Circular No 85

Newsletter for past alumni of The Abbey School, Mt. St. Benedict, Trinidad and Tobago, W.I.
Caracas, 21 of June 2003. Circular No. 85
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Friends,

The following resume and emails that was received from: Paul de la Bastide. We made 4 pages!

Ladislao,
I attended The Abbey School from 1958 through 1963 (or thereabouts) as a day scholar. The old memories remain: Lifting Mr Lionel Tyrell's old Morris 8 automobile and carrying it up the steps to the lower classroom landing hallway. (He never found out who did this but we all got flogged anyway).

Do you remember "Toots"? We used to spray ink on the back of his suit when he walked by in the isle of the classroom. I really felt sorry that we all did this. Poor fella. Then there was the freshman initiation as a new student started school, they had to be thrown into the bougainvillea hedge with all the thorns. ouch. That really hurt for days after. Smoking in the bathrooms and getting caught every time. Throwing the compass point at the blackboard while the teacher had his back turned. And the Dean of Discipline....I was in his office every day, it seemed I like getting my ass caned. (Amongst all of this, I managed to get an education somehow.)

I now live in the USA and would really like to get info from time to time, however you won't be able to fax me because it will be a long distance call for you. Is it anyway possible that you can e-mail stuff to: paul.delabastide@att.net ??

I used to hang out with the Costello's, Rostant's, Russell Cuhna, Gregory Farfan, Bruce Hutton, The Kirtons and de Pass boys, so that should clue you in to my era (now 53). I have been asking around for while now as to what ever happened to The Abbey School and all it's records. Do they have a web site that I can go to and do research on old student lists?

Let me know your response.
Please keep in touch
Paul

Ladislao,
The only name I recognize below is Jean de Meillac, as I did not finally graduate at MSB.
I transferred to St. Joseph's College at form III grade level. Had I stayed at MSB, I would have graduated in 1966 as it shows in the Roll Call, because those students you have listed were my class mates.
Regards,
Paul

Ladislao,
How sad that you are no longer going to keep us updated with the newsletters.
Well done on the past job.
I hope that Gabby will be able to perform the updates but he indicated to me that there is not enough time in his life to do so.
I wish I had the ability to help but I don't understand all this techno stuff like you guys do.
If you are looking for Bruce Hutton's address here it is: rssl@carib-link.net,
Have a prosperous New Year.
Regards,
Pablo de la Bastide

Ladislao,
I am just curious: What is the little black dot in front of some of the names in Roll Call mean?
Also, I am seeing some names on the list that I have e-mail addresses should you wish to add them.
Let me know,
Paul de la Bastide

(Please forward the Newsletter to those oldboys that you feel that should be included in the list. Ladislao)

Each time you send a newsletter, you include as an attachment in Excel, a few names with email address's that some of them don't appear to be listed in the website ROLL CALL listing.
Does this mean you have a whole bunch of other names that are still to be added to Roll Call?
Let me know,
Paul de la Bastide

Hello folks,
For some reason this virus has raised it's ugly head again even though it has been around for a while because my AntiVirus software has recently intercepted about 2 or 3 bits of incoming email and there is no telling from where it has come. (Thank my lucky stars for good virus software. Phew!) You may want to scan your system just to make sure you don't have this little devil as it hides really well within your system.

The Norton site below explains everything and I think you can link to a part of their site where they can scan your computer for viruses.
Regards,
Paul
