Feliz Navidad es nuestro mensaje para todos

Hola Ladislao espero para ti y los tuyos que tengas un Feliz año.
Me tome un break para leer tu mail de este fin de semana (estoy preparando un escrito que debo presentar mañana en tribunales.
Te cuento que acerca de Henrique Gómez es posible que Gustavo el hermano de Rafael Echeverria pueda saber algo.
Por casualidad de la vida fuimos vecinos hace unos 12 o 14 años en la Urbanización Manzanares en las Residencias Este 9.
La última vez que converse con él fue en el Sambil y no se si sería hace unos 4 años, pero no lo he vuelto a ver.
Disculpame la brevedad pero te llamo con más calma hacia el fin de semana
Saludos

Debo empezar por agradecer tu gentil llamada del día martes.
Trate de enviarte respuesta ayer pero sabes en ciertas ocasiones estas maquinas se ponen algo necias y no hubo forma de hacerlo.
Debo explicarte que efectivamente estudié en Mount St. Benedict en los años escolares 66-67 y 67-68, en form I y form II respectivamente.
Me parece formidable que alguien haya tomado la iniciativa de reunir información y exalumnos en este extraordinario medio que es el web.
Espero que podemos compartir más adelante experiencias y tantos recuerdos de aquella epoca.
Los teléfonos de mi oficina son 2863323/2862440, es un despacho de abogados.
Espero que en futuro cercano mantengamos comunicación constante.
Saludos

I must begin by thanking you for your gentile call on the day, Tuesday.
I tried to send you an answer yesterday but you know in certain occasions these foolish machines just do not work and there was no form to do it.
I must tell you that indeed I studied in Mount St. Benedict in scholastic years 66-67 and 67-68, in form I and form II respectively.
It seems to me formidable that somebody has taken the initiative to collect to data on the alumni in this extraordinary means that is the Web.
I hope that we can share in the future experiences and so many memories of that era.
The telephones of my office are 2863323/2862440, it is an office of lawyers.
I hope that in near future we maintain communication constant.
Greetings

Laz,
I gave you my other email address before, but you only sent one or two circulars before you reverted to hotmail.
Here it is: moedev@look.ca
The last circular for which I received and attachment was #199.
Thereafter, nada!
I mentioned this in our MSN chat that you copied in circular #116, but you must have misunderstood.
Have a super Christmas day tomorrow.

Dear Maurice,
I have placed you in Kertesz12@yahoo.com, for the attachments.
But seems that it has been returned, so please open a yahoo.com mail even if it is only for the Circulars.
I can resend the No. 200+ but tell me the ones missing,
I am keeping you in Hotmail so that we may chat.
God Bless
