born.</span></span></span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-GB">Had it not been for you telling me that an MSB old boy was living near to me and gave me his telephone number. ---</span></span></span></em><em><span style="color: #7030a0;"> </span></em><br />

<div lang="en-GB"><span style="font-size: small;">Dear Arthur,</span></div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="font-size: small;">I have been looking for news on Fr.

Benedict. </span></span></div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: #00b050;"><span style="font-size: small;">All are invited. </span></span> </div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: #00b050;"><span style="font-size: small;">There will be a eulogy hand out. </span></span> </div><span style="color: #00b050;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-GB">I plan to be there. </span></span></span><br />
<div lang="en-GB"><span style="font-size: small;">Was he your teacher? </span></div><span style="color: #00b050;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-GB">Yes, I believe as a result I became an Engineer in the US and spent several years (US and international) in Project Management for the construction of Nuclear Power Plants.</span></span> </span><br />
<div lang="en-GB"><span style="font-size: small;">Did he take a photo during his time.</span></div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: #00b050;"><span style="font-size: small;">I had a long face to face chat with Fr. Benedict a few months ago. </span></span> </div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: #00b050;"><span style="font-size: small;">I saw several of his old Abbey School photos, including one with me and his student team launching a home made hot air paper balloon (about 2 meters diameter). </span></span> </div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: #00b050;"><span style="font-size: small;">I was about 15 years old. </span></span> </div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: #00b050;"><span style="font-size: small;">I vividly remember the launch experience/experiment, it was my initial big turn on to science. </span></span> </div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: #00b050;"><span style="font-size: small;">Fr. Benedict was kind enough to give me a run down on his exiting life from his 1933 departure from Holland on a cargo boat to the day we met. </span></span> </div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: #00b050;"><span style="font-size: small;">His end statement to me was: "I am blessed, I had a wonderful happy life." </span></span> </div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: #00b050;"><span style="font-size: small;">Ironically, I had a similar conversation with Fr. Ildefonse just two weeks before he died. </span></span> </div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="color: #00b050;"><span style="font-size: small;">Now I stay away from older priests (smile) </span></span></div><div lang="en-GB"><span style="font-size: small;">You live in TT??? </span> </div><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-GB">Looking to the telf number. </span></span><br />

please forgive what may have seemed to be outright rudeness on my part - rudeness was not on my agenda.- it's just that the days just aren't long enough and my energy level perhaps not what it used to be. </span><span style="color: blue;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="msonospacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue;"> With respect to my contacts with Nigel Boos - I had sent Nigel four or so photos, really just to put a face on the page that they the lads might recognise if perhaps they did not recognise my name - most generously indeed Alain Devaux did seem to recall me quite well indeed, as in fact I have also I recalled him - it has, after all is said and done, been a very long time since any of the MSB brigade saw me, and it may be the case when the truth is known, that I have a very forgettable face and personality, </span><span style="color: blue;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="msonospacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue;">in view of the fact that I had written Leary O'Connor what I had thought to be a fairly reasonable and friendly email, but nevertheless failed however to get any response whatsoever from him, which of course does unavoidably have a somewhat deflating effect on one. </span><span style="color: blue;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="msonospacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue;">By contrast however, I have had some level of on-going contact with the old School Hero, Trevor Evelyn, the guy who seemed to surpass everyone else at seemingly everything, who incidentally, I have discovered, was born on the same day as myself, i.e., 6Th November, (different year however). </span><span style="color: blue;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="msonospacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue;">I have to say that I am really pleased indeed to learn that his treatment has been successful. </span><span style="color: blue;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="msonospacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue;">I have also had the great pleasure of being in contact once again with David De Castro, who at the time I always knew as Dougle, who appears to be just as happy, cheerful, and buoyant as he ever was in the past, seemingly being every bit the same guy that I remember when at MSB all of those years ago. </span><span style="color: blue;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="msonospacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue;">However, even David had to admit that he only 'sort of remembered me' in spite of the fact that we did knock around together quite a bit off and on when we were both at the Mount way back when, (It would seem from the discourse that we have had with each other that we had both commenced as boarders in 1944 prior to the opening of the New School on the Mount) leading me to suppose that I might indeed be a great deal less charismatic than I had supposed, and perhaps also just plain forgettable when all is said and done. </span><span style="color: blue;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="msonospacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue;"> I had sent both Nigel and Trevor Evelyn photos of myself from times past.

A Synopses". </span><span style="color: blue;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="msonospacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue;">Having no way of knowing just what the other guys would write, I had done a fairly epic account of my experiences before MSB, together with a fairly detailed recall of most things that I remembered from the days at the Mount, explaining how my particular upbringing had made the event of being enrolled at the Mount a most traumatic experience for me, </span><span style="color: blue;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="msonospacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue;">Then recalling to mind various of the priests that I had known, at the same time recalling to mind what effect some of them had had on me, and then finishing it up by outlining what had happened to me after MSB right up until the present point of time - however, when I saw just how brief and cursory the other 'Old Boys' accounts were, mine seemed unnecessarily epic by comparison, and I realised that what I had done was probably not at all relative to the situation and probably was more fitting to a publication of my memoirs than for inclusion in your column - in fact just plain 'overkill', and that is why I did not send it off to Nigel, nor later to you. </span><span style="color: blue;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="msonospacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue;">If however you think that you want any of it, it is there for the asking - however if you do ask for me to send it off to you I would not want you to publish any of it if you supposed that it might have a negative effect on anyone. </span><span style="color: blue;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="msonospacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue;"> From reading the various emails that you have presented from time to time in your circulars, I have come to realise that I have evolved in a quite different direction to everyone else that I knew at the Mount. </span><span style="color: blue;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="msonospacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue;">I am very straight forward and perhaps too open-minded and outspoken, and also not at all religious (in a doctrinal sense) when compared to the rest of the Old Boys, </span><span style="color: blue;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="msonospacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue;">(having said as much, I have to tell you that I have never indulged in Alcohol, smoking, drugs, gambling, clubbing, etc., to the extent that most people who know me suppose at first that I am very religious), so I feel that I am now perhaps a bit of a misfit when compared to my old pals at the Mount, and it may be that things that I had to say in my Synopses might prove a somewhat too controversial for the general consumption and peace of mind of my old compatriots. </span><span style="color: blue;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="msonospacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue;">I certainly would not like to upset any of the 'Old Boys,’ or worse still make enemies of any of them - that would be quite unnecessary at this point of time in our lives. </span><span style="color: blue;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="msonospacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue;"> Should you want anything else form me do please feel free to contact me with respect to anything.

0in 0.0001pt;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue;">He then told me that Hudson Mckoy was on the West Coast also and he wanted to do the same. </span><span style="color:

<st1:city w:st="on">Hudson</st1:city> in thirty five years and it had been a couple of years since I last saw <st1:place w:st="on">Krishna</st1:place> and his wonderful family. </span><span style="color: blue;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="msonospacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue;">So it was on. <st1:place w:st="on">Krishna</st1:place> selected a wonderful Resort Spa with a fabulous restaurant and we decided to meet at 3:pm. </span><span style="color: blue;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="msonospacing" style="margin: 0in 0in

lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue;">My fellow olde boys I got there one time and we limed and hung out until about 8:pm that evening. </span><span style="color: blue;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="msonospacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue;">What impressed me the most is our families had never met before and my wife and daughter were interacting with Krishna’s and <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Hudson</st1:place></st1:city>'s family like they all attended the Mount with us. </span><span style="color:

style="color: blue;">I was so happy to hear my brothers Hudson and Krishna relate to their negative experiences at the Mount as great life learning experiences and have since utilized those negative experiences to grow and teach friend and family that when life gives you a lemon don't pucker your lips but rather make lemonade and market it with a smile. </span><span style="color:

you contact <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Hudson</st1:place></st1:city> and give this CD an ear. </span><span style="color: blue;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="msonospacing"

lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue;">Concerning one of the e-mails published in your Circular No. 437, written by Glen McKoy I do have to make some very clear remarks in relation to the content </span><span style="color: blue;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="msonospacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue;">(Please see the parts to which I make

<b>Free Mason organization</b> is by <b>NO MEANS</b> just a "club with essence of the great teachings for those who seek knowledge.</span><span style="color: blue;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="msonospacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><b><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue;">YOU MUST NOT</span></b><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue;"> be an upright person and believe in God to be a mason.</span><span style="color: blue;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="msonospacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue;">Last year I have read one of the most detailed publications on this subject, a book by César Vidal, "Los Masones" in which the author describes in very much detail the whole organization. </span><span style="color: blue;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="msonospacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue;">1) The free masons are banned as organization by the Catholic Church

style="color: blue;">2) They deny the divinity of Jesus Christ, and only accept him as "a good man" comparable to Mahoma , Abraham etc.</span><span style="color: blue;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="msonospacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue;">3) They consider the Bible, a book just like the Koran or others, and do not accept that the Bible was written by divine inspiration</span><span style="color: blue;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="msonospacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue;">4) They deny the Redemption of humanity by Jesus Christ's death on the cross and make a mockery of it,</span><span style="color: blue;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="msonospacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue;">5) They do not recognize the devil as the source of sin and evil but consider him as a <b>"</b><i><b>force created for goodness, which could be used for evil. It is the instrument of</b></i><b> </b><i><b>freedom or free will"</b></i></span><span style="color: blue;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="msonospacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue;">6) Free masons are advised “to act in public as if they were members of the locally more renowned religions" (whichever they are) BUT be loyal EXCLUSIVELY to the mason logia (This is why in the past, free masons have even infiltrated high circles of the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Vatican</st1:place></st1:country-region>, posing as the
