Circular No 1050

 






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

Caracas, 22 of March 2022. No. 1050

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

Dear Friends,

This is the last Circular for the month of March.

Slowly we are getting less communicating, I presume that memory fades and we are preoccupied with health issues.

None the less, keep moving the neurons in the brain as these are the only safeguard against senility.

That’s great, Nigel.  My problem was that I did not have any idea who the person was.  I was not his contemporary at school. 

Anyway, I am glad the question is cleared up.

Maggie and I are celebrating the day by sharing a bottle of excellent (New Zealand) Sauvignon Blanc.

Best,

Don

Don,

We are merely trying (successfully) to Identify the young man in a photograph of 1957 of 2 MSB OBs.

Turns out that he was Isaias Farcheg (later Dr. Isaias Farcheg).

The following day, by coincidence, Csaba Jacobzsen then revealed that he had only just found out that Isaias had died of COVID (that’s all he said) in Caracas a few months previously.

Hope your day is going well.

Regards,

Nigel

Hi, Ladislao,

I hope Nigel was able to help. 

I am not sure what the issue is.

Ok Nigel, I cannot find the photo. Do you have the circular number or better yet the number on the photo?

Also, you can write me when you see any discrepancy, I make the circulars for all.

Don does not have the means to make corrections.

Thanks for this, Don.

Just a comment - The boy in the b&w photograph, who is standing next to Fr. Ildefons is Robert de Veteruil (a.k.a. Nanny Goat) c. 1958.

Dear All,

The latest Circulars, Nos 1035 and 1036, are now published at: https://2021circulars.blogspot.com/

I depend on you to visit the website from time to time to see if there are new ones, as I don’t always remember to send out notices every time a new one is published.

Best,

Don

Hello Lad,

My son forwarded an email you sent recently.

You wanted to know if I am still alive.

I can assure you I am very much alive and in regular contact with Tony VIEIRA.

I haven’t received any communication from you or the group for a very long time.

I assume that the group was disbanded due to our age population.

What may have happened is that I have changed my internet provider and have a different email address.

My new address is clydevie15@yahoo.com.

I must apologize for this.

I am 77 currently and will be 78 come July 11th.

Still fairly healthy since my Cardiac operation in 2018.

Both my wife Ingrid and I still live in Toronto and will be close to 55 years married.

I am not sure if there are any members still living in Toronto.

If so, let me know their email address so I can contact them.

Although retired at the age of 52. I decided to open a stone business with my 2 sons in 2007.

Our business has been a success, although I only work 2 days a week. 

So that has been my life to date.

Please keep in contact.

It has been a wonderful life experience back in my teen years.

I visited the Mount only once in 1998 and nothing much had changed.

Never appreciated the view of the area.

So Ladislao, it is very nice to continue having contact.

Please keep in touch.

Kazim Abasali

Dear friends,

Recently I have been dealing with more health-related issues.

And I have to cut down on my workload to get my health in order.

Still working to bring down my blood pressure for months now. 

So, with that in mind, and the fact that if something happens to me and I cannot attend to the website anymore, there will be no continuation.

So, I created a free WordPress website

https://msbasaa.wordpress.com/

and hosted all the photos on Google. photos which is also free.
