Hola Ladislao,
Como están por Venezuela, aquí estamos muy ocupados con el trabajo. Espero que por allá se les este arreglando la situación.
Hoy recibí el circular # 82 y veo que la situación no se ve muy buena con el Web. Acabo de hablar con Tony Johnson por teléfono y le pedí permiso para mandarte su teléfono y dirección, 1-916-359-5388. Tony Johnson, 1555 Barnett Circle, Carmichael, California, USA, 95608.
Me dijo que va a tratar de hacer algo en el verano pero promete muy poco y si alguien puede tomar la responsabilidad del Web que el le daría el password, para poder entrar y organizar y añadir mas información el Web.
Bueno espero que podamos mantener el Web vivo y mantener The Abbey School alive,
bueno buenas noches y hasta pronto
God bless
Salvador Coscarart.

Here is the Bable fish, translation:
How are you by Venezuela, here we are very much occupied with the work. I hope that the situation is fixing itself. Today I received circular # 82 and I see that the situation does not seem to be very good with the Web. I have just spoken to Tony Johnson by telephone and asked him permission to send you his telephone and address, 1-916-359-5388. Tony Johnson, 1555 Barnett Circle, Carmichael, California, the USA, 95608.

He told me that he is going to try to do something in the summer but it promises very little and if somebody can take the responsibility from the Web he will give him the password, to be able to enter and to organize and add information to the Web.
Good I hope that we can maintain the Web alive and maintain The Abbey School alive, good night and see you soon.
God bless
Salvador Coscarart.

Hi Ladislao,
What good news this is, if I can trust my rusty Spanish! What are the plans?

Hello Maroth,
I am an old school-friend of Ladislao's. I was at Mount for the period 1958-1964.
I have been corresponding with Ladislao about the need for us to do something to get the site updated. I have also many months ago been corresponding with Tony Johnson, but he has not replied to my many recent emails. [I suspect he has tagged all Mount correspondents "Block sender" so that he does not even know when he receives a message from one of us.] My knowledge of web sites is very limited. I can access them and read them, and I have a person who helps me with my own website, but I have never learned anything about constructing or maintaining websites myself. I have indicated to Ladislao that I am willing to contribute to the cost. Ladislao has now sent me a copy of your message below and asked me to contact you and to discuss with you what we can do to carry the site forward. What can I do to help? What do you suggest?
Don

Hello Laszlo,
I'm willing to take over the Web page...provided that all the costs don't fall on me...
I spoke with Anthony Johnson about 1/1.5 years ago...around the time I started getting your circulars...which, by the way, are tremendously appreciated...
Anyhow, we spoke and I suggested various ways in which to pages could be improved, and I offered to help make some of those changes. He agreed but never got back to me. I sent email and got no reply, so that was that...
I'm a professional computer programmer and although not a Webmaster, I have created many pages and am comfortable with scripting languages, HTML, etc. The first thing would be to get the files from the current site. We will need Anthony's OK for this... Then we need to find a good Web host site...and pay for it...unless we can use a site already "owned" by an old Mount
boy...
Thanks for all your good work...my brother Christopher also appreciates it...

Dear Don,
You must have received the email from Marothy. I would like you to be the CEO on this, if you can! You have made contacts with a provider, Salvador has ideas. Write him! His English is good, but his Spanish is better. And Marothy even discussed the matter with Gabby. I only need information for the Circular on the effort being made to get the WEB page going. I unfortunately know little in HTML and web page programming. The exchanges that have to be made can be a good article, so keep me
informed. I would think that you can play a good role as a moderator; I have read some of the resumes of the cases that you have judged. Can you send me a copy of the cases that are open for the public to read? I enjoy reading the reasoning used. If you can keep me informed on the outcome of the negotiations these would be appreciated (back to the MOUNT INSIDE days, Editor!)
God Bless
Ladislao

Hi Ladislao,
I am humbled that you think I can do much with the web site, beside be an agitator for improvement. I have no personal web-page experience. What I suggest is that I approach the various persons you have mentioned as gently as possible, with the intention of trying to make progress. I understand that you do not wish to be copied with all the correspondence, but only wish to receive reports from time to time on how matters are progressing. I shall as you request have a go, and let you know from time to time if I have any luck.
Don

Hi Don,
Nice to hear from you. I was at Mount from 1952-1958, my brother Christopher from 1952 to 1959.
The first step, I think, is for me to find a good and inexpensive host. I'll pursue this shortly. The second step is to somehow get the rights to "theabbeyschool.com" name. I suspect Anthony owns this. If we can't get hold of him, we will need a new name
for the site. Once this is done, the photos, files, etc. on the current Web site must be copied over. We might be able to do this right now, unless there are copyright implications.
Will get back to you soon...
