Caracas, 11 of April 2020 No. 962
-------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Friends,
Part 1 is in Circular No. 961 extra.
---------------------------------------------
I try to pull you in over the years, but no bite
however I did get hold of about 10 really older brothers that guided me in the
right path and correct information of the time.
Sir Arthur Knaggs was the 1st to create a connection
with boys of his time by mail as time went on.
Sir Ladislao
Kertesz is where all of this is coming from he is the rebirth
of our organization and Sir Nigel
Boos became the list maker.
I jumped in a few years after, I ask Fr. Cutty why you
don't write no more, he said his hands did not work no more ha ha , so I said I
will write for you so I wrote the Tales of Knights of White Stones Mt Tabor,
check in the Circulars ha ha
I got some fans from that and became good friends with
Sir Trevor Evelyn, Sir David DeCastro (Calypso Bandit) and Sir Jon
Golding and our UN judge Sir Lucky, and many other gentlemen,
then I got more involved because I was getting the real stories and you know
99% of it is true.. ha ha
Anyhow before I forget, long long time ago I forgot my
brothers I did not care if I connected or not but my friend my brother, I don't
know what the hell happened, but I got this pull to get back to where I came
from,
I call it the Light / and brothers I encountered was
also coming from that Light, hence A Knight.
We all prayed, maybe someone else was praying for us
We were on Holy Grounds.
----------------------------------------------------------------.
You are doing a great job Glen.
Keep up the good work.
I enjoyed your comments.
----------------------------------------------------------------------.
I try I use have to post stuff and some have lost
members also ha ha
Sir Huggins, Sir Ames, Sir Aboud, a few that is when I
use send out photos to attract new members like bees to honey ha ha
cheers thank you for the support
(The Circular is also missing your articles, Glen)
-----------------------------------------------------.
Thanks for replying anyhow Neil.
And I fully understand how you feel about the subject
of religion and God.
I think your feelings are shared by many.
Personally, I feel that religion in general has not
promoted faith but hindered it.
Religion is full of manmade ritual and doctrine that
makes no sense at all, so much so that it has repulsed people rather than draw
them to God.
It has certainly been unable to stop wars, crime
corruption, poverty etc.
Some say it has been complicit in these things.
But this is a deep subject that many have strong
feelings about, so I am uncomfortable discussing the subject publicly.
I have very strong conviction myself (not blind faith)
that there is a God and that he is fully Involved, not just in our personal
lives but in World affairs.
On the web site that I posted you can ask any question
you like and consider the answer in your own privacy.
Or message me.
I am happy to discuss any thought that anyone may
have.
Keep well.
-----------------------------------------------------------.
Where are located now?
If I remember correctly, your family was in the
transport business!
---------------------------------------------------.
That was my uncle.
My Father was in the oil fields and so was I for a
while, but lost my way and ended up in Australia which is where I am now.
I am in the Gold Coast area, on the border of New
South wales and Queensland.
Really happy about that, it is…
------------------------------------------------------------------.

bells
-------------------------------------------.
How do you dance to that?
----------------------------------------------.
ask someone's wife
These bells brought back a boatload of memories; last
heard by me in 1965.
------------------------------------------.
Did they play the same tune back then"?
-----------------------------------------------.
Sound like a Roaring Lion caiso.
--------------------------------------------.
As I recall, yes.
However, bells are bells, ring them enough and they
will remind you of bells, yes.
------------------------------------------------------.
The monks of Mount St. Benedict are reaching out in
love with all their bells to all our essential workers so that you and I can
stay at home and be safe...
-----------------------------------------------------.
How come we never tried to sneak in and ring the bell
in the big church?
That would have been a challenge.
--------------------------------------------.
During my time 59/65 the big church was held in high
regard.
You could say, it got off.
-------------------------------------------------------.
We were free to roam all over,
I like hanging out with Bro George who was in charge
of the little shop.
-----------------------------------------------------.
We were only allowed to go to the sports field and
back; no deviations.
We could stop in at the small shop but that was it,
oh, and steal bread whenever you could. Cashew trees were off limits.
Outside the side gate by the basketball court was the
same; mangoes same thing - banned from movies.
It seems you guys had a cakewalk, however we had more
rules to break, which evidently was fun.
----------------------------------------------.
You guys were in prison, not school..LOL.
We were free to roam all over, our boundary was St
Bedes, but above that was all ours including the cashew and mango trees
---------------------------------------------.
I was just reading my emails, which I don't do much to
find out thru Sir Salvador Coscarart who got an email from Sir Stuart Henderson that
Sir Arthur Knaggs had quietly passed away March 20/2020.
I only met him a few times but oh what a great guy and
so many great mount stories.
May our brother rest in peace,
As the Eagles fly over the Abbey school, our brother
bids us farewell.
We would like to send out best wishes to Sir Nigel
Boos who have had some medical issues and still dealing with same, we would
like to send our love, prayers and support to his wonderful wife Lady Jackie.
May God Bless us all.
Long Live The Mount.
--------------------------------------------------------.
I would like to wish our dear brother & friend Sir
Kazim Abasali the one & only
creator of our facebook connection also keeper of the list a wonderful and
Happy Birthday and many more thank you for just being here Hombre / One Luv
Y muchas mas from one and all, we will party again
