Circular No 192




Newsletter for past alumni of The Abbey School, Mt. St. Benedict, Trinidad and Tobago, W.I. Caracas, 9 of July 2005. Circular No. 192
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Friends,

Here we continue with our favourite alumnus, Arthur Knaggs, with his various friends.

Why so many emails from Arthur?? Well, he is kind enough to send me emails for publishing, and he is favourite to the Circular for helping out.

Hope this information is going to inspire others in writing similar stories and recount the wonderful news when they have met a long lost friend.

Ladislao,

What a superb job you are doing with all the new contacts of "my" era, and it is just marvellous.

I am trying to get some more addresses for you or whoever is keeping count??!!

What I would like is to be able contact Fr. Cuthbert at The Abbey, do you have an e-mail for them.

I am condensing the A>S>A Bulletins and will post soon.

Sincerely,

Art

Yes Howard, It is I.

So great to hear from you and to know that your Mum is still in there pitching, wish her all the very best from us.

Guess you got my e-mail from the Mount Bulletin and think Ladislao and his crowd are doing an excellent job.

Keep in touch.

Val & I are fine and keeping very well.

What are you up to these days, and where do you hang out?

As Always,
Art

Is this the Arthur Knaggs from the old days in St Augustine when you visited Wilson St/ Deane St (Susie Ho-Mum)?...

How are you and where are you?...don't know if you remember me from those days ... I'm in Houston, TX.

Mum will be having her 90th birthday in Orlando, where Bernice is presently living....take care.

All the best,

Howard.

Cecil,
What on Earth are you doing for Heaven's sake?

Haven't had a peep out of you in years, and don't know when we will be coming down to Bimshire.

Heard that Thelly was due to be with you this week, but learnt that that it was postponed and she will be there next week sometime.

Hope you are both fine, frolicking in the new Year, and having a general ball.

Say howdy to Scipio (next door) and the Mount Old Boys are trying to track down all the Old Tyrants that roamed the hills at it's conception, and you and Scipio, as well as Jack, fit the bill, and you are all together, Ladislao is the prime mover, and by copy I am asking him to put you on the mailing list, as they need some old stories from way back.

If you have Scipio's e-mail or any other bajan mount urchin, let us know.

Jack Knaggs can be got through Eve Browne.

Keep smiling, and they will never know when you are in mischief.

Keep me posted on Thelly, and teach her how to use the e-mail, she is a great typer.

As always.

Keith,

How the heck are you all down in the sun?

We are both fine, enjoying fine health, and having a great time.

What about you?

Retired Yet?

Am trying to get a hold of some Mount Old boys (and their E-mail addresses) but I know Ray De Cambra is Computer Challenged, and lost touch with Anthony Lucky (is he still in the Royal Bank?)

Need to get a hold of someone from Mount, who has e-mail, and has some contacts. If you can help, I would be most grateful.

Give us a bit of an update on your life.

As ever,

Art

Hi Earl & Elaine,

We almost got to you two.

Went to Jasper in July and met with Jigger and Ian in Vancouver, but back home travelling again.

How are you all?

Earl are you in touch with the Mount "Old Boys", as Ladislao in Venezuela has taken up the task of continuing the old Mount Outside and the O.A.S.I.S, so drop him a line, and give him any e-mails on old Mounties that you may have.

We are fine, and are on a Years Adventure and will be hovering down to the U.S. mid Oct to mid Dec; then back in N.S. for Christmas, and then to T & T for Jan, Feb & Mar 05.

Drop us a line

As always with love,

Art & Val

Great hearing from you Anthony, and wondered where you were at.

We will be in Victoria for the month of July, our son Edward plays Rugby for Canada and is stationed there; they are expecting a new baby mid June.

Guess you will be long gone by then.

Would love to keep in touch.

We are fine and buzzing along.

Lovely to hear from you both.

As always

Art & Val

Dear Arthur,
My name is Anthony Lucky. Remember?

I saw your address in Ladislao's latest Circular.

My wife, Cintra, and I are currently in Vancouver visiting our eldest daughter and our 20 month granddaughter Isabel.

We had been in Ancaster visiting another daughter and our grandson whose second birthday was 12 April.

We return home via Ancaster and Toronto on 9 May.

It is possible that I may be called to return to Hamburg where I now sit as a judge of the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea to preside in a case.

I trust all is well with you and family and really hope this e-mail reaches.

With best wishes,

Anthony Lucky

Hi Ladislao,

Actually, Arthur Knaggs is in Tobago at present, I do not have an 'e' mail address but he can be contacted at (868) 631 1094 –

Arthur would be around 72 - he is Jack's brother and knows how to contact Jack who is probably about 76!

Gregory is closer to the 60 mark that you mentioned and his telephone is 624 1215.

I hope this assists you in getting the Abbey Boys together.

Someone who you might also want to contact if you haven't done so already is Peter Darwent tel # 632 7378 - his brother is Walter who would have been at mount around the same time as Jack.

Good Luck -

Great Photos, and thanks a million for keeping us all so informed.

Had a great re-union in Barbados with Cecil Ince, Scipio Soodeen and brother Jack Knaggs ( three Original Starters) of "The Mount".

Cecil hosted a dinner and has some photos, so hound him for them, with short write up. Regards,

Arthur "Scroongie" Knaggs

Copy should be sent to Alcoholics Anonymous, judging from the array of stimulants displayed.

Really appreciate all the work you are doing to keep the memories flowing.
