Lo otro que deseo me ayuden es lo siguiente:

Que posibilidad tienen de averiguar esto.

Que alegría me dio oír de ti después de tantos anos.

Hable con Salvador Coscarart ayer y fue como haber viajado en el túnel del tiempo 40 anos al pasado.

Les envío una foto mía con la familia, lo mas seguro que un poco cambiado con anos encima y unos cuantos kilos mas.

Espero que este mail sea el correcto y también de Eloy.

Reciban un fuerte abrazo y aquí en Houston tienen a un hermano y amigo.

Mandenme fotos de uds y vamos a estar en contacto.

Saludos,

Enrique Zanelli.

What a joy it gave me to hear of you after so many years.

Spoke with Salvador Coscarart yesterday and it was as I were like to have travelled in the tunnel of the time 40 years to the past.

I am sending a photo mine with the family, but surely that a little changed with years above and a few kilos.

I hope that this mail is the correct one and also of Eloy.

Receive a strong hug and here in Houston you have a brother and friend.

Send me photos of you and we are going to be in contact.

Ladislao,

acabo de ver tu Email,de la cena.

Lamentablemente me llegó muy tarde.

En éste momento estoy en el aeropuerto de Puerto Ordaz esperando un avión hacia Maiquetia y luego hacia Puerto España.

Después de 40 años voy a pasar los carnavales allá.

El libro de Scouting for Boys ya le saqué copia y te lo estaré enviando al llegar,si es que aún no lo tienes.

Pienso llegar a al Mount para revivir algunos recuerdos.

Después te cuento.

Saludos,

I have finished seeing your email, of the supper.

Lamentably it arrived to me very late.

At this one moment I am in the airport of Ordaz Port hoping an aeroplane towards Maiquetia and soon towards Spain Port.

After 40 years I am going to pass the carnivals there.

The book of Scouting Boys already I made copy for you I will be sending it when I return if it is that you do not have it yet.

I am think to go to the Mount to revive some memories.

Later I tell you.

Dear Don

I have the circulars but they are not 100%,

I just wanted to let you know that I am still alive.

In my records I have not released No. 273, 279, 280, 296, 298 to 303.

Please check

I did have a nice chat with your brother.

I enquired if he would know any friend that would have a 13 aprox son for a possible exchange program.

I would like to send my son to practise some real English, while we can reforce the other boys Spanish.

This week we have a friend of my daughter from Germany, while as you know we have had a TT girl staying with us a couple of years back.

Just let you know.

Dear Winston,

You are a great help, your class group, graduating in 1972 has very few emails.

Maybe nobody has been diligent enough to get them together.

Of course there are class groups where there are no member or putting in another way, I have no graduating date, or even names for 1974 until 1985 when the school closed.

About the sauce, I am in Caracas Venezuela, so please do not send my bottle to Neil!!!

Maybe you can ask those that are no computer inclined to give you the email of a son or daughter, maybe a friend??

I shall pick up the bottle one of these days if you get a party going, hahaha!

Hi Salvador,

Your reputation precedes you.

I remember when I first arrived at the Mount the talk was all about what Coscarart did.

I was there from 1973 Sept and then stayed on until 1976 because I taught for a yr and was in charge of the boarding house, much smaller than what it was like when you were there.

The guys I know better are

Joe Berment

Edmond Sanior

I work with Angostura and travel a fair amount to Europe and the North America. Have not been to Louisiana for some time but will call you when next I am passing through the US.

Dear Attila,

I was not in the Reunion 2003.

Those of the committee did promise a resume and to send photos with names but were not forthcoming at the end.

The president of the committee was not interested in other alumni other than his immediate classmates (1985).

I feel that Alumni are all of us, and if we do not collaborate then the history would not be complete.

So please send me the CD to keep the archive as complete as we can after all these years.

Dear Ladislao:

Just to let you know,

I have a copy on DVD of the amateur video shot and narrated by Salvador Coscarat of the 2003 Old Boy's Reunion at Mount St. Benedict.

You were there, so you know what I am talking about.

In summary for everybody else:

It has some great shots of the outside of the old Abbey School, the Refectory, the Monastery and the Church, the "green tank", the "White Stones", the old woodworking shop on top and the scouts' house behind it, the basketball court, and of a walk through the bush to the old water reservoir.

It also has video of the priests and faces during the Reunion Party, especially of Fr.Cuthbert, Fr. Augustine and Miss Kitty Marcus.

At the end, it also includes a video of a short drive in Port-of-Spain through the dirty window of a taxi.

It is sure to bring forth a bunch of old memories, both good and bad, to everyone who has attended the Abbey School, I am sure.

I think it is a historical video that should be preserved.

Unfortunately Salvador could not get inside the old Abbey School building because it is fenced off and is leased out, so there is no video of the old classroom and dormitories. What a bummer.

I would be more than happy to make copies to anyone who may want it.

Although I was thinking of perhaps, better yet, putting it up on a website so anybody can download it at will.

The video DVD-R is full at 4.34 GB and it is about 1 3/4 hour long, so it is a rather large file.

I have to find somebody with a website who is willing to host this large file for the downloads.

Let me know.

I wanted to thank Glen Evelyn for the lap top that he supplied to Peter Webster but in trying to find his e-mail address I discovered that the circulars that I saved cannot be opened –

they are being blocked by Microsoft to protect my computer and that may be the reason I am not receiving your circulars any longer.

If it's not too much trouble could you send me the address for Glen?

Dear Ladislao

You are worth your weight in gold.

I'll give him a ring as I have a message from Salvador Coscarart for Myron's mother here as to the effect that Maria Teresa de Coscarart (Salvador's mother) sends Myron's mother her best regards.

It seems that the Lews in those days some 30 years ago would go up to Cumana and stay in the Hotel Astoria there owned, at least in those days, by the Coscarart family.

I'll let you, Salvador and Attila know what the call turns up.

Incidentally I know only Ronnie and am unacquainted with Myron.

From what I understand but I may have this all wrong, the two brothers are not on speaking terms but again, as I said, I only have this unconfirmed from a third party through the grapevine.

Hola Attila:

Otro nombre que me viene a la memoria es de uno de los trinitarios: David o Peter Quesnel.

Su familia tenia una hacienda de cacao o de cafe en el valle al oeste de Mount que en direccion norte iba en linea general hacia el Cerro El Tucuche (el segundo o primer cerro mas alto de Trinidad) y hacia Maracas Bay.

Me acuerdo que los Scouts una vez hicimos un campamento en su hacienda pero que llovia tanto que tuvimos que montar todo el campamento de carpas sobre una plataforma de bambues.

Tambien me acuerdo que intente sin exito montar a caballo, tirandome el caballo en un bamboo patch.

That was that with horses as far as I was concerned.

Los Quesnel eran una de esas familias descendientes de franceses cuando Trinidad en sus tiempos de colonia fue brevemente ocupada por los franceses, despues de que los ingleses echaran a los españoles.

En otro episodio involucrando a los Scouts tambien me acuerdo que tuvimos un World Jamboree en la Base de Chaguaramas Bay al noroeste de Port of Spain donde las letrinas eran unos tubos a los que habia que apuntar bien.

Ya para aquella epoca Don Gustavo Vollmer Herrera era el Presidente del World Scouts Association y durante el Jamboree se alojaba en el Hilton de Port of Spain.

Se veia comico con su gigantesca figura metido en unos pantalones cortos kaki de uniforme de Scout.

El uniforme no le quedaba.

Dejame ver lo que podemos hacer por ti de este lado con un recontacto con Rommel Rosero. Te aviso el resultado de la gestion.

Another name that comes me to the memory is of one of the trinitarios:

David or Peter Quesnel.

His family had a property of cacao or cafe in the valley to the west of Mount that ran in Northern direction in main line towards the Hill the Tucuche (the second or first high hill of Trinidad) and towards Maracas Bay.

I remember that the Scouts once made a camping in its property but that rained as much that we had to mount all the camping of carps on a platform of bambues.

I also remember that I tried without success to mount to horse, the horse dumping me in bamboo patch.

That was as far with horses I was concerned.

The Quesnel was one of those descending French families when Trinidad in its times of colony briefly was occupied by the French, after the English threw to the Spaniards.

In another episode involving to the Scouts also I remember that we had a World Jamboree at the Base Chaguaramas Bay to the northwest of Port of Spain where the latrines were tubes to which we had to aim well.

In that era Don Gustavo Vollmer Herrera was the President of the World Scouts Association and during the Jamboree of Spain he lodged in the Hilton.

He looked comic with his gigantic figure in the short trousers of khaki of uniform of Scout.

I do not have left the uniform.

Let me see what we can do to put you in contacting with Rommel Rosero.

I shall inform you of the results.

Until the next

So it is going to be a while to get the Circulars going with the regularity as most of the times.

Hello all,

Yes, the Circulars are a little irregular at the present time.

Ladislao has told us that he is under a lot of work pressure.

But, they are still coming out pretty regularly.

We might also drop off his circulation list from time to time.

This is especially so when he changes computers, and has to reconstruct his address folders.

All you have to do is to email him and let him know you are not getting the Circulars.

He will put you back on the list.

There is always the Blog where all of them are posted pretty much the day he sends them out: http://abbeyschool2007.blogspot.com/.

Here in Anguilla, we are managing to get by on a tide of corruption.

It is producing its own energy in Anguilla.

Enough to ru[i]n the entire economy.

Hi Tony,

If my memory serves me correct, isn't there a very strong current which covers the Atlantic region of Guyana?

I remember from past offshore ventures around Guyana that many operations were suspended due to tidal/current problems?

This Brazilian/Amazon basin tide affects also Trinidad and Venezuela's East coast, but not as ferocious as the Guyana one.

With you chaps having to import hydrocarbons, might be a good idea to look into this tidal power generation.

I'll let you know if I hear of anything about the Pentlands Firth experiments.

You're right; the notes from Caracas have dried up?

What about Boxhead?

Haven't heard a peep from him in recent times.

Other people will also be speculating as well, so this has to be really early after they build something that works; what i saw on the BBC looked like a faith accompli but you know how that goes.

It's called the Pentlands Firth and can have currents as high as 17 knots.

It's the body of water between the mainland of Scotland (Wick area) to the Orkney Islands.

Fabulous place, I've visited a few times.

There are experiments going on just now, but they always come up short mainly due to equipment failure - very treacherous waters, the place is littered in wrecks (at Scappa is where the Germans scuttled their war ships during at the end of the First war)

Tony did lot of literature at School, he did this resume a couple of years ago.

Who can remember these two books?

More than 40 years ago when I was in school the two books we had to study for GCE literature were Shakespeare's "The Merchant of Venice" and "A Man For All Seasons" by Robert Bolt.
I have not seen Bolt's book since I left school but I have a good memory for these things, now Bolt's book concerned the life, and death, of Sir Thomas Moore later to be canonised by the Catholic Church to become Saint Thomas Moore.
Moore's king, Henry VIII, wanted to divorce his wife Katherine, now Katherine of Aragon was in fact Henry's elder Brother's wife, his sister in law and Henry had asked the pope for a dispensation to marry his brother's widow when he became king on his brother's death, since Katharine's father was the king of Spain and it was a political/military/strategic arrangement. Now I am speaking from memory of what I studied 40 odd years ago so if I make a small error here and there, you will please forgive me, as time went on Henry had no son by this Katherine of Aragon so he asked the pope to proclaim that he had made a mistake and should dispense with his previous dispensation, declare the marriage to Katherine invalid and void, and this would allow Henry to marry his new sweetheart Anne Bolin.
The Pope told Henry to go to hell and Henry told the pope to go to hell, the result was that Henry was kicked out of the Catholic Church, we call it excommunication, and he formed his own church, the Church of England of which he made himself the head.
But Thomas Moore who was the Chancellor of the Exchequer [a position much like our Minister of Finance but with far more wide ranging powers] was one of the most celebrated scholars of his day in Europe, and refused to play ball with Henry; but Henry was insistent since Moore's support would have given enormous credibility to his shenanigans. One day when all in England were required to take an oath saying that they would support Henry in this breaking away from the church and swear allegiance to the issue of his marriage to Anne Bolin, Moore who did not want to take this oath was trying to tell his friend the Duke of Norfolk about the importance of the Law.
Norfolk who was not noted for his intellect said to Moore, "Thomas I can never understand you, I would cut down all of the laws in England to get at the devil" Moore looked at his friend in a most piteous way and asked him "and after you cut down all of the laws and the devil finally turns on you, where will you hide? Having no laws to protect you!!"

Sorry Michael,

I am 62 years old and my beautiful smile is not marred by a broken tooth nor do I have any crowns in my front teeth, so my getting a broken tooth has to be wrong.

I remember a couple of things about fights, I did have a fight with one of the French boys Piton or maybe even this same Zeven, outside the library one night after lights out and I did break his front tooth.

I carry the mark on my knuckles to this day.

Selwin, do you remember this fight?

I believe that you were my second.

I also remember punching Don Mitchell and practically knocked him out whilst we were fooling around in the old boys room with boxing gloves.

Do you remember that Don?

Worst experience i ever had at the mount watching you lying on the tennis table groaning.

I thought that I had killed you and that I was going to get JAIL!!

I also remember kicking the crap out of Wayne Gittens in the dressing room near the play field.

I also remember Edward Lloyd [my frigging best friend] cuffing me in the mouth and giving me an abscess in the gum which nearly made me lose my canine tooth [bottom Jaw left side] since someone lied to him and told him that I had hit his little brother, Chriastian.

I don't remember you at all Michael, can you send me a picture?

Around 1985 I met Richard Gault.

He was living in a place called Coral Springs, Florida.

He was a really successful Insurance broker, had his own agency and doing very well.

I wouldn't venture a guess as to the size of his ....! but one thing I do remember, in 1985 he did not look so big to me anymore.

Don, regarding the circulars, I sent what I have.

I will check to see if I sent it in a manner which erases the attachments.

That happens sometimes also, in addition to the premature ejacumaling.
