Newsletter for Alumni of The Abbey School Mt. St. Benedict , Trinidad and Tobago
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.

Good Heavens, Ladislao,
I seem to have monopolised this week's Circular.
Hope that it gets some fans for the Website.
Keep well,
Don

Thank you Richard (Galt) and Jon (Golding) for identifying the faces in three of the photos at: http://groups.google.com/group/Abbey-School-Mount-St-Benedict
I have noted up my photo album in case anyone ever asks for names in the future.
Anyone else willing to have a go?

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
Dear Don
Hope to read all the past mail, August ++++ soon and get back on line.
How was your sojourns in London

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I am off to London in a week's time to continue research at the Public Records Office at Kew on the historical documents relating to Anguilla .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
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

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
