Caracas, 29 January 2011 No.482
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Friends,
From here on, I shall be resending the old Circulars to complement your emails.
There has been a slow down on new information, I presume that all of you might have run out of time and or remembrances.
No worry, the Circular is ready to publish your DUES for this year.
-------------------------------------------------------------------.
Newsletter for past alumni of The Abbey School, Mt. St. Benedict, Trinidad and Tobago, W.I.
Caracas, 1 of December 2001. Circular No.2
Dear friends,
I have checked the email address and corrected those that have been left undelivered, so I hope this second circular has better luck.
The bulletin msb mount inside 6407, year 1964, month July, starts at page p01, so if you missed any please ask for the missing pages.
I have the following names that maybe someone can give me a clue as the email address, whereabouts, Form V graduation date, nickname, and any information that might be useful to be used for the index that will appear in the reviewed web page.
The column published by Wayne is last in the attachment so please open it manually. He has interesting viewpoints on general world affairs and he is one of the select few that lived a special time in a special place and was our classmate. I hope that he does not mind my sending it to you.
God Bless

Hello Tony,
I was at Mount from 1953 to 1959 when I left to go to school in The States.
My brothers Brian and Donald had left a year earlier.
I presently live in Edmond, Oklahoma.
I have been enjoying the web site and thought that I would share some old photos that I had scanned in to my computer.
The web site brought back many fond memories.
Many thanks to you and Ladislao.
Best regards,
Christian

How can I help?
Let me know how much would be appropriate and where to send it.
Also, what would be most convenient cashier’s check or some other method?
Please let me know.
How are things in Venezuela?
Brian is always crying the blues.
I hope that the situation improves.
Best regards.

I well remember Erin.
But, Pancho? No.
I did not begin smoking until the advanced age of about 16.
So, I guess I had no reason to.
Please contact Fr Cuthbert!!

OF COURSE!
I do remember Pancho, and Mr. Tom.
But Erin - no, I don't know him.
Sounds like a character, though.

Hi Nigel,
Two VIP's who really was a part of the Mt experience.
ERIN & PANCHO
Erin was the head janitor.
He worked alone for many years before his helper was hired.
Erin had a limp due to infantile paralysis and the only self defence move ever created at the Mt was named after him.
The move comprises of jamming the sharp point of your knee into the opponent's thigh muscles with all your force.
The result?!
A severe pain and debilitating limp for a good 15 minutes!
Erin lived off the Mt road just below the new Seminary on the right, in a small shack with his ever smiling Indian wife.
He was generous with his Anchor Specials if you didn’t ask him too often, as any of the smokers will tell you.
Pancho looked like his name; he would have looked even more so wearing a sombrero of course.
Contact Fr Cuthbert. He probably made out their pay checks.
Best wishes, Eden

Thank you Ben for the email
Please help me with other of your classmates, can you remember those that were with you?
When did you graduate Form V?
Can you tell us about yourself, just a couple of lines?
I am still missing Julien Hutton. Maybe I have the name wrong?
Are there any photos or other material from your time at the MSB?
God Bless

Some more thoughts by John Gioanetti
So out of the pot and into the fire.
When I returned from Australia, I started dating a girl, the same girl who had had the experiences I noted earlier with a MSB priest.
We actually used to date before as teenagers, and my parents would bring her up to MSM to see me I asked them to stop doing this as I did not want her to see me up there. Not in that environment.
Any way, she was very friendly with this Priest from Fatima, and would insist that we go to his Mass.
Her daughter loved this Priest and would rush up to him after Mass and kiss him, and the three of them would chat for quite a while.
This g/f knew the story and after months of begging I reluctantly agreed to chat with the 3 of them after Mass.
She said "Father, you know John?” He smiled. I said, “Yes we know each other very well and I hate this man.”
He looked me straight in the eye and said, "John I was stupid, there were other boys that I could not discipline and I took it out on you, I have tried to make amends for it other ways, please forgive me if you can." I shook his hand and said, “I forgive you, thank you"
I later found out how he had made amends, and in my opinion he did something that was pay back millions of times over.
He uncovered a scandal at an orphanage were children were being sexually abused and stopped it.
If it took my back, and the guilt of a Priest, to save those children so be it.
We don't pass each other with out a big hello. I photographed his family reunion last year. I have shot a few weddings where he is conducting the rites; we always have time for a friendly word.
