Newsletter for Alumni of The Abbey School, Mt. St. Benedict, Trinidad and Tobago, W.I.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Friends,
This is going to be a short Circular, it is one that has difficulties in getting out and it is one of those that keeps up the backlog, so I am sending it out today.
Now a newcomer to new Circular era, the Blog era run by Don Mitchell.
Please visit the site and send us the blog comments so that I may write it in the Circular.
But before I continue I would like to make an urgent call to all Date´s and ask them to write a resume.
The list is as follows: ALUMNI: ROBIN, CHRISTOPHER, PAUL, ROBERT:

Subject: Greetings from South Korea
Dear Ladislao,
Greetings and felicitations from Seoul
To you and to all Mount Old Boys.
Ladislao, in this 'Land of the Morning Calm', diligence is highly prized; and you, sir, need take a bow:
I have been abundantly blessed by your efforts over the years in trying to contact me. Mea culpa:
I have had a thousand and one reasons for not writing to you before this, but none of them perfectly satisfactory.
For the moment, I'll be brief: my end-of-term fast approaches and class prep is insistent.
I have been teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) here at Yonsei University in Seoul
Koreans rank Yonsei in the top three of universities in this education-mad country. (Shh, how could a Trini, an Abbey School
Yuh ent see the good Lord have a sense of humour?
I once tried to do a class exercise using a recording of Rudder's 'Trini to The Bone', but they couldn't handle it at all, at all... & they pay me for this :).
I'll attach a few pityars (the Buddhist temple is a 5 min. walk from my ap't), and have noted my contact details below.
I'd better go: a Writing class calls my name...I'll try to contribute again, and soon.
And I would love to hear from one and all!
God bless.

Dear Gang Jeon We,
Thanks to both you and to Associate Dean Chai Hark for your excellent service in forwarding this email below to me.
I very much appreciate your effort!
I have never met the writer, Ladislao Kertesz, but he is the Alumni Newsletter editor of a school I attended 40 years ago in Trinidad (in the Caribbean ).
I will write to him and mention the great 'detective work' (by you in Korea and by my cousin Nigel in Canada
Sincerely,
Alan
