Ladislao,
The Gentleman in the Photo is NOT a Gianetti but he may be a Gioannetti.
There are several ...Gerard, John, Nicholas and Roger.
He doesn't look like John who attended several years before me.
I (Shaun) graduated in 1979 (I am now 42).
My brother Michael Gianetti who is 2 years older than I did not graduate.
My other younger brother Ian Gianetti graduated in 1984.

I noted with interest the email from Llewelyn Mac Intosh.
Usually referred to as "Mackie".
He was an excellent teacher, though not the most favourite because he also had the role of "Dean of Discipline" which was not popular when he brought out the "pesse" and doled out licks to those who may have (or not) deserved it.
The son of the lawyer Theodore Guearra, was always getting licks (can't remember his first name).

PART I of various to be published by Ladislao Kertesz. (my 50 words instead of a check)
Effectively today the school does not look the same as when I was there.
I am going to write a short resume leading to my stay that started in 1955.
I went to the Abbey School
My father was a friend of Matias Fedak´s father who recommended the school.
My father got my uncle interested and I was enrolled in their idea.
I was told of the impending trip in July 1955 after I finished primary school here in Caracas
I remember starting to make a list of English words that I knew; they did not number more than 25 if my memory is right.
No problem, I did not know that in TT people spoke only English with a few exceptions.
I was with the expectations of a treat, an airplane flight of over an hour, since I had never been on an airplane before.
The airplane was a Viking, if I find a photo in the future I shall include it, specially for you pilots.
The day of the flight approached without a sweat, I had no way of knowing what the future had for me. I have tried to think of my bravery but I believe that the opportunity for a flight overwhelmed reason.
The trip was long enough at about 10000 feet , I could see people walking in the streets and vehicles on the road.
Then suddenly the announcement that we were about to land.
Here suddenly I got nervous, as my parents were not close, etc.
I disembarked the airplane and walked apprehensively towards the terminal building together with the rest of the passengers.
I had in my hand a slip of paper with my future address, The Abbey School and the contact. Fr. Bernard,
Suddenly I saw a white robed person and three kids, I only remember that it was Bro. Vincent, Manuel Prada and two other kids.
The emigration part was fast and off we went to the school, which was clearly seen at the distance, just as today, a monument.
I had arrived a week early, which was good as I met all the priest and the Venezuelan boys with whom friendship was obvious, only then I realized that there was a language problem.
The rest of the story shall be posted in a new circular. I believe in equal time.
(Can anyone write their experiences as to the first day?? Ed.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------.
REMEMBER TO PAY YOUR DUE, 50 WORDS PER YEAR, OR SEND A CHECK preferably from any U.S. Bank, to my mailing address:
Ladislao Kertesz
Apartado 69072
Caracas 1062A Venezuela
For those that prefer this way to cooperate with the Circular and the expense that this generates. It is 52 issues per year.
God Bless
Ladislao
