Thank
you Ian
Can
you send me a short curriculum so that we would know the progress
from you after leaving Mount??
Remember
that the yearly dues are = 50 words to help fill the Circulars pages
for a few more chapters. Jajaj
I
have no photo from you either.
I
have a question for you, "Who designs, certifies, provides
lights for the Heliports??"
My
question is because I do this work for PDVSA here in Venezuela
God
bless

Gentlemen,
Ladislao
has now presented us with a photograph of Abbey School students,
probably from 1973, but we have no idea who these boys might be.
So
far as I've been able to determine, (and I may be wrong - if so,
please correct me), you were students at MSB during the 1972-1974
period, and you just might know a few of these boys.
If
so, would you kindly identify them for us and send me a return email
response with the names you suggest.
Thank
you.

Hello
Peter,
You
were a couple of years ahead of me at Mount.
You
only need to access Nigel's thorough and detailed list of Mount Boys
to see immediately exactly who was in your class, who was in the
class above and who was in the class below.
I
understand from Nigel's recent message that your name had been
omitted, but that he has it now for inclusion in a future
distribution.
You
should still examine the list to see if you notice anything else that
Nigel needs to know.
Good
to have heard from you, and particularly with the news of Ladislao.
I
am sure I was not the only one worrying about his welfare as a result
of not hearing from him with the regular Circular, even if it were to
contain only a photo or two or one or two emails!!!!
Sincerely,
Don

RE: LADISLAO
IS OK
Fellow
Mount boys,
Just
for the record, both Ladislao and myself are still alive and kicking
in this rapidly deteriorating country.
We
meet occasionally with some of the other “old boys”, eat,
reminisce and generally shoot the bull for a few hours.
Ladislao
usually takes a few pictures, just to keep track of how fast we are
aging.
As
for the circulars, I believe he has run out of input for now.
After
producing more than 400 circulars he deserves a rest.
As
for myself, I finished Mount in 1962, with the 2 Georges, Mickiewicz
and Iwaskiewicz, Gerhard Most and I believe also David Bratt.
After
40 years, I can’t remember who else was in my class.
Mostly
Trini boys, not many Venezuelans.
To
all those Mount boys still out there and listening,
God
Bless.
Peter

IS LADISLAO
OK?
George,
It's
strange how I get clues as to one or other MSB Old Boy.
Here
it is now, in this email of yours, I suddenly am confronted with the
fact that, apparently, there was once a student at the Abbey School
named Peter de Morvay, for whom you have obligingly provided an email
address.
I
know I've heard Peter's name before this, but somehow, it has slipped
my consciousness (old age, I guess) and I've never, until now, added
him to the current dataBase.
But
now, I have done so.
Peter,
if you get this note, please confirm for me.
And,
if you don't mind, please let me know the last year for which you
attended MSB.
Now,
as to Ladislao, I have received a few emails from him (Circulars)
recently, the last one dated June 25, 2011. (I've sent it to you.)
Best
wishes to you and the family.
Nigel

Hi
guys;
Have
not seen any newsletters since early May.
Was
wondering if Ladislao is OK?
Did
not want to bother him directly in case he has been very busy with
other stuff.
God
bless,
George.

My
Dear Abbey, (Tales of the Knights of White Stones),
Attention,
to all "Abbey Knights of White Stones", this is the Spring
of 2011, she brings us great change, the tides are high and we are
moving on, this our journey for Knowledge and Wisdom,
The
Time has come "The Transfer".
WELCOME
TO THE CLUB / ONE AND ALL / AMIGOS AND BROTHERS / FOREVER ONE / THE
MOUNT /
They
who once walked upon that sacred, secret place, they called "White
Stones", she still shines like diamonds under the Harvest Moon,
to the Eagles in the Sky.
As
recorded in the book, "The King of Hearts", which is still
kept in a chest at the Dutch enclave, upon that mountain.
These
Legends, Tales and Stories, comes from the Monks, Knights and the
villages that surrounds Mt. Tabor.
Tunapuna,
Trinidad W.I.
If
you climb those hills you will find a Castle in the Sky, on a
mountain dedicated to Saint Benedict on this caribbean island, hidden
under the sun.
As
it was written in this great book, a long long time ago, many great
and wise men of that time (1942-1984), from all the surrounding
islands and Spanish main lands, sent their eldest sons to this Castle
in the Sky, for an education that was never seen in this area of the
world, and would never be seen again.
It
was written, that these Dutch Jesuit Monks, taught some lessons that
were banned hundreds of years before, when the Vatican disbanded the
Knights Templar's, and even tried to kill them all.
Those
who escaped and survived, formed their own country, that is now known
as Switzerland.
The
special attention and education, that these boarders of this Abbey
School received, from these Jesuit Monks in this castle the sky on
this island hidden under the sun, flourished for some forty something
years, then one day without notice to anyone, she closed her doors to
the world around her.
Of
the two thousand and twelve souls, that lived, played, studied, in
these walls of joys and sadness, very little is known of where they
all went to, and what became of them, from the gardeners, cooks,
teachers and the many wonderful people who helped manage this fine
institution, until now, in these revelations.
Therefore,
take heed, from the four corners of the earth, we call upon all
members of the "Saints' houses" of the Abbey School, Mt.
St. Benedict 1942 to 1984.
See
that, in the closing half of chapter eleven it is stated there will
be four signs, according to the book "The King of Hearts".
#1)
The very last "Master List of the Knights of White Stones"
is made.
#2)
A Chair is found broken in the halls of delusion and confusion.
#3)
The Last Three Sacred Ones, our teachers, the monks, stands alone in
the Castle.
#4)
The Transfer of the Rites of the Knights, begins @ 11AM/ on the
11/11/11.
At
10AM, on the 10/10/10, a meeting of the Southern Knights was held on
the island of Margarita.
A
passage from the book the "King of Hearts", was read.
From
these readings, an important decision was made.
Long
live the future of the Realm as the resulting transition begins.
The
Secret, until now, that only the Knights and the Sacred Ones shared
is:
A
Chest from the time of the pirates and a Cylinder containing
unanswered questions from Rome, about a Jesuit Monk from Brazil.
There
is a known story about a "Rod of Power", the maker of Rain
and Storms, and even more powerful things.
Jesus'
cousin, John the Baptist, was considered by many to be the new Elijah
and John also created Stone Circles, the second rainmaker, "Honi
the Circle Drawer', fathered a son called 'Hanan the Hidden', was
also a sacred rainmaker who some suspects is really James, the
brother of Jesus and was close to John the Baptist.
This
is what this Jesuit Monk said to two other Monks, at a monastery in
Budapest Oct.1942, and then he died, without telling them, where this
Rod was kept.
Dr.
Voosh, our late father of Science, in many great debates. we also
believed this practice of stone circle making was thriving at the
time of Jesus but its associated 'magic' practices were known only to
a select few - all of whom appear to be connected, additional
evidence that a magical belief had been passed down from the time
that the original Star Prophecy was made, all the way to Jesus and
his family.
In
the early 1960's, the Vatican sent someone to investigate, whatever
belongings the Jesuit Monk from Brazil may have left here in
Trinidad.
All
they found was his books, some art work, and gold religious artefacts
in some ancient wooden boxes, from a long time ago.
They
ended the search after a week or two.
The
dutch monk who taught french, we over heard, saying to the monk of
maths, and the monk (father of the scouts), what they were looking
for, they believe is still in Brazil, they all looked at each other
with a smile.
The
Changing of the Guards, the Transfer will be made.
On
11/11/11 at 11 am, a vessel will leave Port-of-Spain,
on
it she will carry a chest and many souvenirs, from the Castle in the
sky.
Destination
a new found land, this place was chosen a long time ago, if we had to
abandon the Castle, which almost happened once or twice.
This
is only being done, for the safety and protection of the Realm.
Long
live the Realm, Long live the Mount, Long live the "Knights of
White Stones", Forever-One, The Club.
From
the Tales of White-Stones, from the book, the King of Hearts,
Best
regards -
Glen
McKoy..

Thanks,
Kazim.
I'll
take it from here, for a while.
Jeremy,
I'm glad you finally "found" us. Welcome to the Old Boys'
Club of MSB.
We've
been involved for a few years already, and Ladislao Kertesz (Ven) is
heading the effort.
There
are two tabs (at the bottom of the Excel files.
One
is sorted according to the surnames of the OB's.
The
other is sorted acc. to the last known year of attendance at the
Abbey School.
There
may be errors, but it is u to each of us to point them out (to me,
hopefully) and I'll make the necessary corrections. (Laz - this is an
update on the previous one from February 2011 - you might want to
send this out to the OB's, as I've not done so.)
It
would also help if you could send a paragraph or two to Ladislao to
let us know what you've done in your life, and to bring us up to date
on the mystery that is Jeremy De Barry.
God
bless you.
Nigel
Boos
P.S.
Fr. Benedict died 2 years ago.

Hello
Kazim (& Don),
[Wow,
I'm so out of it at this time!] Kazim,
Was
having a browse around and discovered that your the webmaster for
(The Abbey School) Mount St. Benedict Alumni Association of Trinidad
& Tobago - site.
I
don't know (or can't remember) you as an old Abbey School boy,
However,
thanks ever so for doing a lovely job and keeping us
informed
as you do.
Can
somebody email me some larger size version of the 'Class' and 'Scout'
pictures that you have on this site (with the name notes attached
somewhere); as I'd like another stab at putting some names to some
faces
One
(or two) of the 'scout' pictures look like the 'Coura Camp' of XXXXX
(at this time) that I attended.
And
A Lindsy Moffat + Charles(? - Or something) Moffat from St Lucia
appeared unnamed;
things
like that I'd like to check. (If not already done by others.)
(Dear
Jeremy, please use the file number printed on each photo for any
corrections, as we have close to one thousand photos, editor)
Now
this next comment is probably 'Old Hat';
You
do recall that 'Vush' or Father Benedict had his photo lab under the
old dormatory (next to the 'Seniors' room); out back.
Has
anyone managed to get all his negatives?
That's
an historic MSB gold mine!
PS
is 'Vush' still alive?
---------------------
Nice.
What
qualifies as Alumni?
See
there is a list = Mount Old Boys (1945 - 1955); on the site.
Well
it also did 1956 to sometime in the early 1970's; when it all crashed
out.
Can
we do this list of the next lot for this site?
Look
forward to a comment or two.
Very
best regards
Jerry
