Newsletter for past alumni of The Abbey School Mt. St. Benedict , Trinidad and Tobago
Dear Friends,
I would like to remind you that I still need the addresses, emails of your MSB friends.
I am missing about 500 old boy information that are in the files; and maybe there is another large amount old boys of those that I do not have their names, specially those in the 1970 to 1985.
I am glad to announce thru this Circular a new old boy, Glen McKoy:

Dear Salvador
Hi there, how are you? How is life?
I just found the abbey web site and saw your name, and somebody of around my age, I am 49 years this year (aug.9th.1956)
It’s good to see a old face.
I am bald but the same size didn’t change physically that much.
I left Trinidad around 1975, I came up to Halifax Nova Scotia
I lived in Trinidad about a year after the mount, and have been in Halifax/Canada since then.
I knew so many Venezuelan friends that I wish I knew what ever happened to them.
I met my wife Pam here in Canada , she was born in India and grew up in London England , and we got married in Trinidad in 1977, and have lived here since then.
I have three children Kelly 25, Sophia 22 and John 15.
Life has been good to me, some ups and downs but more ups than down.
I got in contact with Tim Healy about 3 yrs. ago he was in Florida then, so I went down to see him for a week, I think it was like 20 yrs since I last saw in Trinidad with his 1st wife and he has remarried since then.
My brother Hudson (piano player) is now a bank manager with the Royal bank in Toronto
My wife is with the Bank of Montreal, I also work for the bank 23 year now, I am in cheque processing electronic banking etc.
I might retire in 6 years, could you believe that.
I think mono loco is in Toronto
I have a bunch of photos from mount, when I get a chance I will send them in, I think you are in some of the scout photo, you as a boy, any how must go now just wanted to say hi .............

Glen,
This is from another Glen (one N).
Got your email from Salvador
I left Trinidad after Mount and joined Schlumberger (oil) and funny enough was sent to Venezuela
I have been around the world to Far East ,Middle East , India , Africa all of South and North America , etc. ending up in Ft Lauderdale where my wife comes from.
Been married 16 years ( no children, however, I am the big baby ) and like you happy.
I am 50 and also going bald but still feel 30.
Looking back and remembering the old days I hold no resentment and often return to our homeland to visit my parents.
On occasion, I realize that when my faith is tested it makes for endurance-----Undoubtedly one of the many trophies resulting from my stay at PAX IN VIRTUTE.
Saludos and keep well.
G
