Ladislao dice:
MAURICE DID YOU GET IT???
Maurice dice:
Yes. I have it complete
Ladislao dice:
I HAD to make a completely new setup; somehow the forward does not work
Maurice dice:
Ok. So, now what was that about dues?
Maurice dice:
I assume you explained in a previous circular?
Ladislao dice:
You wrote some time ago 25 words, and the dues are 50 words per year
Maurice dice:
Nice photo of bro Ian, by the way
Ladislao dice:
Yes I have been asking for the 2005 dues
Maurice dice:
Ok - will work on it and send. Not at all unreasonable, why should you do all the work? Anyway, Ian has enough de Verteuil's in #156 to last for a week, at least
Maurice dice:
I mean #159
Ladislao dice:
Yes he did his homework
Ladislao dice:
I need something like that with photos
Ladislao dice:
Something to make those in tt envious
Maurice dice:
Will try. Don't have a digital camera, but could scan something.
Ladislao dice:
Please do
Ladislao dice:
By the way, did you help in digging the waterhole next to the sports field?
Ladislao dice:
Before the swimming pool was built
Maurice dice:
You mean the pool? No but I know it was put in while I was there.
Ladislao dice:
I meant the swimming hole at the river
Maurice dice:
Waterhole? don't know.
Ladislao dice:
It was done by the scouts??
Maurice dice:
Ohhhhh! Catchecam
Ladislao dice:
Yes
Ladislao dice:
Did you do you chain gang time
Ladislao dice:
digging the hole
Maurice dice:
No. maybe I was too young at the time
Ladislao dice:
Ok, the competition pool was built in 1956
Ladislao dice:
The other sometime in 1952???
Maurice dice:
Yes. I got to Mount in Sept 1955.
Ladislao dice:
Same year and month as myself
Ladislao dice:
In march the scouts built a tower at what was to be the new swimming pool ??
Ladislao dice:
I sent a photo sometime ago
Maurice dice:
Yes, I remember
Ladislao dice:
Photo by Roberto Bodimgton and also by Roger Ames
Maurice dice:
We were real Scouts then
Ladislao dice:
Was the tower built sideways and then raised??
Ladislao dice:
No insurance ??
Maurice dice:
Well, don't remember that much detail....fog of time, you know?
Maurice dice:
It was a real adventure, those days
Ladislao dice:
Can you remember any other construction project by the scouts?
Ladislao dice:
Like the bridge in the basketball court??
Ladislao dice:
I believe that every year something new was built?
Maurice dice:
Fr Ildefons had a platform structure built where we pitched marbles, and later they built a scout building on the hill just above.
Maurice dice:
You remember basketball, I the marbles. Same place
Ladislao dice:
Do you remember the bridge?
Maurice dice:
Maybe that's the one I was thinking of.
Ladislao dice:
Fr. Ildefonse rode his motorbike over it, Fr. Abbot was invited to the show
Maurice dice:
Were you involved in the construction?
Ladislao dice:
No I was not a scout.
Ladislao dice:
I have not worked out the riddle on how one became a scout, invitation?. you asked? You were called?
Maurice dice:
I think we asked, or some may have been invited. My bro Ian was already in scouts in Barbados
Ladislao dice:
It could be, it is not that I wanted to be one but I just do not remember
Ladislao dice:
I have sent you no.157 but thru yahoo
Ladislao dice:
You should get yahoo, it has 100MB storage
Maurice dice:
Could look into it. I think MSN is going to upgraded because of the competition.
Ladislao dice:
Yes and maybe I can send you the circulars without all the problems
Ladislao dice:
I sent No. 158, it has a note the you should disregard
Maurice dice:
True. Am I the only one having problems?
Ladislao dice:
No it would seem that all those with hotmail
Ladislao dice:
I have unified all hotmail to be sent by hotmail, and here I thought that it would make life easier
Ladislao dice:
Since November I have had difficulties with the hotmail
Maurice dice:
Well you seem to have fixed it now.
Ladislao dice:
Yes but I have to reload the circular every time
Ladislao dice:
Indicate if you receive no. 157 and no.158
Maurice dice:
No, #159 was the last
Ladislao dice:
I sent the other about 5 min ago thru yahoo.
Maurice dice:
Pls change my email to moedev@look.ca that will be one less worry for you
Ladislao dice:
Ok, since it is not hotmail then it shall be sent thru icqmail as usual
Maurice dice:
Good
Ladislao dice:
Send me a note if you get the yahoo circulars
Maurice dice:
Ok
Ladislao dice:
Do you know the names of the scout badges that you got?
Ladislao dice:
Also remember to ask Don Mitchell for the Circulars that you are missing, he has them all.
Ladislao dice:
idmitch@anguillanet.com, he just retired as Supreme Court judge.
Maurice dice:
Right. Thanks a lot
Ladislao dice:
Ok till next time, bye
Maurice dice:
Bye Bye

WHO is WHO
deVerteuil, Maurice - I have lived in Canada since leaving Mount, at first in Nova Scotia and Ontario, and then for the last 25 years I have been in Quebec where my ex-wife and I have raised three beautiful French-speaking children who are still teenagers. (Boy, Girl, Boy).
My oldest boy is studying to be an air pilot.
I love experiencing the world, and so I spent 1.5 years touring Europe, Canada and the US
Recently I have hiked in Africa and Peru , and last September I bicycled in Tuscany
I also like tennis and skiing in the winter.
This year I started a new career in partnership with a cabinetmaker in Ontario
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.
WHO is WHO
deVerteuil, David - I came to Toronto in January 1965 from Barbados
In 1966 a Trini friend Elizabeth (Muffin) Cadiz Belfast
We live in Oakville , Ontario
Andrea is a flight attendant with Air Canada and Mark is at Brock University
After 37 years I finally hung up my rugby boots and took up fly fishing and golf.
I have worked mostly in the graphic and printing industry and am presently starting my own company as a Broker.
(I believe that it is the last news that we are going to have from David, he has asked to be taken of the mailing list. Ed.)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.
For the Circular it is sad to be asked to be taken off the list, but now with the BLOG you can still see the Circulars without having to get the weekly mailing. Maybe David is right. Ed.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.
There is no WHO is WHO for Fr. Michael De Verteuil and no written reply in the last three years.
Hope he is all right and maybe a friend of his would be so kind to write me news, etc. so that he may be included in the dossier that I have for those that we know, are making news in the world.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.
REMEMBER TO PAY YOUR DUES, 50 WORDS PER YEAR, OR SEND A CHECK preferably from any U.S. Bank, to my address,: sorry but under the new laws of Venezuela, I cannot receive or send foreign currency, if caught I can be placed in jail for 3 years on the first offence, so please sent it direct to the Bank of America account of Ladislao Kertesz 02181 09151, Santa Barbara, California, USA.
For those that prefer this way to cooperate with the Circular and the expense that this generates. It is 52 issues per year.
God Bless
Ladislao
