Dear Friends,

From: CJakobszen@aol.com

Hello Ladislao,
First of all thanks a lot for having sent me various "Mount" circulars. I've enjoyed reading everyone of them and now I would like to participate more actively in the MSB circular mailing.
If you wish I can also send you in the near future a short rundown of my activities since I left Mount(1957) and since I left Caracas (1975). (I am eagerly awaiting your rundowns. Ed.) I have had, of course, contact to various Mount boys during all these years, and as I had been flying over regularly to Caracas till the year 2000 (when my mother died) I've had the luck to be able to meet personally many of my old and closest friends as Urbano de Fedak, Azier Atela , Isaias Farcheg, Ricardo Figuera, Roberto Lipavsky, Pedro Castro etc. Now that I haven't been travelling to Venezuela for a couple of years, this new communication method is in a way an excellent substitute to keep in touch with the old gang.
Besides that, now I'll have more time available for personal pleasures of this kind, first of all because my children have now become independent (my daughter Christine, 25 got married in June and my oldest son Gabor, 31 has set up his own company in Budapest and my youngest son Peter, 29 graduated from the University of Heidelberg.
Secondly, I'll be retiring at the end of May 2003 and right after we'll be moving to Spain, (next to Valencia) where we had bought an apartment some years ago.
I am closely following with anxiety the daily happenings of Venezuela and am very worried about what the future will bring. Over here it's no cake walk either but nothing comparable to what you're having over there.
I would like to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year and please count on me for the future.
If you have any kind of "collective e-mail address list" of the Mount boys I'll be much obliged if you send it to me.
Un abrazo
Csaba

I was very happy to have received Csaba´s email. I am enclosing the photo of his class 1958, so that he may place the names to the faces of his class. Believe it or not even MSB oldboys have a memory problem!!!!, but this is just momentary as once they see the photo their friends names come easy.

Ladislao, I live in the US...Houston, TX. I visited Trinidad twice in the last year since my mother is still there and was actually thinking of going back this summer...if I do I'll email and let you know if I can make it in August. However, if you ever need to contact me by phone when/if you're in the US, my cell is the best way to get in touch......713-417-2496....I'm attaching my business card with all my contact info as well.
All the very best,
Howard.

Ladislao, you did an excellent job!....it's surprising how much time and effort is spent on this type of activity...I hope to meet you some day in the very near future. I will visit Trinidad again this year....are the Savy's still involved (coaching) at the Altamira Tennis Club.?...thanks to your circulars I have made contact with David Bratt and will visit him when I'm in Trinidad...good luck with
your LED projects.

Some dozens of weeks ago I was told that there were more MOUNT INSIDE editions. I only have two! I am starting in this circular with the April 1964 issue. If someone can look up the memorabilia corner of his house, please send me a copy!
And to where credit is due, The Editor of this issue was kind enough to send it me, Don Mitchell.

We miss the regular email from Gabby, Anthony (Tony) Johnson, hope he is well and can keep up the good work with the WEB page.

We are also missing the Who is Where lines from Roger Henderson, I would like to include the latest whereabouts of some of the oldboys from TT and the world.

God Bless

Ladislao
