Dear Friends,
Dear Friends,
As I have told everyone, I need to know who would like attachments, (photos) included in their mail???
There is a problem of returned mail because of “Over the Quota” in hotmail, tstt.net.tt, carib-link.com and such servers, because of small storage space.
I would like to suggest to those that suffer for extra space to open a new free email server for the Circular, such as yahoo.com, netscape.net, gmail.com and others that let you receive large volumes of email, but maybe you would like to set it aside for the “CIRCULAR”?
I am trying to keep the Circular’s size down to 500kb, although most are going to be in the 350kb range.
For those that have asked to eliminate the attachments, the size would be about 50kb to 70kb.
Please write your preference, I do not want to incommodate you!

What a fabulous update and thanks a million for keeping in touch.
I check in tomorrow for the Prelims, and on Wednesday I go through all the tests, so should know better where I stand (from where I sit) and will pass the news on.
Always a pleasure hearing from you, and all the very best to you both and your Clan. With love,
Art & Val

Dear Arthur and Val,
Time really flies.
Thanks very much for the up date.
Congrats to you and your family you have aimed for and achieved excellence.
I am always rather reluctant to talk about myself.
Sometimes I simply say click on www.itlos.org and on judges then scroll down to Anthony Amos Lucky.
It is all there.
I assure you that I do this in all humility.
Cintra and I have four daughters, two are married.
Cindy-Ann is a medical doctor and is attached to St.Pauls hospital Vancouver
She is currently Associate Professor Clinical Medicine UBC.
Her husband is a psychiatrist at UBC.
They have a three year old daughter, Isabel.
Gillian is a lawyer, practices here and is the MP for Pointe a Pierre
When her party was in Government she was the Minister of Legal Affairs and acted as Attorney General in the absence of the A.G.Elizabeth lives in Ancaster, her degree is in Industrial Management and accountancy.
She is married and they have a son, Matthew, now three and a half years old.
Antonia, the youngest, lives here she has a masters in Environmental Management and is employed with the National Gas Company as the Environmental and Safety Coordinator.
Cintra retired as a graduate teacher and ended her career as Vice Principal of Presentation College San Fernando.
She was a teacher at St.Josephs' Convent for 25 years before moving to Pres.
She is currently the Chairperson of the Tableland High School
The Headquarters of International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, ITLOS, is in Hamburg
The Court sits there.
Since my election at the UN in September 2003 we have had to be in Hamburg
Cintra accompanied me on four of them.
On the last visit, two weeks ago she visited the Baltic, Lubec and on German unification day a holiday there I was able to accompany her on a brief two day visit to Berlin
Cintra used to teach Geography and loves the subject, memories of Fr.Ildefons.
God has been and is being good to us.
With kind regards,
Anthony
(Is there any way to get these memories on a paper? No one has the necessary prose to write on Fr. Ildefonse? Ed.)

Subject : Life today
Dearest Cintra & Anthony,
How is life with you two?
Guess that you had a marvellous tour of Canada
Anthony, did you get to Europe for your Judicial Adventure?
Must have been a fabulous opportunity for you (just to be offered the challenge).
Val & I have completed our Year of travel, gallivanting about the (restricted) World, visiting family and friends and generally having a ball.
Started in Sept '04 at our Island Resort, finishing off our summer, and 'falling' into the colder month till mid Oct.
Our Eldest daughter and family (three) took over our house for the Year.
From mid Oct till mid Dec we drove through the U.S.A. from Maine, along the Eastern Coast to South Carolina; then cut across towards Louisiana, spending a few days at each stop (visiting & sight-seeing); then through the pan-handle to Florida (north); and swung back up the Eastern States once more before carousing back to jolly old Canada, in time to spend Christmas with the 4 siblings of ours here in Nova Scotia.
After that we shunted off to Tobago (as in Trinidad) for 3 months; where we were swarmed with relatives, and other wonderful people; settled daughter (F) Fleurette in Tobago; where Fr. Ildefons' teachings and scouting skills helped us (daughter & I) build a Tiki Hut of bamboo & coconut branches as their outdoor rec centre of entertainment.
In between, we took a trip to Barbados, where Cecil Ince hosted a Old Mount Re-Union of real oldies (the originals) including brother Jack & Scipio Soodeen (see Ladislao's latest Mount Bulletin) hope you are on the mailing list.
Then we returned through Toronto
Back in time to get the boat in the water, and open up our Log Cabin,(where we were temporarily housed - on & off - very backwoods like - one solar light - 4hrs - 8.00 to 1200 p.m.; no running water, unless you count running up the hill to the Cabin with a bucket full; plus outhouse, on the edge of a cliff - with fabulous view - known as "Loo with a View", where one sits, contemplates, and witnesses the goings on the Lake).
In June we visited Spain
We then went to Sheffield , England
Back to Halifax
Busy bees.
I am experiencing a little "Ticker Flicker" at the present time, and the Doctors are wavering between Lungs & Heart; so going through a host of tests etc., which all takes so much time.
So let us have some of your news, and if you have any old boys of Mount e-mail addresses, please send them on to me (and Ladislao).
Happy Thanksgiving, we celebrate that up here,
As ever, with prayers and love,
Art & Val

Ladislao,
We’re back in Trinidad , my wife having completed her studies last November.
We all came back in June and she returned for her last semester from September so I don't miss the warm climate; I miss taking a drive without reinventing the wheel every morning.
My mobile is 868 680 7825.
Take care
bc

Dear BC,
Any news to tell?
Did your move work out smoothly?
Are you with you family?
Are you in London
How is the newspaper where you are working?
I have you in the listing but without a Form V graduation date, and of course no telephone number, can you provide it?
Do you miss the warm climate?
Hope that I am not intruding in your life?
Please inform me when you meet V.S. Naipaul.
God Bless
Ladislao

Thanks for the email.
I have changed my address for you.
Michael Scott's wife died last year so maybe that is why you have not heard from him.
I will write to him in the next couple of days and ask him to let you know if he still wants the circulars.

Dear Elspeth,
Thank you.
For further email use the kertesz12@yahoo.com, the other email are not opened every day.
Please ask him if he likes to read the Circulars?
I have no information or email from him since ever.
I need his resume and graduation year Form V and a photo is he has one.
Maybe his wife could help???
He is not getting the photos because of this.
Best regards
Ladislao
