Dear Friends,
From somewhere in the Atlantic we received news, these and the other emails from Glen Evelyn are reproduced for the enjoyment of those that were his friends.

Next time you lace up your running shoes map out HILLS and Cuttys corner.
And before you go slurping and gulping put your fist to your sternum.

So how come we did not get this yummy yogurt instead of the crappy stuff they made us eat and charged our parents as if we were dining at a 5 Star Restaurant.
Guess I should not complain after nearly five years at mount I was 40lbs lighter than when I went

Yes, I did recognise some of the senior boys like Knox, Pugh, O Connor.
It was a pleasant learning experience.

Dear Glen,
Not so fast, keep the check book in your pocket.
It is 50 words per year.
And what news have you on the photos I sent??
God Bless

Lad,
Thanks for the DUE reminder.
Patience is a virtue.
Don't write me off as a bad account.
I'm only 10 years beyond your 5-year terms.
Please let me know the procedure to send the plata.
Sincerely
Glen.
(I am sure you would get the attention of others if you printed this privileged information (capital letters ) in your next Circular.)

The Lord put it on my heart to send you a smile from the Atlantic ocean .
How well I remember the past.
It lends value to the present.
Saludos from a very old Mt boy.

Lad,
I have been busy with wooden floors and trying to tune my heart to God's perfect pitch.
Out of the 109 guitars that I built I kept 40 and my living room looks like a parking lot.
And I am still waiting for you to put some prayers in your weekly paper.
All of us have become politicians. (Smile Colim)
Remember that song we used to sing ---
I cannot come to the banquet don't trouble me now ---
I have married a wife and bought me a cow.
I have fields and commitments that cost a pretty sum ---don't trouble me now I cannot come.
Where are the letters from David to God? Lets hear some Psalms from someone.
Time to take this hotmail account of yours one step further and invite our brothers that are going through times of grief and sadness to ask for prayers as God's power increases in numbers.
I know you will work out something so I'll leave the details to you.
As for me , I'm going to end this letter and go to sleep.
And pray for me.
I need more money, hair is falling out, reading glasses are getting thicker, everything hurts in the morning and I'm getting fat.
Your friend
Glen

Lad,
Thanks for reminding me that I am still a " Pax in Virtute " boy.
As you can see, I am answering you promptly this time.
Now as to news, this month makes it two years since I "dropped out" of Venezuela
Easter sunday is also our 15th wedding anniversary.
We bought an apartment in Ft Lauderdale close to the beach ( most of our plants are plastic) and no I don't miss gardening.
My wife Dawn works at Cafe Europa on Las Olas blvd and any Mount boy passing through Florida
Due to the daily milk and gasoline cost here in the US , I have been consulting cowboy style for Slb offshore California
Considerering retirement in about 100 years.
Only yesterday we went to dinner with some friends from Anaco (neighbours of Osca Cantori ) who have a Pavon fishing camp down at the Guri.
And yes we opened a bottle of red wine to celebrate the occasion.
I am sure (with a little help from Jesus) that great Benedictines like Fr's Bernard, Cuthbert, Agustin and Odo would have enjoyed turning it at Sunday mass.
Also I often hear news from Salvador out there in Lafayette Louisiana
