Dear Friends,

One of the schemes to get old boys to respond was the call, ” Wanted Alive and Healthy”.
There were few that answered.

Hi Ladislao,
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year & God's Blessings to you & your family.
Also to our 'mount family', the best of health & happiness.
I often read most of your news and it is a good deed that you are doing.
You must still be a scout. (I have been a scout without being legally one. Ed.)
I will get more involved in the conversation as time goes by and make your day a little brighter.
I left Trinidad/Abbey School in 1974 to study in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Cda.
I moved back to Trinidad in 1978 & got married to Lynda Sookra (St Augustine Girl's HS) in 1980.
We had our son Gino on 28 Dec 1980.
Lynda & I both work for RBC Royal Bank of Canada & Gino Works for CIBC Melon Corp.
We all work for the banks but we are also very much involved in recording music.
I will send you some of our music so you can take a listen & share it with the other mount boys (& girls).
Your perseverance & patience has paid off, I salute you.
When you are in Toronto, call me & I'll pick you up & we'll talk.
I live at :1007 Bancroft Dr. Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. L5V1A4.
Phone: H:905-542-7782. W:905-671-6547.
I will try to keep in touch more often.

Thanks,
Hudson McKoy. Mount boy- 1969-74.

(I am in expectation to get the CD. Ed.)

Hi Ladislao,
Sorry about the late reply, I have been very busy with work & my music.
I have been receiving your messages but since they are long I haven't quite read through them all.
I'll keep in touch.
Hudson McKoy. MSB 1969-1974.
Brother of Glen McKoy.

God Bless.

Dear Scipio
Good to hear from you.
Would like to receive your Resume for posterity.
The photos are welcome.
Have you visited Correia at his shop?
Has he a car collection?
Please ask him for a photo or ten words.
I have not been able to convince him to respond to my emails, maybe he does not receive them.
I have good memories of various trips to your island.
Stephen Tempro has a hotel over there.
I knew a few people at cable and wireless, all have retired.
There is a Hungarian named Tar, no connection to MSB who moved over from Caracas in the 70s

God Bless
Ladislao

Hi Laszlo:

Thanks for reply and hope U have a merry Christmas and happy new year.

Well settled into my new home in New Brunswick and so far this has been a mainly snow-less winter, had a green Christmas in the Saint John area where I have settled. Spent Christmas with my son who visited from Baltimore and my daughter and family who also live in my area.

Spoke with one of my old class mates, Richard Galt, just before Christmas we had not spoken since he relocated to Florida from the Toronto area many years ago.

The internet what would we do without it.

Looking forward to a new year that will include my singing with the Saint John Choral group that I joined in November just in time for the Christmas season and spring season for fishing in the mainly rivers around this area.

Before I forget my new email address is rjdabadie@gmail.com.

God bless – Roland

Hi All:

Tomorrow is my scheduled moving day to New Brunswick for those of you who did not know.
I will probably not have internet use until the 6th so will be back in touch after I settle in.

Roland.

Ladislao:

Thanks but have one more request.
I have moved from Toronto to Rothesay, New Brunswick, which is just outside of Saint John, having retired from the Ontario Civil Service after 30 plus years, primarily working with the Ministry of the Attorney General.
I am not sure if they are any Mount boys in this area, although I believe that there are a few in Halifax which is a lot closer than Toronto but still a drive of between 21/2 to 3 hours, in good weather.
Winter is not far off for us.
Anyhow, thought I had sent u my new email address which is rjdabadie@gmail.com and would appreciate u changing your records when u get a chance.
Would like to take this opportunity to again thank you for all the hard work u put into keeping the Circulars coming.

Many thanks – Roland

Well, another Circular with a newcomer, hope we can keep up with the traffic?
I require photos and memorabilia!!!!

God Bless
