Gentlemen,
The attached is self explanatory.
Past students of the 1950 to 1956 era would have known the late Fr. Francis.
May his soul rest in peace.
Regards,
Anthony

Hello again Jan:
Although I am not "Doetch" as you say, I used to fly with KLM via Paramaribo to Schiphol, Amsterdam
I know that KLM stands for Koninklije Luchtmachtschapijj and I love dark bitter Van Houten and Droste chocolate which are incidentally made from premium world class Venezuelan cocoa.
I am e-mailing you attached comments regarding Abbey School MSB Circular Nr.229 which I received from Fr Christopher via his e-mail address: htt41@hotmail.com
It includes an update on all the Benedictines at the Mount, deceased as well as living, and also a special update on Kitty Marcus who is in her nineties in the old people's home down by the sports field on the way to Tunapuna.
By the way, maybe Fr Christopher could have God willing an update on Josh Schoemacher in Hawaii
It might be well worth asking him.
Groeten van Andrés Larsen

Dear Andres,
This is Fr Christopher.
Upon reading your memories I felt compelled to update you a bit.
I still have vague memories of you and some of the others you mention.
I believe you had more contact with my cousin Fr. Edward, who
unfortunately died at the relatively young age of 50 from cancer about 17
years ago.
I myself left to study for my theology doctorate by the middle of 1966 and when I returned you had left abbey school already.
I want to refresh your memory of some of the other priests who are still with us today: Fr. Benedict (Vush),
Fr. Augustine (Rughead),
Fr. Odo.
You may also remember Br. Gerard (or Rupert as he was then known).
Miss Kitty Marcus is still among the living and retired to a nursing home which we opened some twenty years ago near the sportsfield.
She is in her nineties.
Her mind is still very clear and if you go to see her you must at least put aside some two hours.
She does ask for you from time to time and remembers you very well, you were one of her special boys I get the impression.
Mr Basanta still lives down the road not far from the abbey.
The many others priests you must have known have all passed on (Frs. Bernard, Peter Canisius, Chrysostom Lee Singh, Francis, Abbot Adelbert, Br. Camillus of the apiary, Fr. Gregory and his brother Theo and so many others.
You must try and visit us some time after all these years.
You will be most welcome.
Wishing you the very best and especially a glorious Easter.
Fr. Christopher
(Any way for Mr. Basanta to receive the Circular? Ed.)

Dear Roger
My regards to Micheal, sorry I have not been able to take my ferry trip to TT.
I am sending you a photo for which I have no abundant names.
Can you fill.
I presume that you are not getting the Circulars???????., since you always were a good commentator.
But now you can get them in a BLOG fashion for easy reading, thanks to Boxhead.
Best regards
Ladislao

Dear Roger
Finally what happened??
I lost track of the visit, due to travelling in November and December.
You may have noticed that I have not caught up.
You changed Jobs??
God Bless

I would certainly be prepared to help, and possibly a committee should be formed.
Dinner at Xmas is always difficult as there are usually so many things going on.
I would suggest a lunch or an after work gathering one day with drinks and snacks.
I could possibly do something at the Oval where we have a bar and a food caterer, just to make things easier and less expensive.
When is he coming?
Roger
