Hello Freddy,
Does this mean you ARE now
in Toronto?
You neglected to mention
what part of Toronto,
I guess I could call your
daughter Alicia and find out the complete address.
Thanks for letting know.
Cornel. ...
P.S. : Did you receive the
news from Nigel Boos, that Wayne Henderson passed away last night?

Dear Nigel,
It is indeed great news.... I am so looking forward to this - the Roti I mean ...no just kidding!!
It is indeed great news.... I am so looking forward to this - the Roti I mean ...no just kidding!!
My goodness, there couldn’t
be a place more worthy or inviting than "Rotilicious".
Kind of 'Special' in a way,
since we've met there a number of times, and it feels right.
I have been in
communication with those guys back and forth, and then the message from
"Freddy" and "Shish" (why the name 'Shish'?)
I don't remember hearing it
before ??
I guess you are referring
to 'George'? How on earth did he acquire that nickname?
What period did he attend
The Abbey School?
Really good news to hear
that Wayne was released from the hospital; we must continue praying for him.
As Usual - - - thank you
again for you kind labours on our behalf.
I recall and truly hope
that Mr. Glen McKoy makes it,
I've been waiting to meet
this guy that I talk to on the phone from time to time, and so enjoy his
stories.
(You hear that, Sir Glen of
the "Quill" !!! ) [Ha Ha Ha but I think it's befitting]
All the best to you guys,
By the way, what's Salvador
Coscarart up to these days?
Cornel ...

Cornel,
We should be quite excited
about the news that Shish and Freddy are due to arrive into Toronto during the
first week of May, and it would be nice to try to get together during their
visit.
As I understand it, Shish
will be here between May 1-5, and Freddy will be arriving on May 3rd. In other
words, May 4th is THE ONLY DAY on which we can reasonably get together. Please
let me know what your plans are, to get together for a roti and Carib, and I'll
be more than happy to meet with you. I'm sure that there are roti shops all
over the GTA and you'll only have to select one.
I believe that Glen McKoy
had indicated his willingness to come to a get together, so it is possible that
he might attend as well. I'm therefore copying him on this email too.
Looking forward to the
evening.
Nigel

Hi Cornel......
Good to hear from you. You
can see me in the 1962 graduating class photograph; I do not have one of my own
from that era. We did indeed cross paths as I attended MSB from 1956 to 1962;
Freddy Freytes was there too.....Looking forward to the get together, George
(Yury, Shish)

Hi George,
So very Great to hear from
you.
I don't know if you are
aware, or if you have heard, but Andres (Freddy) Freytes will be coming up to
Toronto around the same time, I believe he was in my class.
It is always exciting
hearing from a Mount 'Old Boy' , even better if you get to meet them in person.
That you will be up here in
Toronto from May 1st; to May 5th.
Will be a terrific
opportunity to meet you.
If you have a sec. could
you let me know when you attended The Abbey School?
Have you had a chance to
contact Nigel Boos. He lives in Ajax, just 45mins. outside of Toronto.
That is where the little
restaurant called "Rotiliscious" is located, where we have enjoyed
the great company of those that some of our brothers that visited, and enjoyed
a nice Roti and Carib together.
If you have any pictures of
your time at The Abbey School,
It would provide a great
chance to reminisce.
Looking forward to the
opportunity to meet you,
Sincerely,
Cornel....

Hi Nigel et al;
Been asked to go to Toronto
next week on a consulting trip.
Will actually be in
Mississauga.
I will be arriving on May
1st and departing on May 5th.
Please keep me posted of
any get together for those days that I will be there.
I can feel the Holy Spirit
stirring things up for a mini-multinational “ole boys” Canadian reunion,
George

Dear Mr. Kertesz,
My cousin, Peter Tarr, was
an alumni, between 1945 and 1955.
I have lost all contact
with the Tarr family, and now live in the US.
Do you have any record of
what happened to Peter and his family.
I do not know if he still
lives in Trinidad.
I do remember he married a
Miss Trinidad, and brought her over to England to meet us.
It would be wonderful if
you have a contact for him, or any further suggestions or names of friends who
may know where he is.
Sincerely,
Sandra Tarr

Thanks for your wise
words, George
I believe that Kazim
has initiated a process himself, by giving us tools to help us to keep in touch
with one another.
Now, perhaps, an
alternative, perhaps better system has evolved.
But Kazim's
contribution has been a worthy one, born out of love, affection, devotion to a
cause, whatever one wills, and we should all be grateful to him for his effort.
I am not a computer
guru myself, but I would sure like to hear a debate between Kaz and Gabriel
Faria, who, I believe, has started the Facebook page on our behalf, as to the
relative merits of one system over the next.
Kaz - I hope you're
getting better and moving about some more, my friend. May God be with you.
Nigel

Hi Glen
Among the alumni
there might be resentment around the current approach:
“Why is he being
recognized and not me or so and so?”.
Not sure what has
the response been by the alumni to the ones issued to date.
He offered to create
one for me in the future but I refused as I am uncomfortable with that type of
stuff.
Just some personal
thoughts, my brother,
God bless

Dear George,
This is my brother's
wife; my ex is a much nicer gal, ha! ha!
Yes my brother
Hudson is more in contact with the guys in Trinidad, I think he is kind of
oppose to the Club, he questioned me on if everyone in the Alumni is in the
Club, I said no, he did not like my answer, however he means well, he and
Gabriel are in contact.
We are different in
many ways, ha! ha!.
Now Nigel is like me
I think and he is also keeping quiet.
Now Ladislao, I
don't know what took place at the meeting in Trinidad and he has also been very
quiet since, I am lost and a bit confused.
Happy and wonderful
life is so beautiful, sometime yuh just gotta laugh eh! man,
Cheers guys just
letting out some steam, I cannot keep this stuff to myself, just had to share,
Later glen.
