Laz,
I got through to Noel Llanos at the number you gave me, but I must have awakened him.
Sorry, Noel. (Doesn't everyone get up at 5.00 a.m.?) Noel hasn't heard from any of the Abbey School crew for ages, so my telephone call must have surprised him. Anyway, his email address is nllanos@shaw.ca. I believe that Sean Costello's phone number is incorrect.
Keep getting someone named "Carl".
Regards,

Nigel

Wonderful contact, Las.
I've just spoken with Egan and YUP! He’s the same old Egan from MSB.
He's been living in Canada since 1964 or 1966 and has his own real-estate company.
He's gong to send me an email msg. and I've asked him to copy you as well.
Thanks for the tip, Las.
We'll get together soon.
Regards,
Nigel

Las,
Here's an excerpt from a recent (Christmas 2004) MSB Newsletter, which you might find interesting:
"August 2004 marked the launching of Mount St. benedict into Cyber Space (sic). Several monks had indicated over the past year that this was the wave of the future and that the Mount had to embrace travel along the information highway in order to stay relevant to modern society. After the Abbatial election of November 2003, Abbot President Clestine Cullen, in his address to the monastic community, urged us to embrace the new technology and launch out into the wide and wonderful world of Cyber Space (sic.)
He indicated that this was an effective means of communicating with the new generation and was a way of attracting young men to consider a call to the monastic way of life. His words were taken seriously and within a few months www.paxabbey.com was born. This would not have been possible without the assistance given to us by a former member of our community, Deacon Lionel Roberts, now ministering in Florida, USA, and his friend in Pittsburgh, Monsignor Anton Dechering. We are very grateful to both of them. The site is a modest attempt to share our life with a greater cross-section of people. From our home on the Internet, we share news, views and pews with all. In our 2001 Christmas Newsletter, Fr. Hildebrand Greene had written a prophetic article, "Monks on Line" in which he proposed St. Benedict as the patron of cyberspace."
Perhaps some of us might like to check out www.paxabbey.com?
Happy Easter to everyone.
Nigel
