Dear Friends,
Since his laundry number is going to be mentioned by Don, I also
remember mine, No. 172.
I challenge the youngsters to send me their laundry numbers?
This carnival was not of my time, since I arrived on the 15 of September
1955.
But can assure you that I recognize all the shops that appear in the
film.

Hello Salah,
Many thanks for the words of kindness.
It is wonderful to hear news of your mother, whom I
remember very well.
She has some very good genes, I must say.
You can be comforted that you have probably
inherited them.
I hope that she will continue to enjoy relative
good health.
In fact, I hope to hear news of her 100th birthday
in just a few short years time.
It may amuse you to learn that the school laundry
number that she used to help me with was 115.
I have retained that number all my life.
It was my PO box number in St Kitts from 1971 to 1976.
From 1976 until today it has been my car licence
number.
There weren’t many cars in Anguilla in 1976 when we
came to live here, so I was No 115.
[My driving licence number is 0000011, but that is
only because I was the 11th applicant when the new computerised system came
in.]
Keep well.
Don

Greetings everyone,
While we pray and mourn with our brother Judge
Anthony on the passing of his dear mother ...and while we sympatize and pray
for the mother of our Mitchell Brothers.
We still give thanks and praise to the Father
above, for everything and celebrate their lives for the only sure thing that we
know is that one day we will all be in the same situation.
It does not matter the age because we have lost so
many brothers ...rather they have just gone on before us.
But please allow me to share a little hope and joy
with you all today December 1st 2012
Today my mother your old
'Matron Wilson' celebrates her 94th birthday...
I have just spoken with her ( me being in Canada)
and she is doing fine.
I told her about the communication with the 'old
boys from the college' and she remembers very well some of the things she used
to do up there ....she even remembers the names of some boys.... amazing.
She was up there on the mount from about 1950 until
about 1966-67.
This in particular is a message of hope for the
Mitchell brothers.
Five years ago just before her birthday in 2007 my
mother got really sick with heart problems.
We were rushing her to the hospital repeatedly and
we all thought .....well that was it and she already lived a long life.
It was around this time also that we had to take
her up at the home for the aged rest house at Mt. St. Benedict because of some
renovations to her home.
It was also at this time she was re-united with her
dear old friend our Kitty Marcus.
It was a great re-union of which I had shared some
pictures with this forum ( I had played some Pan for that occassion, and Kitty
was the MC....all true)
I had also taken my Mom earlier that year before
she got sick to meet with another good old friend our dear Fr. Cuthbert ..
They recognized each other with a good hug ( I am
still trying to find those photos).
Anyways again my message to the Mitchell brothers
...as bad as it may appear ..please never give up hope ...when our time comes
every one of us we have to answer the call and thats the way it is ...but no
one , none of us knows the time and hour only the Father above and these are
words of Jesus. ...so while the living is alive there is always hope.......
My best regards to all of us who still have their
dear mothers please give them a hug...best wishes to all
Regards
Salah (Abbey School 1963-1970)

Queridos
y recordados amigos de MSB,
Que
afortunada coincidencia, con frecuencia voy al Litoral Caraqueño,
específicamente a Puerto Azul, y siempre me acuerdo de Giacomo Tomaselli y
familia, siempre Los TOMASELLI han sido una referencia para los Caraqueños que
bajamos a las Playas por mas de casi 50 años ¡!!!
Quiero
expresar en esta oportunidad, lo constante y perseverante que han sido Glen,
Ladislao y Salvador sobre este particular de lograr contactar amigos y
relacionados de MSB, that is to say ….THE ABBEY SCHOOL ¡!
Aquí
aparecen también amigos, que si bien no estamos en contacto permanente, siempre
son recordados, por ejemplo mi apreciado y querido Oscar Cantore que ahora
viviendo en Panamá no lo veo con frecuencia, pero también a Sarkis que siempre
me envía e mails pero tengo muchos años que no lo veo …..Toñito Mezzana,
Enrique Zanella que también por años no nos vimos y ahora sabemos de cada uno y
para de contar …..Edgar Moffie me llamo el Sábado pasado y así con los anos no
hemos perdido contacto ¡! Gracias a Dios ¡!!
A todos
un fuerte abrazo y VIVA MOUNT SAINT BENEDICT ¡! and have a nice nice weekend
and Fathers Day !!!!

That
fortunate coincidence, often I'll go to the coast from Caracas, specifically to
Puerto Azul, and always remember me Giacomo Tomaselli and family, always the

for over almost 50 years!!
I
wish to express on this occasion, the constant and persevering that they have
been Glen, Ladislao and Salvador on this particular to contact friends and
related MSB, that is to say.. .THE ABBEY SCHOOL!
Here
also are friends, that although we are not in permanent contact, you are always
remembered for example my dear and beloved Oscar Cantore who now living in
Panama I don't see often, but also to Sarkis who always sends me e mails but I
have many years who do not see it...Toñito Mezzana, Enrique Zanella which also
for years we were not and we now know each and have...Edgar Moffie called me
last Saturday and so over the years we have not lost contact! Thank God!!
