Newsletter for past alumni of The Abbey School, Mt. St. Benedict, Trinidad and Tobago, W.I.
Caracas, 27 August 2005. Circular No. 199-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Friends,
Due to comments that I have received, rest assured that I am not filtering your letters, giving priority to others, etc., but I am following this system:
1. When I get an email, I store it in the senders’ archives. Lately I am replying to let you know that I received your message.
2. If it is long, about one page, I immediately assign a Circular Number to it. Thus the Circular has a SEND date fixed to it.
3. The Circular is weekly so sometimes the reprinted email might take two to three months to be sent out, depending of the amount of emails you send.
4. In the past I tried to move numbers up and down but it caused confusion in my system, and most of all, TIME consuming.
5. With this system you might get odd numbers with advanced dates. This is because of my necessity to freeze the Circular numbers, and the urgency to inform you.
6. In 2013 when I am proposing to retire, I can make the Circulars more dynamic and be able to improve my system. As for now I can only promises that you are going to get a Circular per week.
Someone new but well remembered by his Class:

Hello Ladislao,
With delight I discovered the Abbey School Website(s) and your efforts to bring old boys together.
I have been trying to make contact but all efforts to do so get bounced back.
Attached is an account of my life after mount and some pictures that show the aging process...
I can send more, but do not want to overload this email.
Warm regards,
Norman Smith

Echeverria, Rafael - Norman Smith and myself .. together with my brother Gustavo and a Venezuelan friend Enrique Gomez .. formed a rock band in Mount (it was The Beatle's era) ... the band was called "Chains".
There was also another band called "The Interpreters" with which I played for some time ... I played the bass-guitar ... as a matter of fact I still do ... I combine my professional practice as a lawyer (International Contracting Law in Oil Industry) with music and running ...
I have already ran the New York Marathon TWICE ... the last time in November 2000... can you believe it ? ...
Now I have five children (My second granddaughter is due April 18th). Claudia my eldest daughter (the married one) and my son Rafael live inFlorida .
I have been a lawyer for 27 years now ... and I have met so many people around the world thanks to my professional practice.
And I have lived a wonderful life !!! .... I have a beautiful wife and five great kids ...
My profession has reached very satisfactory levels and I feel proud of my work in life ... now ... at 54 !!! ...
