Dear
Friends,
Continuing
with my short daily resume, this time to Las Cuevas and La Fillette
at Chupara Bay.
La
Fillette resort, see the brochure below as to the site, beautiful
place.
Sorry
for those that missed out.
http://trinidadandtobagoholidayresorts.com/Holiday_Resorts/Home.html
On
Saturday 19 of May 2012, the programming was as follow:
Winston
Ramsahai picked me up in the morning and we went to Don´s place on
our way to Maracas, Las Cuevas and to La Fillette Resort.
Following
a nice ride over the North Costal Road, we arrived at the gates of
the beautiful set of houses overlooking the Chupara Bay.
By
the time we arrived that was a reception committee and food to pick
we must take our hosts for the welcome.
In
the Aprils brochure of events, this place was not well advertised,
but I must tell you that it was worthwhile the long drive.
Some
hardy folks went for a swim but Don and I took a leave as there was a
promise for Sunday´s fishing and a dip in the sea.

Dear
Fellow Alumni,
Please
find the financial statement attached.
If
any would be so kind to contribute to making up the deficit incurred
it would be helpful.
In
the interest of transparency I have named all who have contributed
cash to the activities.
If
I have offended any who would prefer to remain anonymous please
forgive me but you know that some are always concerned that money is
properly accounted for, to the extreme.
As
previously, some have promised but now seem reluctant to commit.
If
I have forgotten to include any contribution that some may have made,
please be so kind to call or e-mail and remind me.
I
will be viewing the raw footage filmed on Monday on my return from
vacation in July, after which I will publish the movie.
If
anyone wants to join me in editing the documentary you are welcome.
I
will need the pictures that Ladislao and Don took to create the best
finished product.
I
would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere
appreciation and that of those who were my close collaborators (Jimmy
Samaroo, Roger Juman, Chris Knowles, Gabriel Faria and Dennis Gurley)
for the many words of encouragement and support which you have
recently expressed.
sincerely,
Joe,

Good
email, Hudson, and I too have congratulated Joe and his team for
their fine work.
In
fact, this schedule and agenda is the first time I have ever seen
such a detailed and well thought out program of events, so well put
together.
I
hope that as many OB's as possible would try to get together, and I
have today recommended to Richard Galt in Florida that he should try
to make it.
Richard
had said that he was hoping to get to one of the reunions, and I
strongly suggested that this one was by far the most significant, and
that he should try to attend.

Fellow
Brothers,
In
the spirit of brotherhood, we must try to understand the
circumstances under which some of us get together.
As
an outside of T&T mount boy I think we have to be more
accommodating to the plans of our home brothers.
If
the plans are with little or short notice then we have to live with
their decision without the hostility and condemnation.
I'm
sure they are doing their very best and we have to be more supportive
in all our interactions.
I
have lived out of Trinidad for many years and I know how challenging
it is to put together any event in a timely and punctual manner in
Trinidad.
I
think we should ease up on our brothers and have a little more
respect for their efforts.
Finally,
I would like to commend the Trinidad Team for setting up a lively and
professional itinerary of events.
I
fully support Joseph and his team for this concerted effort and wish
them all the best.
God
Bless...

My
dear brother & friend Bandit,
Thank
You Amigo, as always for openly sharing you life with us, ha! ha!,
Your
example of living the life, whatever you like to do, do it and have a
good time doing it, forever.
David,
the respect and love I have for you, the younger Knights may question
why I praise you up so much, they must first understand, that Bandit
went to the Mount in 1944, before the war ended and some of the monks
were now coming from Europe
yeah
those were the days, and bandit remembers everything like yesterday,
and I just can't get enough from this friendship ha! ha!
I
tell Bandit when I went to the mount half of the boarders were
Venezuelans, Bandit say when he went to the mount it had only one
Venezuelan, and his name was Oscar ??
Not
our Oscar Cantore, that's another story ha! ha!, maybe a Venezuelan
Knight may know of this 1st Venezuelan on the mount.
Anyhow
the Club presents, The Bandit Strikes Again.
Headed
by one of our own great-grandmasters himself, Bandit,
Smooth,
a relaxed speed, sweet little number mi amigo, you have made the club
calypso, best of the best my friend.
From
the Club of Spartans, where every Knight is so unique in their own
way, a world in another world,
Cheers
Glen.

My
Dear Trevor,
Thank
you for this, you just solved a part of our puzzle.
It's
so good to hear from you man, but ah guess we had to ask the right
question ha! ha! to get your attention,
I
will like to know what ever happened to this 1st Venezuelan brother,
now we have the full name.
I
hope all is well best regards to you and the family, have a great
summer mi amigo, Cheers Glen.

Joseph
Berment-McDowald visit to Toronto

Dear
Nigel,
I
very much appreciate David's initiative.
I
and David haven’t seen or spoken to one another for over twenty
years, although I remember him very kindly.
Rory,
David, Marlon and the Guio’s and I have always been especially
close.
We
are coming to TO in the 1st instance to attend a wedding and will
only be in town for a few days on our way to Hong Kong .
Regrettably,
I have business to attend to whilst in Toronto and the only free day
is Sunday 3rd of June.
I
hadn't planned that any fuss would be made about my visit, although I
always love to see as many Old Boys as possible.
If
we can have an intimate tête-à-tête over a meal it would be
wonderful.
I
don't expect anything and wouldn't want anyone to go out of their
way.
I
certainly wouldn't expect anyone to come from out of province to see
me or for anything to be planned around me.
We
will also be in town between June 21st and 26th, which would provide
better opportunities to get together, especially after work and on
the week end.
We
normally stay at the Extended Stay Deluxe Hotel, in Vaughan , which
has a certain convenience for small gatherings.
The
manager knows us and may be facilitative, especially if I don’t try
to negotiate down our room rate.
Sincerely,
Joseph
Berment-McDowald

Dave,
I'm
afraid this may be too much of an overkill.
We
had 2 visitors here on May 4th and had a "Roti Night" for
them at Rotilicious.
Then
we expect Kazim Abasali here in June and have begun "pre-planning'
for a little get together with him.
Now,
you say that Joe is arriving at the end of May.
I've
not heard from Joe about this and would like to hear from him.
If
he'd like to meet with the guys, I'd like to know specifics - day,
time, availability, etc. and I'll see what I can do to get some of
the fellas together.
Joe,
please respond. (Any chance that you might plan to be here at the
same time as Kazim?)

My
sincere thanks too, to everyone for getting together last night.
It
was great seeing you again, Cornel, Mike and friend Gene, and
fantastic to meet George, Andres and family, Trevor and of course,
the amazing Mr. McKoy and your lady, Marion.
A
sincere and special thanks to Cornel for handling the invitations and
the arrangements for the roti night.
A
special welcome too, to Andres on his immigration 2 days ago to
Canada.
Now
that you know where Ajax is, please keep in touch.
We
need to talk.
Thanks
for bring Lourdes, Alicia, Luis, Oriana and Victoria.
And
finally, what a nice surprise to find a completely unknown Trevor
Davis, who unpretentiously emerged from the deep recesses of
Rotilicious asking, "I'm supposed to meet some Old Boys of Mt.
St. Benedict here.
Do
you know who they are?" Great meeting you, Trevor. By the way,
Trevor, George has asked me to forward this link to you:
I'm
glad that we were able to end the evening by offering a short prayer
for the happy repose of the soul of our confrere of days past, Wayne
Henderson, who died last week of cancer.
God
rest his soul.
And
lastly, Glen, thanks for your generosity in covering the cost of the
rotis and drinks for the night.
This
was quite unexpected and kind of you. Hopefully, we'll get a chance
to reciprocate.
Until
next time.
Nigel
