Ladislao,
My problem is that my notes are on another computer which I cannot access at until next week.  I have written something from memory but that is fallible so I
need to check my notes.
Later,
"El doctor esta en alguna parte, pero no se sabe donde...."  :)

Now the following lines from Fr. Francis Friesen

From: Berchmanianum 
Date: 9 Sep 01:20 (PDT)

Dear Ladislao,
Thanks for your email. A splendid idea to keep contact with former co-students by means of weekly exchanges.
I do remember your name and that you belonged to the "gang from Venezuela". I would be happy to get your publication occasionally, so as to refresh me memory
about those happy days with you and the other guys, on that mountain top in Trinidad, so many years ago!
My address, as you have it, is correct, email included. Let me know your own ordinary address as well, for I am not able to reach you regularly unless by
ordinary letter. Kind regards to all,
Sincerely,
Fr Francis Friesen

P.S. Our telephone number is 024-3838485

Subject: Message from Father Friesen/Netherlands

Dear Ladislao,
Thanks for sending me your address.
To answer your question: Yes, I can receive email, like the one you used to contact me, which is the email address for this house; Berchmanianum.
No problem, as for receiving goes, and I look forward to receive your newsletters on this way.
I spoke with Father Paul on the phone. He was your teacher mathematics and physics, left the Abbey in 1963, and is now 87 years old.
He, too, remembers you, although vaguely, and sends you his kind regards. He does not have an email and is not in good health at all.
Both of us have had no access to the computer world, and for me, at the age of 82, and being almost blind, it will remain so.
This message reaches you through the kindness of one of my cousins in Holland, for the use the house email is not open to us, except for receiving messages.
I ask you please to keep using the Berchmanianum@wxs.nl email address.
All the best and God bless,

Father Francis.

Here I am enclosing an exchange regarding the future of the circulars as for
possible use by historians o for the purpose of a future book.

Ladislao,
I have no problem with anything that you have sent or will send.
I do not think you should delete anything from your files. I delete because I am depending on you to save everything!  I think you should set up an archive which
should be accessible to any one who wants information on MSB.
It's a wonderful idea you have for a historian to use what you are collecting for a book on Mount.
All the best,
David

Dear David,
Yes I agree that not all articles are to our liking or we adhere but I have made it a policy that I cannot censure the articles, only modify them by cutting parts
of it is they tend to be a personal attack or something like that. Should I delete the article from file?.
In the case of WVB he was upset because he though that I was discriminating by not sending out his anti American ones. I told him that it was not true; it was
because I could not get it from the newspaper every week so he is sending them to me for inclusion. So what can I do?.
If the article has been in the public domain then it must have some merit.
I keep a file on all pertinent material for future sending out or to keep information that might help a historian for a book on MSB, which I hope someone
would write.
I need help from kids like you to balance the contents of the circular and make it interesting. I know that there is going to be an end to these in the
foreseeable future because of the lack of stories and photos; I keep a few for me to write in case things go slow.
God Bless.
Ladislao

I keep what I like and delete the rest, I am banking on you to archive do you?
I have tried once to get in touch with the St. Augustine doctors and I will try again next week.  Careful with the march tomorrow.

Dear David,
The articles were written Anthony Vieira from Guyana.
I need more of your articles as I am out of them!!
What about the St. Augustine doctors?
I hope that the Circulars are not getting to occupy too much space?
Have I to go to .zip?  Your comments.
God Bless
Ladislao

The circular is expecting articles from our writers.
