Circular No 101

Caracas, 11 of October 2003. Circular No. 101
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Friends,

You may have asked, what about a resume of the EVENT?
Sorry friends, no resume is available as of today. Close to two months has passed and there is no resume from the organizer committee.
No list is available to indicate the names of those that paid the requested advance payment for the EVENT; or a final names list in case there was a balance sheet, I hope the event did not produce loss.
I have mentioned the above as it should be interesting to know the final results, for use in next year´s event.
There are no official photos available other than those sent by Don Mitchell and Salvador Coscarart and Micheal D´ornellas.
This I had to write because some of you might be expecting a recount, to find out if your friends assisted, etc. But I cannot send out something that I do not have or have received.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Thus the circulars are going back to the old format. Until I get information from TT or from Miguel Gonzalez the head organizer.

Here is the list of attendees of the Event:

* Abbott, Leonard
* Berment, Joseph (cobo) and his wife Zuong,

Dear Ladislao,
This is just a very brief note to let you know that I could not have attended the reunion because I was on my way to Hamburg, Germany, where I am currently sitting as one of the judges of the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS). I was elected to this Tribunal on 2 September 2003 at the United Nations in New York.
If you wish you can find information about ITLOS on the web at www.itlos.org
Sincerely,
Anthony Lucky.

Dear Ladislao,
I have said this before and I write it once more "you have done and continue to do an excellent job”. I cannot allow the year to pass before wishing you and your family best wishes for the season and a very happy and prosperous new year.
Next year, in February, the Country will be electing a new President. It may seem unbelievable but the name of a past student of the Abbey school is among those mentioned as one of the possibles. We pray that the new President will possess the spiritual and moral values, honesty and integrity.
Sincerely,
Anthony Lucky.

In response to Urbano´s Fedak recently found letter in my last issue, here is the reply of the outcome of the football game by Isaias Farcheg

From: "Isaias Farcheg"
Subject: Re: The last games:
Date: Fri, 3 Oct 2003 21:25:16 -0400

That game, of course was won by us...only watch who was the Centre Foward...that day I recall, like if it was yesterday, I scored 3 goals, and the 4th goal was a pass I made to Terry Viera, who did a last minute dribble and scored the 4th Goal.
I was made a hero that day. And I have ever since recalled the game in my memories like if I had preceded Pele for many years. Later on I came to know that Pele was born on the 17th of October 1940 and I was born on the 15th of October of the same year. That implies that I was already scoring goals before Pele was made known to the world, and I had to be made known to the Medical Profession.
You all are lucky guys, because if I had become famous as Pele was, I would have bothered with any one of you all, and all of you, would have to be jalando bola, for me to pay attention to you all.
Now you all know the end of the last game.
And thanks God that> did well at goal keeping.
By the way now you all know why I am able to sleep with a smile every night, because I sleep remembering how good I was as a Center Foward.
Greetings
Isaias.

Circular No 100

Newsletter for past alumni of The Abbey School, Mt. St. Benedict, Trinidad and Tobago, W.I.

Caracas, 4 of October 2003. Circular No. 100

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Friends,

Now sing together “Happy centennial anniversary to you, (repeat twice) happy birthday to you CIRCULAR, etc.”

Who would believe it, I did not, until I noticed that there were three digits, but I must catch up to the voluminous job by Wayne Vincent Brown, and not least by “Mr. The Doctor is In”, David Bratt.

So I continue with our unfailing, Don Mitchell, who together with Salvador Coscarart have sent the only photos that I have on the event.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Don Mitchell"

Date: 31 Aug 14:51 (PDT)

Hi Ladislao,

The reason there are no names is that I am no good with names. I forget a name within a microsecond of being told it. However, for the "Head Table" (it was not the head table; that was just my jokey name; there was no head table) they are, from left to right: David Bratt, Br. Camilus of Pax Honey and the bakery, Don, Fr Benedict, Fr Christopher, D'Ornellas, Mrs D'Ornellas. We were looking at some of the old photos that Fr Benedict had brought with him. A better name for that photo would be "Examining Fr Benedict's photos" or something like that.

Don

Dear Don,

I am glad for all the photos, but need names, those that you remember.

I sent Margaret the list of photos I received today; can you place names on the faces?

This one you sent was called head table.

I need the photos on the table!!!! (those shown on the photo)

I hope that the object of discussion, and in hand, was it not the Circulars????

God bless

Hello Ladislao,

Here I am back in Antigua. The trip to Trinidad is not past, and I must get back to work. But, I would like to send you some of the photographs I took. My computer broke down, and is being repaired. I am borrowing Maggie's at the present. I have downloaded the photos to it, and will attach them one by one to email messages that I shall send to you. I am very bad with names, so please excuse the lack of information. The first one I call "The Head Table."

The old boys of the 1985 class who organised the function treated us all very hospitably. I thoroughly enjoyed the event, and hope that more of us will make it next year. They have promised to make it an annual event.

The monks and Ms Markus attended the Friday event. I attach several photos of them. It was so nostalgic to see them again. Only Fr Abbot was able to make it to the Sunday lunch in the Maraval Valley.

The photos of the men and women in formal dress were taken at the dinner on the Friday night. The ones of us dressed less formally were taken on the Sunday at the home of Mr Hardip-Singh, where we enjoyed viewing the wide array of wild animals surrounding the house.

Very few of the old boys from our generation were present. You will recognise the ones who are in the photos.

All the best,

Don

Hi Ladislao,

I am still borrowing Maggie's computer. I hope to get mine back tomorrow.

No, I did not see Anthony Lucky. As you will realise from the photos, there were very few of the "very old" old boys present. That was only to be expected, given that the reunion was originally intended to be limited to the class of '85. I expect that there will be many more there for the reunion of 2004.

Now, we have to hope that Salvador will make progress with the web site. Either we get Tony to help, or, we simply start a new one. If only I had ever learned the slightest bit about creating a web site, I would be in there starting up a temporary replacement one immediately.

We have to hope that more of the photos from Fr Benedict's collection can be scanned, and eventually all of the surviving school records. We desperately need to have them on a site for those who are interested to view and down load.

Keep well.

Don

Ladislao.

I would say this is the last souvenir I have from Mount, let it circulate.

I am sure Farcheg is having a big laugh while reading.

How where the scores who could remember ???

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So another week, but this time I am sending out the Circular on time.

Still awaiting information from the 1) Event’s committee, 2) Fr. Christopher, 3) Leonard Abbot, 4) David Bratt, 5) Charitable soul.

From this last appeal you can judge that even with the latest communication methods, if fingers do not type and email are not sent out, the best of wishes are not enough.

I must insist because I do not want the organizer think that we were not diligent and persuasive enough.

God Bless

Circular No 99

Newsletter for past alumni of The Abbey School, Mt. St. Benedict, Trinidad and Tobago, W.I. Caracas, 27 of September 2003. Circular No.99
----------------------------------------------------
Dear Friends,

Those in Trinidad must have read a lot about one of our oldboys, and his daughters. I have asked Don Mitchell to get material so that I can include it in
one of my Circulars.
Here is the result of the inquiry.
----------------------------------------------------
From: "Don Mitchell, QC" 
Date: Wed, 27 Nov 2002 19:17:39 -0400
Subject: Anthony Lucky

Hi Tony,
You are probably planning to update the Mount site sometime soon with new material. This is a photo attached of Anthony Lucky and family for the "Recent
Photos" page, and below is a note for the "Biography" page when you are next putting up stuff.
All the best,
Don
-----------------------------------------------------------
Directly from the hand writing of Justice Anthony Lucky.

I presently serve as a Justice of the Court of Appeal of Trinidad & Tobago.
After I left Mount, I completed my secondary education at Presentation College in San Fernando.
I then left for England where I graduated as a barrister-at-law from Gray's Inn in London in November 1961.
After a stint in private practice, I served as a Magistrate in San Fernando between 1964 and 1974 and as Secretary to the Law Reform Commission between 1974
and 1976.
Between 1976 and 1987 I was in-house counsel for Royal Bank of Trinidad & Tobago,after which I was appointed to the bench as a Judge of the High Court.
In October 2000 I was appointed to our Court of Appeal, Trinidad and Tobago's highest Court other than the Privy Council in London.
While engaged in these duties, I continued my legal education, picking up over the years, a Certificate in Legislative Drafting, a Diploma in International
Relations, and a Masters in International Relations.
For my MSc degree I specialised on the law of the sea, and my thesis on the Legal Relationship of the Law of the Sea between Trinidad and Tobago and Venezuela is
on the reading list in some of the subjects at UWI.
I have been married to Cintra for 39 years. Cintra is a graduate teacher in Trinidad, holding a BA (General Hons) degree and a Diploma in Education from the
Faculty of Education at the University of the West Indies. We have four daughters, Cindy-Ann, a specialist medical doctor in Canada; Gillian an
attorney-at-law and Member of Parliament in Trinidad; Elizabeth whose degree is in Industrial Management and Accountancy and who lives in Canada; and Antonia who
is an environmental management consultant in Trinidad.
Besides my work, I enjoy attending international law conferences and spending extended periods of time in Canada doting on my grandchildren.

Hello Ladislao,
I have just sent you a total of 19 photos from the Reunion in Trinidad. They went to the address you requested photos to be sent to. There is a short message
attached to the first one.
Some of the photos are not of the best quality. Please feel free to circulate only those that you are satisfied with.
There are more photos. These are just a cross-section of them. I chose some of the "old" boys, and some of the "new" boys to satisfy all ages!
All the best,

more people at the EVENT!  Ed.)

Subject: Re: Circular No.98, The Abbey School MSB

Dear Ladislao--
In your latest MSB newsletter (reprinted, I gather, from a letter from you to David Bratt), you write:
"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."
Since you have thus circularised the MSB Old Boys, I hope you will likewise pass on to them my response to yours above, as follows:
1) In the period under discussion--circa August-December 2002--my column was dealing with the impending US attack upon Iraq on an average of once every three
weeks or so. You were reproducing my columns, to which I retain copyright (without my permission, although, to begin with, I had no objection), through
most of that period--yet not one of my "anti-American ones" appeared. If that was a coincidence of the unavailability online of those particular columns, it was a
most striking coincidence.
2) I explicitly disavow your view that my columns attacking the Bush Administration's imperial surge into the Middle East (which, you may have
noticed, is now getting the comeuppance it so richly deserves, though Iraq itself will have been shattered and destroyed by the time the American legions are
withdrawn from it) constitute "anti-American(ism)". American voices opposing the war have existed all along; today, fully half of those polled in the US are
calling Mr Bush's Iraq adventure a mistake; and indeed there's a good chance that he and his bunch of barbarian raiders (raiders of the US Treasury, no less than
of Middle Eastern oil, by the way) will be ejected from office by the American people next year because of it. I doubt you would be minded to call the American
people "anti-American". For the record, I am no more that than they are.

WB.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unfortunately I missed the comments when I prepared the Circular, David. As I said about a year ago, I do not censure the Newsletter, but sometimes I try to
avoid confrontation to a minimum, knowing the stance of each writer. Ups, I screwed up!!!!

Dear Wayne, At first I thought that you sent me an article of your Scouting days or intervention during the fight between the Farcheg and Fedak brothers!!!
I am sorry my comments have brought up the controversy, but true to modern journalism, I have printed your answer to Circular No.98 and I hope that the
matter is settled. I shall be more careful next time!!!!.

God Bless

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.

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,

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.

Dear Leonard,
I have received some reports and photos of the EVENT. These shall be published starting 30 of August, Circular 94.
I would like to include one by the committee.
I would like to include then names of those that assisted; maybe the list of people buying the ticket would be a good start.
Please send information as you feel these should be good for the promotion of the next EVENT.
Hope you have rested from the events work and enjoyed yourself.
God Bless
Ladislao

Hello Ladislao,
With all the notices prior to the big reunion of old Mount boys I thought some of the poor Venezuelans would make it to TT and take in some sun & fun in the Caribbean. I thought I read Donald Goddard threatening to show up ??
As for me I would have liked to show up just to see how the old place and some of my classmates look after all these years (I finished in the "middle ages" in 1962). I don't remember most of my classmates, except for those from Venezuela: Chabita (Gerhard Most ), Iwaskiewicz, Mickiewicz. I know I kept the list of my classmates, but to find it is another matter.
I managed to pass through Piarco airport many times in the 60´s and 70´s on my way to Grenada. I can understand how David Bratt feels about the place. Back then it was only slightly better than Grenada's. With the current situation in the country I can only keep on working where I can, usually in these God forsaken oil patches of Venezuela. No chance for retirement, or a cushy job in a university with lots of time off.!!
Greetings to all those old Mount boys out there.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 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 its 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
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If any one of you remember those mentioned by Paul de la Bastide, (Does anyone know where Mr. Lionel Tyrell is?) (Also the first name of the Kirtons, Costellos, Rostants,) (We have not been luck with Russell Cuhna) Please give us their whereabouts or FW this to them so that they may be included in the mailing list.

Ladislao
