EDITORIAL
I am happy that I have
established a record in the long history of “Mount Inside” –
first published in 1964. My target of six issues for the school year
now ended has been met but not without moments of anguish.
My thanks to a patient and
accommodating printer on whose shoulder rests the responsibility for
finally getting our journal published. Issue # 46 has been a rushed
effort and my Co-ordinator and typist stood up beautifully to the
pressures involved.
A special THANK YOU to Fr.
Cuthbert who kept all of us on our toes. To you my faithful readers;
Your interest in the magazine made my year extremely worthwhile.
Happy holidays
Hayden J.M. Valentine

Note: To the editor.
As an “Old Boy” and in
lieu of the Mount Outside; coupled with the kind thoughtfulness of
Fr. Cuthbert; I have been receiving the Mount Inside, which, apart
from the regularity of production, has given me once more an inside
to my old school. My sincere congratulations, and may we see the same
enthusiasm for the next term.
All the best from the
frozen North.

Dear
Friends,
I
am going to make a short resume of my trip to TT.
Sunday
20th of May 2012, the fishing trip.
For
the fishing trip we left early with Dennis Gurley and picked up Don
Mitchell at his Guest house.
Next
we arrived at the yacht club marina.
After
looking at a few would be boats, all bigger than the actual one that
we took.
After
we down sized the boats we finally saw ours, jajaja
Took
some time before all the few mariners got together for the trip.
We
left the dock under a swelling sea.
Took
the route just as on last year’s trip.
The
goal was to got to ile de leau as the furthest, catch one fish per
person on board.
Well
this did not happen and I noticed that we did not meet any boats,
either fishing or cruising.

Dear
Winston,
My
corrected version of your flyer is enclosed.
A
picture of a boat, a beach, a dining room and a BBQ lime scene could
add something to it.
The
brochures which you have created look wonderful.
As
I remember, it was Don Mitchell who first indicated that he was
coming to Trinidad to attend a wedding and would like to meet with
the Old Boys and then Ladislao responded by saying that he (Ladislao)
wanted to take the opportunity to meet with him because he hadn't
done so in several decades’ years.
It
would be much more credible to describe the activities as taking
place at this time because of their joint visits.
You
need either to remove Ladislao's picture or get one of Don also.
In
addition, a company cannot hold an AGM at will.
Doing
so could cause problems and legal challenges in the future.
Notice
in the proper form is required.
It
seems that some of the current directors are unlikely to be available
for the meeting on the date which Dennis suggested, after taking time
away off to participate otherwise, which poses a problem as AGMS are
normally held to suit the convenience of the majority of sitting
directors.
One
cannot assume of how many of the current directors will be willing to
offer themselves for re-election if they are uncomfortable with the
character and/or personalities of others whom offer themselves for
election.
This
must be handled with sensitivity and prudence and consequently remain
as it was originally billed, simply as a meeting and we will see how
it develops.
It
is important that you act quickly and get this back to Ladislao right
away.
Sincerely,
Joe

Greetings
Laszlo
I
also prepared a P Point with the aim of getting a small group to
think it over and then go to the Board with a structured plan of
action.
It
will be a virtual project and when you are settled kindly review and
comment on PP.
It’s
always a pleasure hosting you,
Regards
Winston

Dear
Winston
I
read the brochure; it would be good to look into.
But
as the association is set up and since we want to get a go ahead it
is necessary to have two guys volunteer in the presentation.
Can
you get anyone to accompany you???
This
is to make it easier to have it approved.
What
are the plans of implementing your “no smoke” agenda???
Maybe
we should talk on how to do this implementation procedure before I
present it formally.
Thank
you for the excellent help you gave me,
God
bless and my best wishes for the family
Ladislao

Came
across this video
In
case you have not seen it.
It
was apparently made last year.
First,
it shows the guesthouse that many of us passed by at least 1000 times
during our walk down to or up from the playing field.
I
suspect that many of us never went inside.
I
had the opportunity to enjoy it a few times when my family staid
there.
Secondly,
it shows the church and the chapels where many of us served mass for
the monks.
I
was a regular altar server to the point that I was given a book in
recognition of my services.
By
the way, how many of us helped ourselves to the wine left over after
the mass?
May
God bless us all and our families.
PS
– Please share with your contacts who still are interested in our
MSB heritage, brotherhood and knighthood.

Jesus’
first words to the apostles after the Resurrection were “PEACE BE
WITH YOU”. And today we answer in the “new” mass as we did in
the Latin mass 50 years plus ago “ET CUM SPIRITU TUO”/ “AND
WITH YOUR SPIRIT”. Please let us remember that all the good work
being done by MSB alumni comes under the inspiration and guidance of
the Holy Spirit.
Please,
let us be kind, peaceful with and love one another as we proceed in
our joint journey to meet one another whenever possible on earth and
rejoice in each other’s company in heaven. May the Father bless
those who have prepared the activities, those who will be attending
and those who would have loved to attend but cannot make it.
Let
us all heed St Paul’s words to the Galatians:
13.
For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not turn your
freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one
another.
14
For the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in the statement, "YOU
SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF."
15
But if you bite and devour one another, take care that you are not
consumed by one another.”

My
Dear Brothers,
We
look forward to a greater understanding of who we are, and where we
are going as ASAA, where the greater body of this organization, its
alumni comes from around the world, these meetings seriously means a
lot to some of us, on the outside.
We
feel that time is essential, as our membership grows older each year.
We
have no time for fault finding or blaming, we need to get certain
things done.
I
believe the Knights have accomplished every mission so far, they took
on as a private group, better known as the Club, our successes are
already recorded and are happening as we speak.
We
hope to rebuild certain lost projects asap, in these meetings we will
know thru our Leader, Mr. Ladislao, of what is workable and what is
not.
Who
is interested and who is not, I think that's pretty simple, our
missions are exceedingly difficult, We must be One, for the greater
ASAA, all over the World.
Now
we have to wait, to hear what our missions will be.
Thank
you Gentlemen, Long Live The Mount, Long Live the Realm, Long Live
the Club,
Glen
McKoy./ (Independent reporter for "The Writers of Knights.)

Nigel,
We
will have a ASAA meeting during the visits.
Anyone
can offer themselves to serve in our steads and remove the
incompetents from our highly paid sinecures.
Some
are armchair critics who only know the language of blame and fault
finding; such like these only make commesse and cuchoor
They
don't build anything.
They
sure know how to wilt effort and initiative, without doing much
themselves.
Sincerely,
Joe

Joe,
As
you can see, some (i.e. at least one) of the OB's are rightly
concerned about the lack of communication in this important exercise.
The
ASAA (or whatever the current name happens to be) seems to forget
that not all its adherents live in Trinidad and cannot make immediate
changes to scheduled plans without seriously inconveniencing
themselves.
Case
in point right here.
I
agree / admit that this visit from Ladislao is very important, and
for this reason alone
I
would suggest that some earlier warning as to proposed plans might
have been given to everyone, so that adequate preparations could have
been made to attend at one / all of the planned events.

Glen,
How
the fuck can these guys in T'dad organize all this and then give us
last minute notice?
I
am just back from an 8 day Western Caribbean cruise and sure would
have put it off to attend if I knew in advance.
I
am going to check airfare to T'dad and will attend if it's
reasonable.
