Dear Friends,
Here is news on Alan Harris, Anthony Chankar, and
Adolfo Aumaitre.
-------------------------------------------
Today we celebrate 25 years of marriage.
Of ups and downs, of laughter and tears, of joys and sorrows, of fire and ice,
of health and sickness, of strength and weakness, of feelings of love and
feelings of disappointment but through it all LOVE has held us together. Thanks
be to God for blessing us and showing us that living life together is fun, full
of adventure and endless emotional roller coasters but in the end, LOVE can
conquer all. Here’s to living another 25 more years of LOVE!
--------------------
So I had a great trip out west in
Alberta with my sweetheart. I have too many pictures to post, so please go to
my facebook page. The photos was taken on the Columbia Ice fields, it looked
hazy, but on that day ironically enough, the sky was covered with smoke from
the fires in California (global warming), where I stood, the glacier was that
very spot in 2009.. global warming, it’s retreating about 2000 yards ever 10
years.. so I built an “Inukshuk” in this case to oversee the visitors and to
keep an eye on the glacier and just maybe to slow global warming.

Hi Ladislao,
If you are OK with it, please include this request in a future Circular.
Dear Abbey School Brothers in Christ
You can email me to request the current version of our alumni database;
1944 to 1986.
It also includes the monks, seminarians and lay teachers that were there
at the respective times.
Please look over your personal information and update it as
necessary…send it to me at amickiew@att.net.
In advance, thank you very much for your valued input and response.
Please be extra careful and stay healthy, safe and sound,
George Mickiewicz (AS-MSB 1956-1962)

Taken from the chats by Adolfo Aumaitre, leader of the donations here in
Venezuela.
2/18/20 11:34 - Aumaitre Adolfo: This email was sent by our old boys in the USA who help send the
humanitarian aid that reaches you monthly.
Read it with entertainment and send me your
answers to what they ask and your suggestions for me, send them your answers,
it does not matter if they are in Spanish
2/18/20 11:34 - Aumaitre Adolfo:
Thank you very much, Adolfo.
I cannot even start to imagine your and
the other alums personal and family suffering as I read your note.
My heart and soul break every day as I
follow the news in Venezuela.
The situation worsens by the day with no
end in sight as the Cubans, Russians, Chinese, Iranians, etc. continue to prop
up the Maduro government.
I suspected that those outside Caracas
might not be able to get the money via Western Union which you confirmed in
your note.
Following up on your note, please let me
know:
What manner of transfer in May (per your
second note) do you recommend for the $$ to those areas where you and the
non-Caracas boys live?
Due to the increase in the cost of food,
goods, protein, etc. – what is the approximate amount that the alums need in
USA $ per month to get the necessary items if available?
Are there any NGOs or other Christian
operations serving your area that we can use to send powder proteins, medicines
and other needed but non-available items?
Any other ideas that you all may have to
get you the needed assistance will be greatly appreciated.
I feel very helpless in trying to help
and solve the terrible situation that you are all in.
I pray for you all and Venezuela every
day asking Jesus to bring peace and end the suffering.
I am very, very proud and grateful of
what you have personally done over the years in your boat trips to Trinidad in
leading the assistance effort with courage, perseverance and love.
Un fuerte abrazo,
Jorge
2/18/20 12:22 PM - Aumaitre Adolfo: Let it be an impartial solution that benefits us all equally remember that
many of us live in areas where there is no Italchange, western Union or
international zoom
1/7/20 18:41 - Aumaitre Adolfo: Good afternoon brother Ladislao, I need to send me the data to make the
transfer, please, Bank, account number and identification number, thank you
1/7/20 19:49 - Aumaitre Adolfo: Ladislao, I have been calling you but the call does not drop
1/7/20 20:00 - Aumaitre Adolfo: Thank you brother Ladislao, the calls do not go out, I do not know what is
happening every day we are more isolated if it were not for WhatsApp
1/7/20 20:11 - Ladislao Kertesz: The internet is bad since Sunday
1/7/20 20:18 - Aumaitre Adolfo: Everything is wrong, I don't know how far this government is going to take
us, it is ending everything
3/7/20 15:14 - Aumaitre Adolfo: Hello brother Ladislao, please confirm if you received the transfer
3/7/20 15:34 - Ladislao Kertesz: I have a recorded transfer of ten million, which would be like 50usd today
3/7/20 15:35 - Aumaitre Adolfo: It is the transfer that the company sent you, thank you for confirming the
receipt, greetings
3/7/20 15:36 - Ladislao Kertesz: Greetings Adolfo, good job
3/7/20 15:36 - Aumaitre Adolfo: Thank you brother
7/6/20 09:10 - Ladislao Kertesz: Hello Adolfo, I am about to release a new circular.
Can you write about a Gascón?
Who lives in Brazil?
Since it does not appear in the list
Greetings
7/6/20 09:37 - Aumaitre Adolfo: Mario Gascón, entered Mount 1966-1971, he is from Puerto Ordaz, his family
lived in an area called Villa Colombia, he was working at the Barcelona airport
and he retired 4 years ago, last year he went to Brazil, I have not heard from
him since then.
7/6/20 09:46 -
Ladislao Kertesz: Ok I found him, what
was the year and class when he left mount? Form III ???
What class did you
study in?
With you?
6/7/20 09:51 -
Aumaitre Adolfo: From Form I, he was
a boy scout, he left in Form IV
7/6/20 09:54 - Aumaitre
Adolfo: because at that time
they gave the opportunity to do equivalent studies here in Venezuela through
the Andrés Bello agreement to the Venezuelans who were at Mount and many came
and were studying Form III and Form IV
7/6/20 10:00 -
Ladislao Kertesz: Ok good story for
the circular.
7/6/20 10:00 -
Ladislao Kertesz: And were you in that
group?
Did you came back
before the GCE?
6/7/20 10:06 –
Aumaitre Adolfo: Yes, I was, but my
dad refused to let me come back unfinished.
At that time from 68-69
we had a professor sent by the Venezuelan Embassy to teach us about the
subjects that were not seen in Mount and that were needed for our studies to be
recognized through the Andrés Bello agreement: Moral y Cívica, Historia de
Venezuela, Geography of Venezuela, Economic Geography among others.
7/6/20 10:09 -
Aumaitre Adolfo: you were never told
you this?,
the Cantores
brothers, Santiago Robleda, Roberto Mezzana, Miguel Luongo, the Malave
brothers, among others, received classes
7/6/20 10:48 -
Aumaitre Adolfo: I am sending you a
copy of the study certificate in Spanish that was given to us there in Mount to
be delivered to the Ministry of Education in Venezuela to benefit from the
Andrés Bello validation and revalidation agreement.
What is underlined in
yellow are the subjects given to us by the teacher sent by the Venezuelan
Embassy in TT
7/6/20 10:49 -
Aumaitre Adolfo: It is not
appreciated much due to the age they have
7/6/20 10:55 -
Aumaitre Adolfo: And when you came
back you arrived here in Venezuela, the Ministry gave you equivalency in the
subjects underlined in yellow and you had to present a revalidation in the
others here in Caracas.
I did a high school
revalidation a few years later because from TT I went to the USA and then to
Spain to study medicine,
When I returned I had
to revalidate high school and then my medical degree so I did a high school
revalidation in 76 to return to Venezuela had to do only the revalidation of my
medical career
7/6/20 10:57 - Aumaitre Adolfo: You can publish that in the circular if it is to your liking
7/6/20 11:21 - Ladislao Kertesz: Same in my case but I only did GCE and from there to the USA for
university and then to work.
There was an operation at the UCV and 60
engineers did the revalidation in three weeks 1969
6/7/20 12:12 - Aumaitre Adolfo: Well, I did the medicine test in 6 months
10/1/20 13:35 - Aumaitre Adolfo: Good afternoon dear brothers, the writing that you will read next to this,
is sent by George and his team, they need that each of you as soon as possible
I sent you the answer in the format that he asks for.
The money runs out in December and if you
want them to raise more money and extend shipping for longer, please send your
responses as soon as possible.
I have noticed that very few connect to the
group and not even communicate to George or me the receipt of the monthly
transfer, it is appreciated that please send your answers or this help will be
definitively finished for you not to take a few minutes to demonstrate your
interest, is it that they no longer need the help?
10/1/20 13:35 - Aumaitre Adolfo:
Dear Brothers in Christ,
I need your voluntary help, but in part it
is mandatory to continue enjoying the monthly benefit.
I am not sure when our Trinidad brothers
and sisters will be available to start their fundraising campaign for you due
to the challenges you are facing with the Covid 19 pandemic.
Our current Team George funds will run out
in December. In order to continue helping you in 2021, I need to try to expand
Team George's membership from the current 14 members to at least double or
triple that number. I've been praying and thinking about the best way to do it.
In the US, we have 2 festive and special
seasons coming up soon where people open their hearts and share their treasures
with each other ... Thanksgiving in November ... and .... Christmas.
The following came to mind ...... Share an
application in October with about 100 of my family and friends to whom you will
communicate what the $ 50 / month means for you and your families today ... .
specifically what you are able to have / get / use / etc. today that otherwise
would not be able to have (food, medicine, health, gasoline, basic needs,
etc.).
It is strictly voluntary and feel free not
to participate ..... I am not trying to pressure you in any way or form but if
it is not done this far the monthly aid will come.
If they are willing to help. Please send me
the information in this format:
Name.....
City where you live.....
What the $ 50 / month means to you and your
families today .....
Specifically what you are able to have /
get / use / etc. today that otherwise you would not be able to currently obtain
in Venezuela (food, medicine, health, gasoline, basic needs, etc.). In detail
the specific benefits that you obtain with the monthly contribution for you and
your family ...
Finally, I hope you understand what I am
trying to do in good faith so that I can continue to help you.
Thank you… and God bless you and yours.
A hug,
Your brother in Christ
Jorge.
