Dear John,
There is no address for Fr. Michael, if there was, he has not replied.
I suggest you mail him by Fr. Abbot, jaebp@hotmail.com.
I find it rather annoying that most of the priests do not have emails, or only private ones.
They cannot be reached when needed!!
And I do not mean that they should have a computer, but a means to comunicate.
God bless
Ladislao

Apreciado Lad:
Recibe un cordial saludo en unión de los tuyos.
No he recibido circulares en la últimas semanas.
Debes estar de viaje y con mucho trabajo.
Si es así que bueno.
Hecho de menos tu trabajo que nos retrotrae a buenos tiempos e inolvidables.
La Paz sea contigo,
Julio César Arreaza B
MSB1971

Dear Lad,
Receive a warm greeting in union of yours.
I have not received the circulars in the last weeks.
You must be travelling and with much work.
If it is so, good.
I miss your work which reverses to good and unforgettable times.
Peace be with you,

Estimado Ladislao:
Como sabes, recientemente he comenzado a recibir de nuevo con tanto gusto las interesantes circulares, ya que obviamente no las recibí en PDVSA, a partir de diciembre. Ahora que tengo más tiempo disponible, me gustaría ir poniéndome al día y en este sentido me enviaste recientemente las No 54,55 y 56.
Sería interesante que en los próximos envíos junto con las más recientes me enviaras las primeras 5.
Posteriormente te iré solicitando por mail otras.
De acuerdo amigo.
De esta forma rendiremos un tributo a los recuerdos, la sana nostalgia y a constructivos y cristianos principios de nuestra formación.
Y en mi caso particular práctico el inglés, que sólo estuve en un año, Form II, en MSB, año 67-68.
Que la Paz de Dios sea contigo y los tuyos,

Julio César Arreaza B

As you know, recently I have begun to receive again, with nostalgia the interesting circular, since I have not received them obviously in PDVSA, as of December.
Now that I have more time available, I it would like to be up to date and in this sense you sent Not 54.55 to me and 56 recently.
It would be interesting that in the next issue you send me the first 5 along with most recent mailings you sent.
Latter I will be to you asking for by mail others.
I agree friend.
This way we render a tribute to the memories, healthy nostalgia and to constructive and Christian principles of our formation.
And in my practical particular case the English, although I was only one year, Form II, in MSB, year 67-68.
Peace of God is with you and yours,

Apreciado Ladislao:
No sabes con cuanto placer leí tus últimas circulares enviadas en el mes de diciembre próximo pasado.
Un feliz año 2003 para ti y tu hermosa familia.
Información muy interesante acerca de la fecha de inicio del Mount en 1942 y que tristemente cerrara en 1985.
Es decir nuestro colegio duró 43 años.
Time flies.
Igualmente evoqué inolvidables recuerdos al ver la foto del patio del colegio donde jugabamos basquet, tomada el 12-08-01.
También se observaba el camino al comedor, en el Refactory, subiendo una calle, allí cerca quedaba el cine donde todos los sábados veíamos películas de Dorys Day.
Corrían los años de 1967 0 1968.
Creo que realizas una labor estupenda con el esfuerzo y constancia invertidas en la elaboración de las circulares.
No sabes cuanto aprecio tu devoción por este trabajo, que nos recrea historias que forman parte de nuestras vidas.
También me informé que en 1962 el colegió comenzó a terminar en julio en lugar de diciembre.
Estoy pendiente de escribir algo para las circulares que recree algo de mi epoca del colegio.
Un fuerte abrazo,

Julio César Arreaza B

You do not know with which pleasure I read your last circular mailed in the month of December next past.
A happy year 2003 for you and your beautiful family.
Very interesting information about the date of beginning of the Mount in 1942 and that sadly closed in 1985.
It is to say that our school lasted 43 years.
Time flies.
It also evoked unforgettable memories when seeing the photo of the patio of the school where we played basket, taken 12-08-01.
Also the way was observed the dining room, in the Refractory, going up a street, close were the cinema was where all Saturdays we saw films of Doris Day.
The years of 1967 - 1968 ran.
I believe that you make a wonderful work with the effort and certainty inverted in the elaboration of the circular.
You do not know how I esteem your devotion of this work, which recreates histories to us that comprise of our lives.
Also I inquired that in 1962 School began to finish in July instead of December.
I am pending to write something for the circular that recreates something of my era of the school.
A strong hug,

Photos: By Bodington, file 0002c4, 0002c3. I am sure nobody remembers those numbered in the photos. Not even those that are in the photos, like Farcheg, Lipavsky, De Marothy??? I have not heard from these for years.
