Caracas, 2 of April 2005. Circular No. 178

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Friends,
A new comer to the Circular of past ALUMNI of The Abbey School, good job, Leary
I found David in the internet, he has a page and others link to his page of paintings.
But of course there is no way to contact him in the page, so I looked up the telephone directory for Australia and “Bingo”, he had an address, telephone number, etc. I sent these to my friend Leary and “Voila” another old boy found.
But no luck with IAIN “WABBA” MILNE, another of the West Indian painters, I haven’t been able to decipher his telephone number, can anyone help???

Dear Ladislao,
Well I believe you were far before my time. But I am impresses with the idea of a site for Mount St Benedict's. If there is such a thing. So far I have only received your letter and the photo attached, which seemed incomplete by the way because one of the names was Mr Tyrell, and he was not on the photo perhaps there was another photo. I like the idea of email addresses attached also. I too would like to know the story of Mount St Benedict. I guess I lost touch when I left in 60 or 61, I am not sure. Wouldn't it be great to see photos of all the classes? Well here is my contribution. I am sure I have more some where but cannot find them at present. As to which class this is I am not sure but some of the names I will try to fit in.
David de Boehmler.

Here is the list matching numbers with names:

Top left to right
1. Michael Azar, (Joe)
2.....
3.......
4......
5.....
6. Edward Lloyd.
7. Simon de Costa, Barbados?....

10....
11.
12..........
13.Agoustini ?...
14.......
15.Hokoon?...
16..Herrera ??..
17.Scheult Jnr

PS. The names won't be spelled properly. Hope someone enjoys these, and can fill in the missing names. Will try to find the other photos. Thanks for the effort.

(I am enclosing “Class 1964 azar 150 15” photo, where you can check out the names given to me by David. Ed.)
Maybe Joe can help, remember that Don Mitchell Boxhead graduated in 1963 and finally left school in 1964, so he appears with two groups.
Remember to make note of the FILE name used for the photo when answering.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
David has been a prolific artist for the past 30 years, working in every medium. Over the last few years he has focused on watercolours. He has had exhibits in Australia, Canada, Trinidad and the United States. You can purchase some of his art from this site. We have a new page called the Gallery, where you can see a sampling of works that have sold. David also works as an illustrative sign painter and commercial artist, specializing in artistic signage, but he makes every effort to put his art first.

David and his lovely Australian wife, Joy, live on the south coast of Victoria, Australia. His current works depict life in the tropics - focussing on his homeland, the beautiful, tropical islands of Trinidad and Tobago, with its fun loving people. His paintings reflect the vibrant colours and scenes found on all the islands in the Caribbean and in many other tropical places - beaches, boats, vegetation, people, street and market scenes.
