Newsletter for past alumni of The Abbey School , Mt. St. Benedict , Trinidad and Tobago , W.I.
Caracas , 12 of March 2005. Circular No. 175
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Friends,
Before I start with this newsletter, I must ask those that visit us in Caracas, that our Cellphone number is 0416 612 5695. Specially those that visit Isaias Farcheg, as editor of this prestigious newsletter, to be able to log the visit and appear in the Circular, I need at least a telephone call. The reason is simple, I am getting information from second hand of these and other visits, with no writable information available, I am unable to write on the event, photos, etc.

Hello Lazslo,
I hope this will help that's me on the left and on the right is my brother in law Joseph. We both work for a cable company I now work for Cox Communications Cable TV in Lake Charles, Louisiana. I have been in the cable business now 30 years. Of course I have been sold at least 5 times and now were up for sale again but am still in the same city. My brother in law Joseph works for Phonoscope Cable TV in Houston, Texas. In this picture we were at a Cable Convention in San Antonio , Texas . Last year. Well Mr Lazslo if there is any thing I can help you with let me know. Maybe I will tell you my story of my life one day.
I hope you and your family have a blessed Easter.
Thanks.
P.S. My e-mail is hccmv8@cox.net

Hello Mr Coscarart,
My name is Herman Verkruissen, I just found out myself about the web site from the abbey in Trinidad. And I saw that you are living in Bristol, Louisiana. I did' finish school I went in 1960 and 1961 when my father told me that we were moving to Mexico. I am from Holland but not a citizen yet but working on it. We left Mexico 2 years later to New Orleans then moved to Lake Charles where I have been now for 40 years. I did found a picture of me on the site. www.theabbeyschool.com/MSBBiography/htm Go to class photos and scroll down to class of 1966 ( Taken earlier ) top row I am the 3rd one from the right with light hair. That was a surprise for me. Anyway let me know if you received my e-mail maybe one day we can meet and talk about the school. Since I saw the web site I have been putting a book together with every thing I can find.
Anyway take.
Herman Verkruissen

Dear Ladislao,
First of all, a very Happy New Year to you and may you have a very good, healthy and blessed 2005. I really enjoy getting the circulars and catching up on the news of the some of the guys we used to know in our youth. I noticed you had not sent me any circulars recently and just thought that maybe you were on a Christmas break or away on holiday somewhere. Anyway please try again as I don't know why my address is rejecting your circulars. I hope you get this from me. Some guys e.g. Paul de Labastide, Howard Ho saw my address and wrote me. It was nice making contact again.
Best regards
Annabella.

Happy New Year and good health.

Hello Ladislao,
How are you and your family? Well first of all I would like to wish you a very merry x-mas and a happy new year 2005.

I will try over the phones and as soon as I find anything I'll let you know. I have not received any more circulars the last one was #156. I have had some problems with my computer but now I have a new one so if you are still sending the circulars please send me the latest, Thank you again for the wonderful job on the circulars best wishes and my regards to all the ABBEY BOYS.
