Dear Friends,
Good to be able to keep you updated with some news and
some of the old conversations.
I believe that these might inspire you to give me a
line or two, to keep material flowing and improve the contents of the Circular.
I am a firm believer that writing on remembrances
helps your mental sanity.
Can you make an effort and return my mailings to you
with some thoughts your appraisal of the last Circular and comments on future
articles and at the same time actualize your CV.

Gracias, from every one of us, from The Abbey School, Mt. St.Benedict - Long

I will try to create or incorporate it
in our website in the future.
Right now, I am studying to do these
sort of things.
It involves programming or coding on a
larger scale as opposed to just the usual uploading by a webmaster.
I will create a Facebook like section to
get the photos uploaded by the Boys as you suggested.
Thanks and appreciation for your many
postings and photos my friend.
As this Mount Facebook Group Admin, it
is always wonderful to see so much participation.
Thanks again to all who contribute.
Take care.

It would be nice to have an album, a
pictorial history of the Abbey School:
Students, priests, brothers, teachers,
scouts, individual sports, etc.
A tool so we can respectively post.
Better yet, just by year to year.

Hi, Gillian,
Good to hear from you, and to learn that
you have help with Leary.
I have double checked and can confirm
that Esmond has got every one of my notices concerning Ladislao’s Circulars,
just as you do.
I use the “esfran” address to send the
notices to him.
Ladislao no longer automatically sends
copies of the Circulars to everyone by email.
He maintains a list of persons who have
contributed financially to him that he does send them to directly.
For all the rest of us, he depends on me
publishing them on the Blog and letting everyone access them for free that way.
By the way, I think you are doing
brilliantly on the computer
There are hundreds of Old Boys out there
that know how to use Facebook and WhatsApp, but cannot spell two words in a row
correctly.
They try to type on their useless little
Korean telephones, and don’t bother to go back and correct the errors they
make, since it is more difficult with a telephone.
I get very upset whenever I receive a
message from any of them.
By contrast, hearing from you is a
delight!!
Best,
Don

Hi Don,
it’s me again this time writing on
behalf of my brother, Esmond Lange.
When I read the last of Ladislao’s
circulars I noticed that someone mentioned that he had answered Esmond’s email
but had never heard back from him or Esmond never received it.
I just checked with Esmond and he said
that although he used to get the circulars from Ladislao but then they stopped,
and he would be interested in receiving them again.
He gave me two addresses which I shall
pass on to you.
esmond@soundingboardaustralia.com.au
and the other one was
esfran@poppie.com.au.
I have forwarded this to Ladislao so
hope someone gets it!
I am not the best on computers as you
have probably realised by now but keep trying and wonder if my 82-year old
brain has any room for improvement!
I just wish that Leary could still enjoy
reading the emails as he really used to enjoy everyone’s news except for the
fact that there were few people of his age.
He is keeping well and enjoying life as
best he can and right now Rory, number two son and his wife have taken him to
the zoo so sure he is enjoying that!
Thanks for your help,
Gillian O’Connor

Hi Don,
Thanks for such a prompt response to my
email which means my esfran email address works with yours but unfortunately I
just got a rejection from Ladislao’s yahoo address even using my work email.
I will try again by copying him in on
this using his gmail address which does not have problems with my server!
Regrettably I have not been receiving
your blogs but hopefully that’s just because you did not previously have my
email address.
I am of course interested in hearing any
news of MSB OB as now that “old age” fast approaches it is great to reminisce
and catch up on others with whom I have lost contact.
We have been living in Perth for about
30 years after a long career as an international nomad working in the oil
industry.
Unfortunately, we don’t get back to the
WI very often as it is a very long way to travel though we did spend a month
visiting Antigua, a cruise from St Vincent down the Grenadines to Grenada and
then on to Barbados and Trinidad.
Re Mikey Holding (WI cricket great from
Jamaica); sorry but I thought you had been involved with the saga of WI cricket
and the dysfunctional Presidency of Dave Cameron over recent years; Mikey and I
have been friends for many years.
Warm regards and thanks for your help,
especially with Gillian.

Ladislao,
For some reason I seem to have dropped
off your radar/mailing list as have not received anything for quite some time.
However, I have been sent the latest one
by my brother in law Leary O’Connor and in it I see you (and maybe others) have
a yahoo email address.
My server, which is US based, has an
ongoing conflict with yahoo and therefore no emails transiting through yahoo
are able to get through to me and me to them – they say they are working on
solving it but I am not holding my breath!!
In the meantime, can you or anyone
trying to get in touch with me please use my work email address which is the
one I am using for this email.
Thanks, and very best regards and a
Happy and Prosperous 2020

Hi, Esmond,
Good to hear from you.
Ladislao has not been sending the
Circulars to all Old Boys for some years now.
He relies instead on me to send out the
notices of the appearance of his Circulars on the Blog two or three times a
month.
I send a notice to every Old Boy whose
email address I have.
I hope you have been receiving them.
He does email the Circulars directly to
several Old Boys who contribute to his financial expenses.
Best,
Don

Hi Don,
Can you reply if you get this email
which I am sending using my personal email address and server…. I sent the
following email to Ladislao after Gillian contacted me tonight – you will note
I used my work email as my US server has an issue with Yahoo…..
Thanks very much for your assistance,
PS: I believe you and I may have a very
good mutual friend, one Mikey Holding!!

old boy that you would like to include.

On Circular No 951, Nigel has 2 comments on the photographs:
ReplyDelete1. The photograph of “Christopher Crocker”, I believe, has been mis-identified. I think that the correct name of the boy should be “Christopher de Marothy”. (I may be wrong).
2. The two batsmen walking out to the pitch are Terrence Fereira and Jeffrey Camacho, who you have labelled as “Unknown.”
