Dear Friends
Now a compendium of emails from Edward Lloyd and some that were left out due to Christmas, New Years rush.

Dear friends
In case any of you have been wondering what we have been up to lately in my pre-retirement, attached is a photo of an oak sideboard (dresser) that was made around 1900 in Aberdeen
It's an impressive 72" wide, 38" high and an unusual 24" deep (about 500 lbs in weight).
Behind the left front door is a built-in 3 drawer cutlery storage.
I've recently completed a replica, also in oak (dresser 1), but without the carved panels in the middle upper door panels (can be let in at a later date from the back) and the back splash is also missing.
I believe that this piece is a marriage, as later I will make a top for it also of oak but have not decided on a design.
It proudly sits in our living room, and now I've been commissioned to make one in mahogany.
Enjoy.
Regards
Ed Lloyd

Hello Ladislao
No, my brother's name was Maurice.
And if my memory serves me correct, he left in Form 2 around 1964.
I really can't remember when he came to Mount, but it must have been around 1960.
Have you got Mac Scheult's email address??
Many thanks and God bless.
All the best to you and your for the Festive Season
Edward Lloyd

Subject: Ian David Cope - -past student (RIP)
Don
I am attaching a few pages that I think should be included in the MSB old boy's pages.
Ian was a past student at the Mount and went on to study engineering in the UK
He was a day student and would have left Mt around 58 - 59.
Ian is a first cousin of mine as is Gregory Farfan.
Ian's youngest sister Margaret Ann, came up to Scotland from Doncaster for a visit a few weeks ago and left a booklet published by the Edgware and District Radio Society for me to view.
They depict the man to a "T".
My regret is that I never knew him very well.
That's life I suppose.
There is an old saying 'that you never miss the well until it runs dry', how true.
If I had only picked up the phone earlier.
I thought it appropriate to copy the relevant pages and see if they can be included in next MSB old boys circular letter.
In the time being, I am managing to get a few Scots to Back T&T in their upcoming battle with the "Auld enemy" on the 15th.
God Bless
Ed
PS If the attached format give you any trouble, I can send them in .jgp format, let me know. How are you keeping these days?

Annabella, Carol, Gregory
I have been meaning to send the attached photo of our family, but never remembered where I put the dam photo (must be a senior moment)
Although not entirely up to date as this Xmas it would be 2 years old.
Let's see if I can tell you who is who.
On the bench with Betty and I are our four children.
To my left is Collen and Eric, to Betty's right is Sharon and Simone. Colleen 40, Sharon 38, Eric 36 Simone 33.
Back row left to right, Danya Yuill (15), David Horn, Mac Mackie, Darren Yuill (17), Les Yuill, Andre Yuill (12)and Irene Lloyd.
Colleen is married to Les Yuill, Sharon
Colleen is holding Adrienne Anna Mackie (2), Sharon
David is holding his son Nicholas (4) and Simone is holding her daughter Catherine (2)
These are today's ages, not 2 years ago.
Front row left to right
Simone Sam Mackie (6), Mike Mackie (8), Liam Lloyd (7), Erin Lloyd (12), Eric is divorced and Irene is not the mother to his two children.
Eric and Irene just got married last month.
Simone (Horn) is expecting her third child at the end of October.
So that makes it 11 grandchildren, 40 years of married life and not yet retired.
Hope all is well with you all, and we will let you know nearer the time if we will make it to B'dos next year for the Farfan family reunion, but more than likely it will be so although I have a golf outing to Majorca in April, and I am presently back consulting just now and can not possibly make a long range commitment at the moment.
Love to all
Edward & Betty Lloyd
PS...Please share this photo with your family members with whom I do not have an email address.
God bless.

Hello Ladislao,
You will see from this letter from Attila to Wayne
He tells Wayne
Attila does not even know that Wayne
Hope you will recover from whatever computer ills you are experiencing and return to sending out the Circulars.
If not, we will have to start all over again from the beginning!
Adam and Eve biting another apple!
Keep well over Christmas.
I shall be happy just to survive family and all that.
Don

Dear Tim
I got your classmate list and was belatedly read.
Also the note of the year when the photos were taken.
Sorry for the questions in my first email.
Still if you would like, answer the other questions, just like your resume, just for the listing.
My best wishes for a New Year 2007 with a lot of prosperity and health.
God Bless

Dear Tim
Hope that these Xmas holidays are well spent with lots of family gathering.
Can you help this Santa´s helper in gathering the ALUMNI of the Abbey School
Please send me a photo, a sign, and maybe a resume to include in Circular 254 to be sent out soon.
Of course a photo would be cherished.
A short run down of your classmates??

Dear David
Good to hear from you after, two years??
I would like to receive your resume for posterity.
Also inform me on the efforts to get a reunion or what ever organization can be made just to get the ALUMNI in TT together.
If I can help? please write.
Maybe I can make it to TT this year??, unfortunately I have no family over there.
This Chavez business makes it easy to get a plane ticket but that is all.
How about your articles?? I am sure that you have been writing.
God Bless
Ladislao

Yes boy, Mickiewicz, or "Miskivich" as Alan Ho used to say, those memories that you have are indeed pleasant ones, the fete we went to was at St.Joseph's Convent, where one Castells disappeared for a short while into one of the classrooms with a female and had us all "lusting" after them for days and nights.
One of my very first memories of Mount and you, is of you on the sports field, in goal, with a very impressive long sleeved football jersey and a set of little boys (Giant B and A) begging you for a kick, I joined in, not very hopefully, since it was my first visit to the field, and after due deliberation on your part, I got a chance to "toe punch" the ball, which immediately earned your disdain and, as I recall, it was not until some weeks later that I got another chance.
What wonderful memories and it's good to hear from you and know that you have done well, Miss Marcus should be told that one of her "boys" worked at Du Pont.
Remember the bee? :)
David
