Dear Friends,
Emails and Facebook postings (in red) follow.
--------------------------------------------
Hi
Ladislao,
Many thanks for the circular. At a cocktail party last night
[this was in 2002], I met a Mrs Shoul who told me that her husband and two
other brothers were at Mount during the 1940s and 1950s.
She says two of them (I cannot remember the names) are still
living in Antigua, but one has died.
She gave me her email address and I have sent her the URL to the
Abbey School website.
She has promised to make her husband, whom I did not meet, sit
down and look at it.
In case you would like to contact her,
She is Mrs Gene Shoul at gene@candw.ag,
All the best,
Don
-------------------------------------
(In my list only one
SHOUL appears, so please give the names of the rest!!!,
Can anyone help?
Ladislao
Even better if you
can provide the e-mail addresses.)

Column: No columns have been received, sorry.
There seems to a
hands down strike by the MSB writers guild.

Thanks Glen for your
continued leadership around all aspects that beneficially impact all of us
-------------------------------------------------------------------.
We love you guys,
I'm speechless, thanks on behalf of all Venezuelans, God bless you all.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------.
Thank you Sir George Mickiewicz for this important message on
helping in funding our Venezuelan hermanos, thru Sir Ladislao Kertesz.
I cannot
ask any brother to give more than he can,
I would
like to give as Sir George Mickiewicz pledge of US$100. also from
Canada.
I think I
saw Sir Don ID Mitch pledge us$500 to start the ball rolling.
Our
brothers in Trinidad, the ASAA already have their hands full, with supplies of
foodstuff and general supplies, operation in place and doing a tremendous job,
Big
Cheers.
So if the
rest of us on the outside can help Sir Ladislao Kertesz do his job there as the only
director, from the ASAA in Venezuela.
Sending
any currency to Sir Laz, he will take it; US$10 is the most I will ask of any
brother.
I hope
this thing goes well, I already planning ah party in Margarita Island, to be
arranged by the one and only Sir José Leonardo Chacín Becerra,
yuh see,
we going to work Sir Laz so hard, we will have to give a holiday in Margarita
island well that is the plan so far, ha ha.
THANK YOU
FOR READING, THANK YOU IF YOU GIVE. THANK YOU FOR JUST BEING HERE. ONE LOVE ONE
CLUB .
Please
check Sir George Mickiewicz post for the correct
information.
MUCHAS
GRACIAS VIVA VENEZUELA. CHEERS EL CLUB.

Re: Great Grand Knight Sir Jon Golding.
Today a pillar fell down in the castle.
My dear
humble brother & friend Sir Jon Golding has passed away.
This
brother had success in so many ways, a hard worker to educate himself to the
highest level of finance & banking, which he did.
He told me
he had an old car like James Bond ha! ha!
He lived
in London but had a winter place in Barbados.
The one
place he loved the most and found peace was the mount.
He wanted
it to be like it was before, he tried in every way to help bring it back, he hired
the most expensive lawyer in Trinidad, he had funding arranged with others, he
just wanted to help, and his efforts for these old buildings, were solely from
an intrinsic reason & personal, not to get rich from these old buildings
but something that could pay and continue to preserve that holy site, he was
the only millionaire that joined us and got into the trenches and we fought for
our rights as past students to have a reunion with our castle and a place to
rest our plaque, all of which failed, after so many offers to help keep the
mount floating and not to sink into chaos as the rest of the great things in
Trinidad that have disappeared.
We have
lost all the real support we had to help the mount,
So with
Sir Jon Golding passing, so also goes that great idea we once shared,
Sir Don,
Sir Dr Bratt these were the writers of the knights when I jumped to help Sir Ladislao Kertesz & Sir Nigel Boos many moons ago, pulling in Sir Kazim Abasali with me a few years after.
He was a
man of action, where talk is cheap.
I will
miss him and our Club has lost one of its biggest contributors of this Club.
one example every mount boy on Link In thru me, is thru Sir Jon, he put me on
Link In and told me to put the mount boys I wanted, I put every mount boy I
could find, many use it every day in the business world now.
Sir Jon
gave up about doing anything on the mount and said the Club and our daily
reunions is all that really matters, the rest is in our hearts.
The order
of knights will always pay great respect to our Great Grand Knight, a voice and
leader within our inner circle.
We must
continue in the footsteps of these great men that go before us, we still have
great pillars that holding up the castle, we continue to make a difference
where ever we are, those boys that attended that school in that Dutch enclave,
well we are still here and we may even accomplish greater things in a different
way to help our fellow man,
God Bless
You Sir Jon, you were a true big brother to Sir Kazim & myself, Sir Jon
& Sir Don, the best of friends but could argue bitterly ha! ha!
Both did
so much for us who are here now, holding on, it’s hard.
The troop
is a bit weak today.
Thank you
for allowing me to express these feelings.
It’s never
nice to get punch in the stomach so early in the day.
We must
extend our love to his family and our lost ones also.
Best regards –
Glen.

Amen. Awesome speech
Sir Glen G. McKoy
12 October 14:19
Glen, I needed
someone like you, a dear Mount Boy to grieve together, find solace in each
other. Jon's passing is a big loss and God knows how big his heart was. I salute
him and pray for his family and friends who feel his departure from us
12 October 14:23
As our circle grows
smaller, we only hold on stronger. One Love Sir Kaz.

I heard Venezuela
stop accepting US$.
16 November 10:20
Glen, I do not
belong to the "upper management' of the ASAA.
No-one
needs my approval to offer financial or other assistance to a worthwhile effort
such as this.
It is up
to each person to make up his mind as to what sort and what level of support he
would wish to offer.
I wish
great success to this fine effort. Good going, guys.
16 November 11:36
It might be better
to just fly a couple guys to Trinidad and have them shop and take the stuff
back and distribute, gas is cheap in Venezuela, so they can drive and pick up
their stuff.
(The law does not permit moving food
between cities, Ladislao)

Jajajajaja
17 November 04:21
You are in
retirement Sir Nigel Boos and this is not ASAA,
This is
just the Club.
We don’t
have upper management but we have boarders.
Thank you
for the positive feedback at all times
Cheers Glen.

If any members are collecting any funds, for
any reason in the name of the Abbey School Mt St Benedict. T&T, it must be
cleared and okayed by this Club, upper management. Sir Ladislao Kertesz, ID Mitch, Nigel Boos, Ian Gomes, George Mickiewicz, Andres Freites, Raul Andres Leoni, Garnet Diaz.
This is for the international membership, an
old order, the local chapter works in mysterious ways, I am confused.
The Club.

Everything
is done in the black market where $$$ are next to gold in value.
It is
projected that one dollar will be worth 500000 bolivares by early next year.
You can
check dollar day web site to see that day’s black market exchange rate.
It is an
unbelievable situation
16 November 09:39
Sir Glen, imagine
that they will all respect protocols!
16 November 00:12
US Dollars in
Trinidad is like food in Venezuela, scarce like hell.
15 November 23:00
They can't eat the
money, I really don't see the point in handing out cash. What about food
shortage? I see videos of people living off of garbage cans and dumps.
15 November 22:12
If a hamburger is
$50.00US in Venezuela, then money has no value there.
15 November 22:21
They need food

McKoy of Ye Ole Cove!!
(Please do not
forget to make a small donation to your humble servant to keep the CIRCULAR
going, with it you would help my needs for HPD, High Protein Diet which needs
to be shipped from Miami Florida (door to door service), thank you all,
Ladislao)
