Newsletter for past alumni of The Abbey School, Mt. St. Benedict, Trinidad and Tobago, W.I.
Caracas, 31 of May 2003. Circular No. 82
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Friends,
The circular is about the web page, I have been asked to inquire about the status and the future of the Web page.
First of all several oldboys, friends of Anthony Johnson have tried to contact him to inquire on the future of the web page, but received no email answer. A few even expressed worry on his health, there was a time when his telephone line was suspended!
Next I got asked Michael Azar to call him or locate him but again no luck, we have the name of the secretary and the office where he works on an itinerary speaker giving Economic courses. Again no luck.
Look up "Anthony L.Johnson" CPA, in yahoo.com search. The result is (eDesignation.com, GRI Sate Faculty member). There his timetable and workshop is depicted, this is the closest I got.
So after all the effort without a reply, to his friends, I believe that Anthony does not want to be disturbed. So what can we do to save the Web page?
I understand the problem, especially after having sent out 81 Circulars. This is an ungrateful work but it has been fun and I am going to keep it until this years end. Of course if I have your help then I shall look into further Circulars.
There is no need to express solidarity to the Circulars, but better would be your support with article or commentaries.
I am extremely sorry that Arthur Knagg has been silent on this effort, thus we have been unable to get to the archives where I am sure you would have been delighted with all the past anecdotes and resumes. And above all, maybe have material for 100 circulars. Still I feel lucky to be able to send you tidibits of information.
Another source that we have been counting on is Jon Golding, who is now in TT, but his busy schedule has prevented him to get first hand information.

Recently I received this article on one of the activities of my classmates, Roger Henderson:
Gender equality takes another proud step forward in our nation. The Queen's Park Cricket Club is finally allowing women into its halls, or that should be, onto its walls, as a Guardian story (no link) explains. The club has produced a pin-up calendar, featuring some six female models.

According to calendar committee chairman (how does one get that job, exactly?) Roger Henderson, "It is a first for the club, but there was no reason for it." Judging by the expression on club president Willie Rodriguez's face, though, as he looks at the calendar in one of the photos that accompanies the story, Henderson is sorely mistaken.

One of my classmates wrote to a question on Class 1959.
Ladislao,
First of all I am unable to open the photograph file and secondly I do not know off the top of my head the whereabouts let alone the email addresses of those you seek. I would have to make a conscious effort and devote some time to this project which I must confess cannot be listed as a top priority at this time. I will promise whatever relevant information comes to hand or head I will pass on to you.
Best regards

NOW NEWS ON THE WEB PAGE.
The web page has been stationary for nearly a year, no updates, no replies to the inquiries to the webmaster from worried old boys.
From emails that we have received, we have concluded that there is no viability to the web page in the actual managerial format.
It is too much work for one individual to take care of incoming/outgoing mail and at the same time update the page. Ideally the page should be done by a retired person if we do not want to go to a commercial firm. The commercial proposition cost money, and I doubt that there is a charitable soul willing to take on the expense. This is the feeling I have had over the time, especially after reading the emails that I have been receiving since start the circulars.
So I shall open a forum on your thoughts. What should we do?
1. Forget the whole matter, let the web page die.
2. Ask someone? to take over the web page, Anthony Johnson willing.
If you have answered, YES, on No. 1 then your time a The Abbey School was only a dream.
If your answer is positive on No. 2, then:
a. Are you willing to take over the web page?.
b. Do you know anyone willing to do so?
c. Are you willing to collaborate with the finance? To have a professional webmaster?
Please take your time, but would like to get an answer from you friends.
God Bless
Ladislao
