Newsletter for past alumni of The Abbey School, Mt. St. Benedict, Trinidad and Tobago, W.I.
Caracas, 16 April 2005. Circular No. 180------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Friends,
I am including O.A.S.I.S. files from Arthur Knaggs, BULL No. 13 sent on March 1985.
Need information on the ALUMNI that are to be mentioned, I do not have all the email addresses and telephones, or even the wellbeing for some of them:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dearly Beloved,
Time and money have once more motivated me into releasing our little periodical to bear Easter tidings to you all at this time and joyful period in our Church calendar.
The Easter challenge is:
I am only one, Lord, but I am one.
I cannot do everything but I can do something.
What I can do, I ought to do.
And what I ought to do, by your grace, I will do.

I got a letter from Fr. Cuthbert, asking for contacts with coin collectors inTrinidad .
I only knew Fred Hilderbrand at Fed. Chem., but I believe there is a Numismatic Society inTrinidad .
He reports that the school is down to 80 boys and our old 2ndMt. St. Benedict is down to 17, almost all Venture Scouts.
The best news is that Abbot Bernard is moving about quite a lot with admirable patience and is into Charismatics.
Fr. Idelfons is still rowing around the island while Bro. Anthony and Bro. Bruno are still actively involved in the Domestics of the Abbey.
Still have not tracked down ARTHUR DU BOULAY, but NOEL DE VERTEUIL in Quebec would certainly like to get hold of him as they worked together at Shell years ago.
Heard MIKE “Donkey Man” KENNY is with Dowell inLondon
He never was very good at English Composition!!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When is a question of money, everyone is of the same religion.
I got a letter from “Shaves”Ferguson
Have been promising to pay him a visit and see Disney World but keep spending all my money.
He can be reached at205 Lake Gibson Lane , Lakeland , Florida 33805
He sells TV´s, stereos, VCR´s, computers, etc. for Montgomery Ward.
His daughter, Lissette, has graduated from high school and went on a trip toHawaii and is now at University of Florida
Son, Nicholas, is into scuba diving andStanley went on a trip with him to Jamaica
Peter, his brother, is studying for Priesthood andNewton , N.J.
I need his address.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Have not heard from ALBERT KNOWLES in ages, is he still in circulation inTrinidad ???.
Got a Christmas card fro Chris Krogh (with goodies), keep well and basks in the sunshine around his pool.
His brother Kevin and wife Linda, are on their 8th kid.
Fr. Abbot, would you please have a chat and remind them that we are now operating on Vatican II, and that they are allowed to come up for air.
Don’t have his address and don’t want it, if “this thing” is contagious.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LOVE YOUR CHILDREN, it is easier to build a boy, than mend a man. Do the same with girls.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Got a real “Palm Sunday Gospel” from Bernard Lange, c/o The cottage,Mt. St. Benedict , St. Augustine , Trinidad and he writes for the newspaper, the Sunday morning RAP, with his usual elasticity and talent.
He still coaches the Aqua-lads Swimming Team (and Lasses); times sure have changed at the Old Mount.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He has passed on the names of STAN MORA and DEOLAL BEHARRY of the Guardian.
Also mentioned NIGEL GOMES and PETER QUESNEL but no their addresses.
Bernard, really would like the address of those others you gave me so that I can forward some news.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I learnt that RICHARD LORENZO is a peace Officer inToronto
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Spring, with great difficulty, is endeavouring to thaw its way into the Atlantic Region.
I, too, am rushing to clear this backlog of news from my “MUST BE DONE TODAY” file; which has been lying around for the past three months.
Please note that due to financial hardship, bulletins will only be going to regular subscribers and to the news reporters.
All others will just be out of luck.
Hope to hear from you soon.
