Dear Friends,
We have received news of aother New old Boy, Alex Tary, of the Hungarian gang.
I am sure he has interesting stories of his time, maybe Csaba Jakobszen can fill in?

Dear Friend,
I am looking for David (peanuts), Paul, Raymond and Roger, who went to the Abbey School, Mt. St. Benedict, Trinidad and Tobago, about three or four decades ago.
Can you help??
God Bless

Great, Nigel.
I think Ladislao is missing quite a few emails. 
I know he does not get most of mine addressed to “kertesz11@yahoo.com”. 
They get through to “kaviacion@gmail.com”. 
I am also trying his Yahoo address just to see what happens.
Fantastic news that you are well enough to be responding to emails.
Best,
Don

Hi Don,
Thank you for all your good wishes re .my health.
I have already emailed Laz a few days ago approving the Circular (either #943 or 946 - I’ve forgotten which it was), and given him my permission to proceed with it as written.
Thanks for checking with me. That was most thoughtful.
Many blessings to you for this New Year of 2020.

Hi, Nigel,
Here’s hoping that you are soldiering through the recovery with a degree of comfort, and that 2020 will be a better year for you than 2019 must have been!
Ladislao has a new Circular for posting but it includes yours and your brother’s with details of your operation. 
Some of us have no qualms about our medical details being published, but some do. 
He tells me that he is not sure his enquiry of you whether you approve the publication has gone through to you, since he has not heard back. 
He asks me to try to see if I can contact you with the question. 
Would you prefer him to omit the medical details?
Keep as well as you can.
Best,
Don

Hi Joe,
Thanks so much for continuing to lead this effort; am very proud of you for doing it and for all those who are helping you.
Sharing the year end status of the Team George fund raising effort over the last 2.5 months. 
A time of the year when folks are very appreciative and thankful for the gifts that God has blessed us with. 
Some thoughts:
What is the 2020 fund raising goal?
When and how do we plan to share the funds collected?
Are there any other fund raising activities currently taking place?
How many alums will be supported in 2020?
Will we continue to use the USA $35/alum/month factor = USA $420/alum/year
The $1500 collected so far represents donations made by 8 families; some of whom have contributed 3 times.  
It would be great if the ASAA and those alums receiving the assistance could share a thank you note with the donors to create a personal link. 
I do it every time that I receive a donation but it would be more meaningful and effective coming from the ASAA and/or an alum. 
Developing another idea for 2020 which I will share shortly when it is completed; we can all probably use it among our family and friends.
A Blessed 2020 to all,
George

Dear Mr. Kertesz,
My cousin, Peter Tarr, was an alumni, between 1945 and 1955.
I have lost all contact with the Tarr family, and now live in the US.
Do you have any record of what happened to Peter and his family.  
I do not know if he still lives in Trinidad.   
I do remember he married a Miss Trinidad, and brought her over to England to meet us.
It would be wonderful if you have a contact for him, or any further suggestions or names of friends who may know where he is.
Sincerely,
Sandra Tarr

Just received your latest circular and I feel a need to answer with a photo of myself and family. 
From left to right are Dave, my son-in-law, Sandy, my wife, Monica, daughter and Dave’s wife, followed by my grandkids Joseph and Annette, daughter Andrea, and myself on the right. 
Picture was taken two days into the new year, just a few days after my 83rd birthday. 
You could say I am an Old Boy but I term myself a well-pickled old fart.
Our principal location is in northern California, about 230 miles north of San Francisco and maybe about 140 miles south of the Oregon border. 
A great place to live.

25/8/18 16:19 - Ladislao Kertesz: Hola Pablo I did not know that Adolfo has created a new group, but I find it good.
25/8/18 16:20 - Msbvc Kecskemeti Pablo: It is logical to unite those that receive relief help , I shall talk to him
25/8/18 16:21 - Ladislao Kertesz: How do you communicate with those that do not have whatsapp?  Are you in contact with Roberto mezzana?
25/8/18 16:21 - Msbvc Kecskemeti Pablo: have you spoken to him
25/8/18 16:21 - Ladislao Kertesz: Jesús López?
25/8/18 16:22 - Msbvc Kecskemeti Pablo: He is also included. Luis Alfredo Mezzana is also there. No Roberto, no
25/8/18 16:24 - Ladislao Kertesz: The idea is to have all those that receive donations can chat for the common good in the difficult situation we are in. It seems that the lack of information exchange is affecting the recollection of funds.
25/8/18 16:26 - Msbvc Kecskemeti Pablo: Whatever, but the aid is coming to an end
25/8/18 16:26 - Ladislao Kertesz: I am informing this as the editor of the Circular. That is right my friend
25/8/18 16:27 - Msbvc Kecskemeti Pablo: We are duplicating information...  with 2 groups
25/8/18 16:27 - Ladislao Kertesz: But I do not think that it cannot be reverted
25/8/18 16:29 - Msbvc Kecskemeti Pablo: We will wait and see
25/8/18 16:29 - Ladislao Kertesz: Since I did not know that the group existed. I was working to gather información and would include those with simple phones
25/8/18 16:30 - Msbvc Kecskemeti Pablo: Get in touch with Adolfo and you 2 sort it out
25/8/18 16:31 - Ladislao Kertesz: So I am scratching my experiment.
25/8/18 16:31 - Msbvc Kecskemeti Pablo: You guys are the old old..  boys we are just old
25/8/18 16:32 - Msbvc Kecskemeti Pablo: Ok
25/8/18 16:33 - Ladislao Kertesz: I only tried to reach all those in need just like with the circular. Number 877 was sent out today
25/8/18 16:36 - Ladislao Kertesz: I Hope that the bs. soberano  is working out with you.  Your salary just raised by the government..I am old old and with the pension.  Shall see next month. Haha..: Next week Pedro and Isaías are inviting for a lunch Hope you can assist
25/8/18 16:41 - Msbvc Kecskemeti Pablo: I guarantee you that in a short time... they are scratching 3 or more zeros
25/8/18 16:43 - Ladislao Kertesz: If he can get some more funds from Trinidad we might weather it.
25/8/18 16:43 - Msbvc Kecskemeti Pablo: I am short of money,
25/8/18 16:44 - Ladislao Kertesz: If I can be of help, or the circular, to make an appeal please let me know.
25/8/18 16:45 - Msbvc Kecskemeti Pablo: Have to cut expenses
25/8/18 16:47 - Ladislao Kertesz: We must unite and use all efforts for a common cause..I am sure you have and I have things in common that would make our life easier but we must cooperate
25/8/18 16:50 - Ladislao Kertesz: we can talk this over during the future lunch.  Remember that the Metro fare is free.
28/8/18 11:53 - Msbvc Kecskemeti Pablo: Hola Ladislao, llama a Gabriel Hofle 0414-902-5941 old mount boy
28/8/18 11:54 - Ladislao Kertesz: Ok gracias
