My dear big brother Sir George,
Thank you for your acknowledgement of
such a sensitive situation.
I am here to draw and keep what members
we have, we all worked so hard to retained over a 150 members, after more than
20 years now, we cannot rebuild again, we too old.
I remain a knight, a gentleman and you
have my word, whatever I do is of the highest respect to any of my fellow
brothers.
I love you George, I will meet you
again.
May God Bless and keep you and your
family in his arms at all times.
Peace, yours faithfully, Glen.
NOTE from the Circular: There are over
500 contacts kept in the list.
There are many old boys in Canada
specially in the East,
The Circular has received and accepted
offers from specific old boys in that area, to make the necessary phone calls
to trace old boys in Canada, but the offer only stayed as a wishful offer with
no teeth to it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------.
Yes we want to keep the Circular,
circulating. Sir
Ladislao
Kertesz & Sir Don Mitchell. keeps it
floating, Sir Nigel Boos, the List maker, was very active and had many friends
in his age group, however overworked and under paid Sir Nigel, retired, many
circles are frozen, when a key member cannot continue due to mostly health.
However we find other from these age
group and try to reconnect those circles ha ha confused yet.
The older the bull the harder the horn,
Live Long & Prosper, Long Live The Mount.
Cheers The Club.

I was there from 57 to 64

Did you know when Castro saw the mount from the airport, he said take me
there.
Did you know an American officer was the only person to marry on the Mount.
Did you know when they tested the bomb in Bimini the cloud passed over
the mount, there were 4 boys sitting on the roof at the time and they all died
from cancer.
Did you know a mount boy was assassinated in Paris.
Did you know the notorious Carlos the terrorist, may have went to the mount
for a term or two, and two mount boys were questioned about a boy, by fbi?.
Well if you know? Now you know ha ha.

Sir Kazim Abasali & Staff. Back To The Circular.
Now I have to check my emails more ha
ha,
Got a couple of emails, one from guess
who?
The knight from the sky, Knight Editor,
the one & only, Sir Ladislao Kertesz.
He said. he did not get a contribution
to the Circular from me, since 2017.
I am guilty, I should write something
productive, however Sir Kaz, all the new members that joined, they must know
the Circulars, the older the better,
So many would write emails for so many
years.
However the photos & circulars, they
are a history book of Trinidad, from the eagle's eye, the best private boarding
school in the British West Indies, ran by Dutch Monks, the era, the setting, a
perfect movie, anyhow I am a dreamer ha ha.
We must get all new members to write a
few words or so to the circular, like name, time on the mount, where you living
now and whatever you feel to say.
Now members want access to the
circulars, Sir Kaz. please advise on best way to do this, or to submit their
contributions,
I am not a good example 2 yrs since my
last one ha ha.
We think we can work smarter; time is of
the utmost importance to an ancient tribe.
Think about what you would like to say,
if you did say something, what you expected after so many years, what would you
like to see on the mount, as a momentum from the Old Boys, a plaque a bench, a
statue, whatever to want write, send to the Circular, we as a collective group,
I don’t like being alone ha ha .
Thank you for your time, writing n
typing is good for the mind ha ha Cheers a Club in progress ha ha

I met Johnny in 2018, It breaks my heart
when I see what life has done to some of my brothers, I silently cry, to see a
brother shut off from the world, depression lost of a spouse, we are not normal
after boarding school.
Our Alumni never had a Reach Out
Program, brothers would do it themselves like Sir Keith Allen, Sir Ian Gomes, Winston Kerry, Sir Winston Ramsahai, Sir Jimmy
Samaroo, and many others they would know lots the boys in the north, the would
help out many, when they could, and we only saw south boys if they come north.
------------------------------------------------------------.
Johnny Garcia is the hero...He got one
of the highest medals in T&T for rescuing two people at sea.
Yes he did I believe it was in Maracas
beach.
it was either in Chagaramas or Maracas,
I can't remember..
Good night brothers
I never rescued a little girl from
Caura, but I rescued Joseph Maryuen from drowning in the river, it was back in
1971, he went into the deep part and was sinking,
It was instinct, I just rushed in, I
grabbed him and pulled him into shallow water.
He started to puke up the water that he
swallowed.
I think it was during Sir Attila Gyuris time that happen??
Ask Sir Tim Healy might remember
save the story for the Circular ha ha
I think Oscar Cantore was there as well.
Write the story about how the boy scout
from Mount Rescued a little girl in Caura river while we were bathing.
Well a witness to the story should yeah

Yes Glen,
you are right, some get old by thinking
too much and doing little.
Thanks to George, we have some alms for
those in need, he is a doer.
The question for each of us is what have
I have done or are doing?
I am satisfied for my two decades of
keeping the Circular going.
I got many promises of collaboration and
on the long run, and many of those that have promised failed to produce.
Don has done his part with the Blog.
But today after reading Goerge´s email,
I have noticed that writers who were supportive are no longer interested in
keeping the Circular healthy, you are not one of them.
As Gorge always writes, Do onto them as
you would like to be done.
God bless

Sir Laszlo,
I am here because of the circular, the
guys would write we shared so much, however we talking about a much more mature
age group at the time,
I am 64 yrs this year aug 9th, but I was
44 then and was a kid amongst you gentlemen ha ha, face book many younger than
me, we post all sorts of things or we lose interest easily, I am glad we get a
like and know they still alive ha ha, to me the circulars is a book.
Many on face book never read the
circulars, emails is how we contacted all before, we have to marry the circular
into face book, post old stuff from the beginning, let the young know the old
and the old know the young, I am dreamer, if 10% is possible that will be fine.
Now anything you can think about a list,
I will talk to the Abbot one day, then if I set things up, then he will talk to
you, we want a wall on the mount ha ha, it would be nice to store our memoirs
up there, intrinsic stuff, as we are not connected to the mount in
Trinidad anymore, like we were before, I am only thinking of mending that
relationship, none of us are bigger than the mount.
So much thanks for you reply, I did not
know your situation, I did not expect you to keep up with the circular when
everyone is trying to survive in Venezuela, so I was not informed, and then
George had to leave Face book, so we were careful since with political posts.
Well we will talk soon God Bless.

So, today is the day that my oncologist
got back to me - just 2 hours ago, in fact.
And, because of my desire to keep you in
the loop, I’m doing my best to get back to you with the latest news about my
health.
PRAISE GOD!
After six months of recuperation, and
many days of naturopathic treatments, it turns out that there is only 1 lymph
node on my left side which currently has grown about 1 cm in size since my last
scan.
It’s not big enough nor numerous enough
to be concerned at the moment, she says, and therefore she’s scheduled another
scan for mid-August, when she’ll have another look, see how I’m progressing and
THEN decide on either a focussed radiotherapy procedure or chemo at that point.
I’m thrilled about it and just wanted to
share my news with you.
Thanks for your concern everyone, and
your prayerful support.
Nigel
