Hola Salvador:
Te escribo nomas para informarte que no me he olvidado de tu video.
Todavia no he podido grabarlo a un CD porque mi computadora me esta dando lata y no quiere reconocer el "analog video capture" card que instale.
Pero estoy en la lucha y dentro de poco lo lograre.
Y si no, entonces pienso comprar una grabadora VHS <-> DVD.

I write to inform you that I have not forgotten your video.
I have not been able to record it to a CD because my computer has been giving me trouble and does not want to recognize the "analog video capture’s" card that I installed.
But I am in the fight and soon I will obtain it.
And if no, then I am thinking of buying a VHS to DVD recorder.

Caracas, 19 of August 2006. No. 250
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Friends,
Today is 3 of December; this Circular was to have been sent out on the 19 of August.
I am still under lots of work pressure, but I wanted to let you know that I am well and hope to resume the regular mailing soon.
I nearly lost the email servers that I use to get the Circular to you because of lack of use.
As you have noticed, I am a few Sundays behind but I have had first computer problems and apparently these have been solved, and then work problems, these on the good side as we have had lots of orders.
This is going to be short; I hope that the Blog page is taking its load.

Someone has complained that they cannot locate some of Ladislao's old Circulars on the website.
It isn't difficult.
I can only post 5 or 6 of them on the front page.
If there are too many, I get a fault report.
So, only the last ones are on the home page.
The rest of them are in "archives" over on the right hand panel.
Let us say you are in 2005 Circulars http://abbeyschool2005circulars.blogspot.com/ , and you want to find No 166.
On the home page there are only 216-217.
No 166 is one of the earliest.
In archives, you see I started entering them on 14 May and completed on 17 May.
Just go to 14 May, and you will find No 166.
Hope that helps.

Fellow Mount Boys,
I have refreshed 20 of the photos that have not yet been identified by posting them over again.
[The ability to comment on a posting is lost after 30 days, and these are now long past their sell-by date.]
Please have a look at the last 20.
They are numbered 40-53.
[Sorry about the mis-numbering of some of them, but you can work it out.]
If you recognise the names of any of the boys, or the incident, please post a "reply", or send me an email and I shall post it for you.
Don

Fellow past convicts,
I am off to London in a week's time to continue research at the Public Records Office at Kew on the historical documents relating to Anguilla.
I may not be as quick as usual to attend to posting the Circular and other matters.
It depends on whether I can get a convenient connection to the web.
If you are in London, my telephone number will be: 077888 01342.
The phone will be turned off while I am in the Archives.
If you get a voice message, it will be Maggie, who used it last, and I may not be able to work out how to change the message!
Just leave me a message and I shall get back to you.
All the best,
Don

Hi Edgar
It’s good to hear from you after so long, I have been in Canada since 1975.
I have lived in Nova Scotia all that time, Hudson live in Toronto, so the guys in Toronto I don't know.
But that is a good idea; I will try to see if we could get a reunion in Toronto going, because there a good few mount boys in Canada.....
Bye for now Glen
I have two week off in August so I will live the life of a gypsy

Glen,
Good to hear from you too.
It’s nice to read or hear that some old friends from Mount are still alive.
First I most apologize for not having reply to you earlier, but I was on some days off.
I work for a Gas compression company (Hanover compression limited partnership) with main office in Houston Texas.
They have other offices around the world.
Their biggest operation facility is in Venezuela.
Glen and I are always in contact thru e-mail.
You remember my brother Eloy????
He is working for PDVSA, the government oil company; his e-mail is moffiea@pdvsa.com (Moffie Andres).
They are using his second name.
I will forward him your e-mail.
Just to let you know his e-mail access is under control so don’t say anything about politics if you write him.
Two years ago I did see Villafana, he is running his father’s business.
But it was Carnival season so it was not easy to get in touch with any one.
This year I went back during Carnival and made it back to Mount.
Father Cuthbert showed me the new business they have going on with Yogurt fabrication and sales in Trinidad which they expect to push to some of the islands around.
The Garners Chousing (Alloy and Junior Asam).
I also understand that Kelven Khan and Kamal Khan are also in Canada and so is suppose to be (Nazi) Lew Runi from Tunapuy in Venezuela.
I have heard that an old friend Adolfo Aumaitre (Tucupita) is a dentist, was in Bolivar but moved to his native home Tucupita.
I’m trying to reach him.
Have you heard from Salvador Coscarart and his brother Pedro???
Well I see what I can do in order to get more information about some of the old friends.
God bless you and take care of your self.
Regards
Edgar

Hola Salvador:
En verdad no me acuerdo de ti pero con toda esta intercambiadera de recuerdos si es posible that something or some event recalled might ring a bell somewhere in my memories.
So anything you remember involving me, repasamelo y de repente hago la reconexion en mis recuerdos.
Después de todo son ya casi 40 años y el almanaque no pasa en balde.
Veo que no estas tan lejos de Raul Leoni Jr. en Florida y de Ronnie "Nazi" Lew a quien aun no tengo ubicado alla en el Norte pero veo a su Mama de vez en cuando acá en la Iglesia Catolica Alemana de La Trinidad detras de Procter & Gamble.
Ella por cierto, antes de yo reconectarme con Ustedes en diciembre pasado, me dijo varias veces que Ronnie quiere otra vez ponerse en contacto conmigo.
Cordial saludo
Andres

In truth I do not remember you but with all this interchange of memories it is possible that something or some event recalled might ring a bell somewhere in my memory.
So anything you remember involving me, send it and suddenly I can make a reconexion in my memories.
After all everything is already almost 40 years and the almanac does not pass in vain.
I see that you live not so far from Raul Leoni Jr in Florida and of "Nazi" Ronnie Lew. I have not located him in the North but I do see his mother once in a while here in German the Catolica Church of the Trinidad at the back of Procter & Gamble.
She by the way, before I reconnected with you last December, she said several times to me that Ronnie wants again to put itself in contact with me.

Cuidado con caerte al agua con los tiburones!
Yo estuve trabajando en el Gulf durante 1984-1985 desde Lafayette, como piloto para Petroleum Helicopters Inc. (PHI) volando a las plataformas.
Me acuerdo que en las plataformas se comía de lo mejor!
Con razon todos los "roughnecks" y los "tool-pushers" se ponen tan gordos.

Taken care of not to fall in the water with the sharks!

Neil and I were in the Aqualads swimming team when we went to swim in Valencia Venezuela in 72.
We have been without speaking 32 years and today I called him from the platform and we are already going to plan a meeting in Florida if God wants.

So that when I return to home I will send a mail to him to refresh his memory of the times in the abbey, jajajajajajajajj.
