Thanks, Neil,

I’ve published the comment on the Blog. 

I don’t think many alumni know how to visit the comments, far less make one, so I don’t know how many will see it. 

Still, thanks for responding and adding to the lore!!

Keep your head down and keep safe.

Don

And you all still “carrying on” with this nonsense???

It is sad the school closed when it did (Mid 80’s) but it did. 

I left in June 1984 and went to the U.K. in 1985 and it was after that, that I heard news of it being closed down then eventually closing down. It is what it is.

End of story.

Best wishes 

Neil

3/3/20 Moffie Edgar: Santiago I saw it happen in El Tigrito in December, but it was not continuous, it only happened at my parents' house once, they presented with the same operation, but without vehicles, and they were told bye bye Pescao ..... here in Maturin they enter the housing and have tried to do the same ... but they are dispatched to leave the housing and they have been alert ... thanks for the information ... in fact they are from the clan that is already known red red ... greetings

3/3/20 Robleda: un abrazo y cariño vienen recorriendo todo el país que bolas

5/3/20 Aumaitre Adolfo: Dear brother Jesus Lopez, I chatted with Joe yesterday night and he told me that you had not contacted him as jet, please do it because they are very worry for your situation in TT

13/3/20 Robleda: Morning brothers three days without internet it is really desperate losing contact with everybody I am truly sorry sometimes I feel guilty for letting this fucking happened to us sorry for my French situation

16/3/20 Aumaitre Adolfo: There are things that cannot be understood: People remember Santa Barbara when it thunders as the popular saying goes, they go crazy sending messages of preventive measures to others on WhatsApp and then you see him at the door of his house without even taking a face mask on. They put the crazy person in the face, is that perhaps they have nothing else to do, but to alarm and panic the others. May God have mercy on them

21/3/20 Moffie Edgar: Recommendation for my friends and brothers, in these days of quarantine you have to be more intelligent and permissive, that is, do not search, I repeat do not seek to have trouble with the woman, remember that there is nowhere to go, the bars and liquor store closed, there is no gasoline, there is no plan B, then go crazy and throw papers, it is better for now to tell everything if my love, better days will come and revenge is sweet and cold, cold beers will be waiting for us, greetings and happy day. They sent me to wash the bathroom, we'll talk later! I'm going my love

22/3/20 Robleda Santiago: We must take this quarantine calmly so that we do not end up insane, a while ago I commented on it with the microwave and the blender and they think the same thing. godfather López of these events

23/3/20 Kecskemeti Pal: In Venezuela the Viruschino will not be as devastating as in other countries for several reasons:

1) the population is demobilized due to gasoline shortages

2) public transportation does not exist

3) the population fears getting sick because they know in detail the cost and tragedy of public and private health, if they don't take care of themselves they die alone

4) a very low % of the population has health insurance and therefore takes care of themselves

5) for years people are used to having food reserves due to guarimbas, strikes, shortages, etc.

6) sick people know that by not getting medicines they buy them well in advance for several months

7) nobody gets bored, years ago they did not go to the movies, there is no theater, it is expensive to go to restaurants or bars and less to the beach or to travel by plane

8) On average, fewer people live in homes in the country and are more spacious than in Europe or the rest of Latin America, which makes confinement more bearable

9) for a long time many people already worked at home, so many will continue to produce

10) most people make their food avoiding the expense of restaurants, also they all have an electric, gas or cook with firewood

11) Venezuelan humor emerges even in the most difficult moments ...

For all these reasons, the Venezuelan will successfully face the Chinese virus, because all these years the narco-government made him immune and almost immortal !!!

23/3/20 Luongo Humberto: I respectfully address the administrators of the group to propose, as indeed I propose, the admission and inclusion of Rafael Echeverría. As a better reference I remind you that Rafael is the son of the former Venezuelan Ambassador to Trinidad, while we were in Mount ... Here is his phone number ..

23/3/20 Luongo Humberto: 001 786 768 4135. Rafael Echeverría

23/3/20 Aumaitre Adolfo: Hello, Humberto of course, we all know Rafael There is a problem with the number WhatsApp does not appear, please rectify it

24/3/20 Robleda Santiago: Greetings to all my brothers at Mount St Benedict, as things stand there along with Adolfo Robertico and Humbertico, as this Caripe that I carry. 9 days locked up and on virus mother stop watching the news because I'm going to get sick of virus Good morning. Attention the prevention measures are redoubled the security forces take the spaces of the Sucre parish with greater force. They should not leave their residences by PSUV security

24/3/20 10:38 - +58 414-3879740: Brother in Caripe, everything is fine, even at home, we go out for what is strictly necessary.

24/3/20 Robleda Santiago: gracias hermano cuidense

24/3/20 Luongo Humberto: Hello Santiaguito, as cousin Roberto has said, that's right, no more and no less ... Praying to God that Caripe did not get there ... and I wish this pandemic would never have gotten anywhere and had not been unleashed. Politics, geopolitics and the great powers that are fighting to dominate the world and invent, create, a virus that is as lethal as the atomic bomb ... It is already on the horizon that the new wars will not be atomic or bacteriological. ... they will be viral ... It will be stronger and more dangerous who is capable of producing more viruses ... And the rest of humanity will be screwed !!!. Who would have thought when we left Caripe to study in Trinidad, each one a promise, full of dreams, hopes and illusions, with his gaze on the future, that humanity would end up being so wicked !!! ??? Definitely my brother I do not belong to this time, I ride in it because I still live but I was far behind in time. I love the past ... I am a past tense. I dream of the hacienda and peasant life ... the horse, the dog, the cow, the milking, the work of the coffee and the morning coffee before the stove, the distant school, the return home and the afternoon bath with taste of glory .. In order not to extend myself so much in melancholic remembrances, I conclude with this epitaph ... The perverse technology turned humanity into shit. And we are crap eaters ... some real eaters

24/3/20 Robleda Santiago: We are on the same wavelength. I have not become accustomed to the technology that, well used, offers all the benefits you want, but this is an example of the misuse. brought to China that the Chinese created it to destabilize the world economy that if the Chinese acquired the shares of European and American companies in China for 20 p 30% less than their value what if I know that in 9 days locked up it has changed us And when we get out of this if God wants no, our attitude was different before, I had a quiet life, not luxurious, because the enrollment of the high school under Much before this time, but now I only go out to buy food only and I prefer to send jokes to that bombarded me. ill more I have a granddaughter in the USA family in Spain in Colombia and I must give encouragement and hope for that brother I try to give you and them a little joy so take care that with the favor of Diana we are going to leave from this a hug for all my brothers and write that I read all that is the other fear of hunger is the trigger that surpasses the coronavirus

25/3/20 Luongo Humberto: Again to thank you for incorporating Rafael Echeverría into our group. Thank you

25/3/20 Aumaitre Adolfo: Walk in Tucupita, example of quarantine for the rest of Venezuela

26/3/20 Malaver Chente Jenny Gutierrez: I share with you in case you want to join: Although for many people, this initiative seems insignificant and meaningless, we cannot continue waiting for someone to solve certain situations for us, so here I share this, hoping that they join this initiative and that this if it becomes very viral. * You only have to invest a minute, only one, I hope you join. * I put an alarm on the cel clock to notify me every day, today minimum until the end of the year. We have never had such a dangerous world with so much drug trafficking, so much violence, so much disease, fear for our children. (The 5 continents are at risk with so much vital disease and so much violence) I share with you a Sensational and Extraordinary Idea:

During World War II, A COUNSEL to Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill organized a group of people to stop at a certain time, every night, what they were doing to pray collectively for peace, security and people from England.

So they did every day, the city remained "on hiatus", such was the power of prayer!

It had an amazing effect because in a short time the bombardment ended

Here in our country a group of people is organizing, inviting people to pray for a minute every night at * 10:00 PM * for our WORLD for the Health and safety of its inhabitants, that the coronavirus is controlled and crime be eradicated and may God guide the decisions of our rulers.

Please ask you to join this campaign. Let's stop what we are doing * EVERY DAY AT 10PM FOR A MINUTE, let's ask FOR PEACE AND HEALTH IN THE WORLD, so that the conflicts are over, the coronavirus and all epidemics are controlled and tranquility returns to all countries and families *

If we understood the enormous power of prayer, we would be amazed !!! Hopefully you can forward this request to your contacts to achieve A MIRACLE with our PRAYER  * Commit yourself, with your children, family and friends to make this slight prayer strong, God hears everything, he sees everything. What a smile to see us united * *Thank you!!!* * "Where two or more gather in MY name, there I will be in their midst" Matthew 18: 20 * Remember at 22:00  Sorry but this message if I send it !!

26/3/20 Malaver Chente Jenny Gutierrez: Heavenly Father I hope this msg reaches all known and unknown All boys, I am José Malaver brother of Frank and Carlos Malaver I remember very much my stay in Mount St. Benedict and I remember the following friends Américo Montero; Natividad Cabello; Winston Cabello; Humberto Mezzana; Edgar Moffee; Tucupita; Miguel Ángel Luongo; Ladislao; Pedro was; Brother Vincent; Father Augustíne; Father Bobo; Fletcher The boy; they are inside my heart without ever being able to forget them like Salvador and his brother and others that do not come to mind.

I want protesters who are very sick with diabetes, hypertension, heart failure, and I have all 4 heart valves blocked and I am a kidney patient who is dialyzed 3 times a week, I have resisted until 64 years old thanks to GOD and the training I received at our school I hope you all join in prayer for my illness giving you a hug of brotherhood with the Faith placed in CHRIST JESUS knowing that this pandemic that attacks us will soon end. Always pending of you and in prayer for all humanity.
