Circular No 212

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

Caracas, 26 November 2005. Circular No. 212

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

Dear Friends,

I have two good friends that have just cancelled their dues.

Meet Richard Driver and Edward Watson.

From Richard Driver:

Before giving you my “50” words, I would like to mention the article I read in The Vancouver Sun newspaper some weeks ago that states “Scientists have discovered you start losing your memory by age 10” With that in mind, I’ll see what I can do.

I was shipped off to Mount at the tender age of 9 in 1946.

I was one of the BG contingent that included Trevor Evelyn (the senior member) Neal & Alex Gonsalves, Osmond Gomes, Clive Bettencourt Gomes, Eric King & his brother??. Some of the others were the Schouls’, Ian, Steven, Conrad, Malcolm Boyack.

We “little” boys lived under the big “arm” of Fr. Lee Sing.

Can’t say he spared the rod as we found out just before bedtime in our pajamas.

He also played a good game of marbles.

In ’48 I left Mount and went to St Stanislaus College in BG, among my class mates was Keven Greene aka Fr Hildebrand in later years.

After leaving school in ’54, I went to live in Trinidad, where I came across many of the boys I had met at Mount, Arthur Knaggs, Peter Ganteaume, to name a couple.

Went back to BG in ’56 worked with RJ Shannon(NCR).

In 1967 I got married to Pauline DaSilva, and in 1973 we immigrated to Canada and made Richmond, British Columbia our home.

I continued to work with NCR until I retired in ’02.

We have 2 “kids” Catherine, who lives in Vancouver, & Mark who lives in Toronto.

In 2001 we finally had an empty house, or so we thought, but living in Beautiful BC, we have a constant stream of visitors.

My address is Richard Driver, 4311 Lancelot Drive, Richmond, BC V7C 4S4.

Phone No. is 604 277 5673, email is rdriver@telus.net.

Attached are two photographs, on of the Bell tower & roof of the church of the Benedictine Monastery in Misson, BC.

The other of our family taken in Sept. at our son’s wedding, R-L is Catherine, Mark, Mandy, ( our new daughter in law), Pauline & me.

Dear Richard,

Your resume is going to be published in Circular No. 212, so there is ample time for reminiscence and look for memorabilia.

Also for you to send me the names of those in the photo.

Need another photo, maybe you and your hobby? or MSB photo.

God Bless

Dear Ladislao,

I am one of the guilty ones that have been enjoying the Circular but have not written, but a couple of words to tell you so.

I was so thrilled to get a picture of “ The Interpreters”

The original band with Johnny Abraham, Lead Guitar, Jeremy De Barry , Guitar, Gerard Anderson, Drums, Norman Smith “ Home made Bass Guitar” and myself Edward Watson played the bongo drums.

Che Che , Jeffery Camacho and Richard Anderson then came in some time soon after.

I remember some great sessions at Che Che house on Rapsey Street St Clair Port of Spain, don’t know how his parents put up with us.

I do run into “Bram” Johnny Abraham every now and again and I saw Jeffery Camacho, whom, I had not seen for years, a couple of months ago.

Lost touch with the rest of the crew, I heard Richard Anderson has a very successful landscaping business in Florida.

I also would like to make contact with the guys.

Please send out another photo of the band as the one I had was deleted in error.

My time at Mount was short but interesting and perhaps I might be remembered to you all as one of the Guys “ Frankie Ambard and myself” that went awol over the hills and were brought back( recaptured ) by Edward Lloyd, great friend.

What a thing.

Well just wanted to say, great job keeping all in touch and wish everyone a Merry Christmas and God’s great blessings to ALL

Hi Lazlo

I am afraid there was no graduation.

The Fr Bernard “ Bobo “ thought it was better for me to leave for good after I went over the hills a couple of times.

Not sure what I have in regards to memorabilia, I’ll look around and see what I can come up with.

I do however have, surprisingly enough quite fond memories of Mount.

One of the guys I remember we all looked up to when I was there was Enrique Castells, not too sure how to spell his name “ great athletic”.

Played music with the Band “The Interpreters” Johnny Abraham, Norman Smith, Gerard Anderson, Jeremy Dubarry

Dear Edward,

Thank you for the comment.

Yes there was a swimming hole in the valley (river) at the back of the tennis courts.

The road we took was the car road down to the main road, then north, about 300 meters.

Please send me a resume,

Dear Friends,

I have been thinking, (do not laugh, I sometimes do), What about letting you reserve a Circular for your use. That is, you prepare the article with photos and all. That Circular would only have your comments, essay, etc. This way for the sake of history, you would let the world know your story

Do you like photos?, if you do please send one for the crowd!!.

Dear Ladislao,

Here is Raymond's email address: rdevaux@attglobal.net.

Raymond is back here for the summer in Brossard, a city close to Montreal, just across the St Laurence River.

I see him every other Friday nights at our mother's home for supper with my other brother Patrick and also with J.D. Miller, my brother in law another old MSB boy.

They are all very well and still happy to receive the weekly circulars of the Abbey School MSB.

Arthur Knaggs was recently at J.D. Miller's home where he also met Raymond for supper.

I have some old pictures of MSB and of some of the boys when I was there during the years 1947-1953.

I am sending them at the email address you give in your circulars to send pictures.

There is no further information as to the whereabouts of Peter Bruce, and the name of the Unknown in the photo of Alain at the bridge.

CAN ANYONE HELP???.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.

Let me write a few lines now that I have relived and revived by the photos of this Circular.

The Sports field contained a football field of 100 yards long and maybe 60 yards wide.

In the middle during the first semester (second semester for those that attended after 1963), during the dry season, the cricket mat was laid down by Mr. Tom (Sorry but no last name), which was taken up at the end of the season.

I still remember the small cricket field to the south of the football field that had a concrete slab instead of a mat.

During my first year, I was called to participate for St. Anthony, in a cricket practice at the small field, but I had no luck, I never played Baseball here in Venezuela so I was put out real fast.

The other recollection was my action in football where I played left wing, (no left wing was available at the time) this would have been OK, if I had been a left footer, but strangely enough I was a left hander but a right footer, so I began with earnest to practice shooting with my left foot.

It worked but I was never comfortable or as good as with my right.

As to running, it was P.G. Wilson that helped, one day I saw a lot of kids, small as myself running with this big coloured guy around the oval. I got curious and went to see what the interest was. P.G. called out for me and made joke as to my lack of English and asked for a translator, Manuel Prada, who told me that I should join the group. Which I did and on that day I ran my liver out.

I liked all the sports activities and still do.

Next to the road between the trees there were benches made of wood supported by the same material, this was very well used by the bookworms and those in pain. From these bleachers you could look at the Abbey clock and be ready for the 5:00 o’clock whistle to walk up the hill.

Behind the Sports House, first came Mr. Tom´s little one roomhouse and behind this two outdoor bathrooms and two showers.

Can anyone remember his dog?. It had three legs, the rear one was smashed by a car in 1954 and cut off by Mr. Tom. The colour was white with brown spots, (sorry no name). It was the fiercest dog of the realm.

But I am sure you can remember the crushed ice that was sold by Mr. Tom, next to the main room of the Sports house after three o´clock, tea time. This crushed ice (ten cents?) was crowned with red syrup and sweet cream (it cost an additional pence). The “glass” was tennis ball containers (metallic).

What about the main room of the Sports house?. Half of it was covered with concrete and the other half with wood. In it you had the ping pong table and a large closet where Bro. Vincent kept the Tennis balls, Cricket bats and other sport implements under key.

About the 3:00 “tea”, nothing like it, a bun with a two inch sausage with mustard souse inserted into it, and a SOLO beverage or latter an EXEL (MSB product). Joe Azar was in charge of the hand out. He and his two helpers also were in charge to eliminate rations that were not claimed by 3:15. There was always a rush to get into the line, hunger?.

All this effort was truncated because I was forbidden to play sports in 1956-7 because of a preventive medical problem? Which luckily did not materialize.

So during that time I spent time building airplanes that Bro. Vincent bought every week, but I was restless and wanted to something at the Sports field.

It was during this time that I started to throw the javelin and the discus.

I interpreted the medical ban as to the effect that I could not run, bring up a sweat or breathe rapidly.

Since javelin can be thrown without running, just as Discus, no problem.!

Back to the Sports field. By the time that I was allowed to return to formal athletics, I became a runner, javelin and discus thrower. Football was a second option, and cricket no option. Slowly I got into Tennis.

There were three Tennis courts on the lower side of the Sports House, with two locker rooms (no lockers) but with enough space for football boots and spaces in the wall racks.

I remember that the first boots that was given to us were iron tipped and had leather spikes with enormous nails; that did their work on the adversary, after every game one or two kids always returned with large cuts.

So these spikes were immediately required to be taken off and replaced with rubber spikes.

I cannot recall if the rubber spikes were supplied by Bro. Vincent or Mr. Tom, but I remember that the small replacement nails were available.

The work was done in these two rooms, using a large hammer, a carpenter’s pliers and a anvil tool for placing the shoes, was available.

We became expert spike changers, (shoemaker apprentices). Mr. Tom was our tutor.

Until 1957 there was no pool, so I defer this recount for another opportunity.

The Sports field photo was taken from the Stand that was built on the slope of the mountain opposite the main gate. It was 20 yards wide and twenty steps, ten bleachers, the first five had no roof and the next five higher up had seats made of wooden planks.

I still remember that one day I was watching a cricket match where a big guy named Soubers (an external reinforcement to our team, brought by Bro. Vincent), hit a ball that stroke a black sedan car going up the road next to the Sports house. The ball hit between the two doors and left a rather big dent. (was it six runs)?. The driver got out, looked and turned pail.

This cricket incident is still in my mind, as I had never seen such a powerful shot, and the issue of luck, six inches and we would have had a dead man, or at least broken glasses.

During this period, Mr. Tom lived next to the Sports house, latter on he got a new house behind the Tennis courts as his family got larger and I believe latter when his family even got larger he moved to the present location, next to St. Bede´s workshop at the beginning of the main road.

(I believe that I made my dues for this and next year. Ed.)

Yes, I did my Form V, O Levels in 1963.

I did not know what I wanted to do with myself.

There was no careers guidance in those days.

I went back to try for better marks in 1964.

They did not improve.

I went off to London to do law that summer.

We have the following suggested names for this photo, probably of Form IV taken in 1962:

Hello Ed,

Yes! Aitkin rings a bell.

I agree, Wallace does not ring at all.

We did sit one or two trial O Levels, History and something else perhaps, in Form IV.

But, our Form V, O Levels were the following year.

I sat Form V in both 1963 and 1964.

I remember it well perhaps because of the embarrassment of not doing better the second time around.

Hello Nigel,

I got two attachments. One is labelled MSB Class of 1964.doc (540 KB) and the other is labelled MSB Class of 1964.doc (391 bytes).

The second one I cannot open.

It sounds very small, so perhaps I can ignore it.

The first document contains 4 photos, two of the class and one each of Tony and me.

It seems to me that the first photo of essentially 2 rows of boys was taken in 1962 when we were in Form IV.

The second photo shows the boys one year older; I believe it was taken in 1963 when we were in Form V.

I have amended the labels accordingly and filled in the missing names.

Does anyone have any corrections or additions?

#5 is Joel Gui Blandin [of course]

#6 is Edward Lloyd AKA Selwin

#7. was Simon Da Costa

#8 is Enrique Castells AKA shovel hand,

#9 isn't that Wallace? his father was minister of Education in Trinidad at the time?

#10 is of course Don Mitchell AKA Box Head and that is me at

#11 AKA Terry WANG,

#12 I remember his face but no name comes to mind but he was Trinidadian,

Ok, here is my take...........

1= Michael Azar (Big Joe),

2= ? Fontaine,

3=? a Venezuelan,

4= Michael de Verteuil,

5= Joel Blandin,

6= your's truly Edward Lloyd,

7= Simon da Costa (Barbados),

8=Enrique Castells,

9= ? a San Fernando boy, his dad was in the construction business.

10= Don Mitchell,

11= The one and only, Tony Vieira,

12= a POS boy,

13= Douglas Agostini,

14= Ma Chook,

15= Ho,

16=Stuart Henderson

17= James Seheult.

So we are still missing the names for #'s 3, 9 & 12.

The year was 1962, believe it or not as we were all in Form IV and I wasn't there the following year, Howard is correct in saying that the day boys were not there, as this was taken on a Sunday evening before dinner (or breakfast) at the new refectory up the hill.

I am embarrassed to admit it.

I have no recollection after all these years what the names of most of my classmates were.

Was this photo of Form V 1964?

It could hardly have been.

I was in Form V in both the years 1963 and 1964, so I can get confused.

I thought Joe was in 1963.

MJ De Verteuil was in 1963.

My brother Gordon was in 1964 Form V, and he is not in the photo.

Tony was gone before 1964, and probably before 1963, yet he is in the photo.

The only ones I can identify with some certainty are:

1. Michael (Joe) Azar

4. Michael Joseph Basil De Verteuil

5. Joel Guy Blandin

7. David Da Costa

10. Don

11. Anthony Vieira

12.

13.

14.The ones I can guess are:

15. Howard Ho

16. ? Henderson

17. ? Seheult

I think this photo is probably of Form IV taken in 1962.

According to Ladislao's labelling system that would make it Form V of 1963 taken the previous year.

On the other hand, it might be of 1963.

All the best,

Don

Hey Eddie and Joe,

Ladislao is trying to figure out the names of the boys in this Class of 1964 photograph.

I thought that maybe you could help him, since this was your graduation year - I think.

Regards,

Nigel Boos
