Dear Friends,
A photo album by Nigel Boos

Again our
Ambassador roaming, to Baton Rouge.
Date: Mon, 19 Mar 2012 08:19:00 -0500
The
knights of white stones met again at Donald Goddard's home in Baton Rouge
Louisiana.
Thanks
to Donald on finding Father Harold Imamshah.
We got
together to enjoy a superb callaloo prepared by Donald.
It was
delicious.
We
enjoyed talking about the good old times, Donald´s time, my time and Father
Harold's time since he was the last one to be at the abbey school before it was
close in 1985.
The
group consisted of Mr Michael and Mrs Jean Simon, Karen and Donald Goddard,
Father Harold Imamshah, Salvador Coscarart and Olga Ferrer.
Even
though it was a very short time it was very pleasant and comforting to reminisce
about the Mount.
Once
again, the knights of white stones prevail.
May God
bless all of us.
Long
live the Mount.

Nigel,
I live
in Etobicoke, and I teach at George Brown College at the downtown campus in
Toronto.
I am
really mostly keen on getting a copy of the DeCastro book.
Do you
know where it was published?
I will
give you a call.

Nigel,
My
interest in making contact with The Calypso Bandit is his connection to the
Abbey School and MSB.
I taught
there from 1966 to 1969, contemporary with Yip Chuck, Basanta, Fr Augustine
etc, Kitty Marcus whom I visited in the year she turned 90.

Wonderful,
Carlos.
I've
never heard of Winston until today.
He might
be the brother of Dr. Marcellin from "down South"???
Of
course, we'd love to have him join us on the 22st.
Thanks
for his email address.

Nigel,
Let me
introduce you to Winston.
He
thought at the Abbey School in the early 70's (before my time) and I met him by
coincidence recently.
I
mentioned to him about the get together on the 21 and he is interested in
joining us.
My wife
and I will also go.
Best

Gentlemen,
I'm
proposing to get together with David de Castro, a.k.a. the "Calypso
Bandit" who will be visiting Ontario in December.
The
date: December 21st
The
time: 7.00 - 10.00 p.m.
Location:
Rotilicious Restaurant, 89 Commercial Avenue, Ajax, ON. (Ph: 905-686-8070
I would
greatly appreciate if everyone could please respond to this email and let me
know ASAP whether you would like to attend.
This
might be a nice way to prepare for the Christmas celebration, eh?
Also,
(2nd request), if anyone is able to pick David up at his daughter's home in
Scarborough and return him there after the get together, I'll sure appreciate
it. Please let me know if we have a volunteer.
Thanks,
everyone.

Laz,
Dillon
Leotaud was one of the earliest MSB students.
Apparently,
he does not own a computer and may not even know how to use one, but his wife
certainly does.
You may
wish to add his wife's email address to your list.
In cases
where you'd like to contact him directly, it is suggested that you should
preface the note with a statement such as "For Dillon" or
"Attention: Dillon", etc.
His
wife's email address is: d.leotaud@gmail.com

I spoke
to Dots (Dillon's wife...) today, I forgot you yesterday so sorry, and her
e-mail address is:-
I
thought that this was her daughter's address so maybe you should put something
like "for Dillon" in the subject box.
Just a
thought

I know
he does not have his own e-mail,
His wife
Dots has and so does his daughter Danielle...
I have
Danielle's address but I would have to get Dots own to send directly to his
house.
I do not
know if he even knows how to operate a computer, but I am sure he would like to
get your information about mount St. B.
I will
call him later and let you know
Thanks M

Mags,
I wonder
whether it would be possible to get Dillon's email address from you?
I'd like
to include him in a database of ex-students of the Abbey School, Mt. St.
Benedict.
If he's
not interested, or if he doesn't have or use a computer, could you also advise
me?
Thanks
for your kind help.

Thanks a
million, Frankie.
I'm
going to guess it's a Form 2 group from 1976 (middle of 1975-77).
This
adds to our collection.
