Newsletter for past alumni of The Abbey School, Mt. St. Benedict, Trinidad and Tobago, W.I.
Caracas, 5 of March 2005. Circular No. 174
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Friends
Before I start, I would like apologize to my correspondents.
Normally I take your emails and place them in a file under your name.
Sometimes it might take some months!!!, to get your emails in the Circulars as sometimes I have at least four Circulars in preparation.
These are made according to the styles, or group of an old boy and his comrades.
So I assign your email a number that maybe a few weeks away.
I do not throw away any email so in due time your communication is surely in a Circular.
Same with the photos.
The longer your email, the better the chance to see it published sooner.
Lately I started to reply to each email you send to let you know that I received it.
Now down to business
I have the pleasure to send you the latest communication from an old boy, Class 1960, whom I can call a personal friend.

Hi Ladislao,
Thanks for the information.
As far as I know the information I have embedded in your original text below is correct.
Dear Nigel
Thank you for the wishes and I also wish you and your family a Prosperous New Year with lots of health.
As to your question, Nigel:
The elevation of MSB is about 800feet, or about 3ºcentigrade lower than in the plains.
Can you help me with any information on your family member that went to the MSB??
Darwent, John Don't know.....Peter will know.
Darwent, Peter Peter lives in the UK and his e-mail address is ppdarwent@hotmail.com
Darwent, Roger Moved to the US where he died.
Darwent, Walter Still in Trinidad, Peter should know how to contact.
Are the ones that I have on my list.
Your web pages are very good, I hope I could do them myself.
God Bless
Ladislao

Hi Ladislao,
Belated Christmas greetings, hope that you had a wonderful Christmas, and here's wishing you and your family a 2005 filled with all of the good things that you wish for yourselves.
Could you tell me what is the elevation above sea level of The Mount?

Rey:
Funny you should ask.
Yes I do know some of the guys that show up in the various pictures from time to time.
I had several friends from Venezuela when I went to Mount.
Some family history, my Dad was staying in an old age home at the Mount when he passed away.
My brother also went to school at Mount and my sister used to work with addicts at the old school after it was closed several years ago.
The guy in the photo holding the shotgun is actually my cousin Ian de Verteuil and his brother David de Verteuil, is my fishing cousin who lives in Oakville.
Ian lives on Vancouver Island somewhere north of Victoria.
He visited last summer on his way back from Trinidad.
His mom and two other brothers also live in Oakville.

Hey Roland,
These guys all went to Mount St. Benedict.
Somehow they think I'm Rey Morillo who went there.
I have a cousin in Venezuela with the same name so maybe it's him.
Anyway you recognize any of these guys?
I told them to keep me on their email list, just for the hell of it.

Hi Laci,
One of my best friends is also from Trinidad, Roland D'abadie, he also attended The Mount along with my Uncle Winston Rattan sound familiar?
Anyways I forwarded your email to him to see if he recognized anyone and of course he did.
Small world, his email is rdabadie@sympatico.ca.
Drop him a line let him know Rey Morillo sent you.
One day when I strike it rich we'll hook up a big reunion until then take care.
Thanks & God Bless
Brother Rey
