Dear Laszlo,
I am very glad to forward you this picture of this little group of alumni from The Abbey School.
My congratulations for the great task you have done about the different memories of our beloved Abbey, it all qualifies as a great piece of work,
I sincerely thank you for it, together with all the other ex-alumni that are willing to give you a hand every time they can.
I haven't been able to be in Caracas, during your several invitations to dinner with our Abbey friends, but please keep sending me the information you usually send (I love it) together with dinner invitations, because I am willing there seeing you soon.
By the way, If we can't see ourselves during this December, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!!!

Merry Christmas . . .
As we share this time of Peace, Joy, Goodwill and Happiness, let is remember whose birthday we really celebrate, Jesus, and what he represents.
Spare a Prayer, or more if you can, for those who by circumstance, cannot celebrate. Be that circumstance family matters, financial difficulties, conflict, bereavement etc.
Let that Light, born over 2000 years ago be our guiding star and banish the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse out of our hearts and minds.
Let that Light, born in the humblest of circumstance, over 2000 years ago shine in our thoughts and actions the whole year through.
Merry Christmas . . . .
God’s Blessings . . . .

Dear Ladislao,
First of all I would like to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2012 with good health and a lot of happiness.
I would like to thank you once more, also in the name of the other MSB boys, for having had the perseverance, the energy and the dedication to keep us informed about our schoolmates who are scattered around the globe.
I do realize that this job isn’t getting any easier as it is constantly getting harder to dig up something new especially about bygone days.
Please try to keep up the good work as long as you can as I am sure that it has help to revive many old friendships which would have been lost forever if it hadn’t been for these circulars of yours.
With best regards
Csaba

Tales of the Knights from "White Stone", as the legend continues...
If you have never lived, on the magical mountain Tabor, surrounded by all boarders, then the following passages, will have no meaning, no logic and no reason,
If you have seen, and lived in this lost world,
we speak of, Hola, mi amigo, ahi esta.
Abbey School T&T./Old Boys/ Private Club/ members only.
Welcome my brothers,
Reflection from an Eagle's Eye.
As the sun shines down on Mt.Tabor, upon one of her peaks, the "White Crystal Stones" glitters and glows like diamonds. The year is 1985, it’s the last year, the Club will accept a brother as a Knight and the Abbey School, is officially Closed without notice, the past alumni is left in the dark.
Any proper school would have prepared or allowed its past students a place, address or something for connection.
This was not a fly by night operation; this was a well respected institution.
A place all Knights still considers sacred and special.
It seems like, once profits were made, and the business was done, this is all it was for some.
Not so, for others who taught us, and took care of us, and fed us, they knew that we were Knights', and that one day, we would find them and thank them all, as we still walk in the Light, today.
A few past students began little gatherings with boys of their time, these little gatherings spread all over the world, little circles would be formed.
A fire started to burn, as the legend continues, mystery surrounded by silence,
Why? Without closure, the closing of' the greatest boarding school, in the British West-Indies, since 1942-1985.
The Think Tank,
The Intellectual Zoo, of ideas, experiments and inventions, absolute freedom of thought. This Machine a few wise Monks built, from just a dream they all had, as young Monks during the 2nd world war, living in Holland, for they were the first dreamers, but not the last, then came the Knights.
They climbed up to "White Stones" with their feet, but when they left, every single Knight of that Castle in the Sky, from all Boarders, had Wings, they flew away, from the top of "White Stones", and no one knows, if they would ever return.
They left the Mount, they way they found it.
This we know, that a sacred, secret, invisible "Realm", remains in Cyber-Space.
No Knights lives in the Castle anymore, however the Castle lives in all Knights, as written in the book, "The King of Hearts, Reflection of an Eagle's Eye, by the Knight of Dreams 1962, as the power of One, in the power of Now, Long live the Knight, long live the Mount.
The Abbey School, we stand alone, we will protect our own.
Only a few wise Monks knew, that in the passage of time, and with their Wings of freedom, these Knights would wonder all over the world, the knowledge they attained, and the wisdom to be gained.
One Monk said to another, “Do you think they will ever remember?? The Dream of a few wise Monks, the creation of the "Abbey School", what would be the out come, of this creation??
A school of International Standards, well known in its time, these Monks toiled and laboured their entire lives, to achieve their goal, in materializing this dream.
This their offering to their maker, "The Abbey School of Trinidad and Tobago, Mt.St.Benedict, they prayed, that only good and great things may come, from this dream, that became a reality. The Mount.
What may seem like the end of an era, the closing of the school, the end of it all for some.
The Acorn that was planted, the "Abbey School of Trinidad & Tobago, became a big old Oak Tree of a Club, and is more active and alive than ever, the Invisible Tribe, the Imaginary Friends, you had to be there to know, how so true, having the times of your life, yes I am talking to You! A well kept secret, "The Realm of Hope, from the United Time Zone of One, transmitting in the Power Of Now.
Thanking all my brothers for their time, good cheer at all times,
Best regards
Glen McKoy.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012
This is going to be the best year of your life yet.
2011 is now in the past and let us leave all broken dreams, difficulties, and angers there as well.
We are in the early stages of the second decade of the 21st millennia and as we enter 2012, let us resolve be the change we wish to see.
Jesus didn’t give us the Spirit of fear . . . .
Let us therefore march confidentially into 2012 walking on the path that God has chosen for us, secure in the Faith that wherever His name in invoked, no harm can come to us.
Let us live Jesus’ wish “Love one another as I loved you”.
May the Lord Bless you so abundantly that you may, in turn, be a Blessing unto others.
Our God has not brought us this far to leave us now.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!
Chandra R. Teelucksingh
