Ladislao:

Right now I’m in my office at LSU that they let me keep although I retired in 2009. . However, I work from my home office most of the time and on that computer I didn’t have your email.

That’s the reason I let Yuri forward.

I finally added you to my home email and now I can send everything directly.

It would be great if you could make it to St Pete for the reunion.

I realize that for most, especially for those living in Cubazuela, it’s a difficult endeavor.

I’ve lost all contact with Urbano von Fedak .

He‘s probably in Germany with Babsy.  

I sure would like to get his email, if possible

Un abrazo,

Donald

Gentlemen:

In a phone call this morning from Tony Seheult, he mentioned the possibility of Richard Galt making it to the Mount Reunion on October 14th.

That's great news.  I've attached the updated list.

It's worth reminding all that wives and children are more than welcome.

Around end of September, when we know more about the amount of people that will be attending our "Mount Boy" reunion,

I'll put together an agenda for the Sunday (10/14) and Monday (10/15).

It will be based on Marlene's and Lionel's free time on those days.

George, please forward to the rest of the Mount Group  through Ladislao or Don M.

Thanks,

Donald G.

Dear Fr. Augustine

I am resending my 1 of February email to you, since I do not know if you have received it. There has been no communication between the Monastery´s computer and our group or in that case with me. Please send us a short note indicating if you are well or any news that you might want others to have.

-----------------------------

1 of February 2002.

This is the first time I write to you since my visit to TT. The visit brought back good memories and as you see in my lines written for msb oldboys and the web page there is a movement to inquire about old friends and classmates.

Your Guava Jam was very good, I left some for the Vaughan family!!!.

I am glad to have been able to meet you and have the conversation, I am sorry that the time was short and that I could not exchange all the ideas that were in my head as I was being escorted by the friends where I stayed, and I did not want the take more of their time than would have been excessive.

By now you must have read several of my circulars. I hope that you like them. In my addressing system I still do not know how to separately address the circulars so that Fr. Benedict would get his personally and Fr. Cuthbert but some day. I write to all of you with the same kindness.

I would like to get the address of Fr. Paul and Fr. Francis, whom you said to be still living and in a retreat house. Of course if there is an e-mail it would be good and if you could send some lines for those dead, the year, where, and how, that would be interesting. I remember you answering to my questions but my hard drive was full and cannot reproduce your answer for my circulars.

I am including the general list of msb students, I am sure you can add some more and eliminate those that were not. I shall keep you informed if new ones appear. The biggest problem is to find out the Form V graduation year because of the Hi C  and other additional courses that were given after the Oxford and Cambridge exams. Maybe Mrs. Markus can help with the list that she worked on. Do you show her the circulars???. How can I get an access to her year listing???. Don Mitchell who visited you last May told me that Fr. John offered the listing and photos from Fr. Bernard??. Maybe you can follow up.

I am in constant contact with Dr. Isaias Farcheg whom you know and he send his best greetings.

I need a two line information on those that have been in contact with you during these last years. Many of us have lost contact with others and are curious.

Has there been a book of magazine written about the mount, outside the Jubileum issues?? It is interesting that when I was in TT I have heard promotion to visit the mount in a radio station but no information appears in the internet??

This part is new: I hope that you are well and that you get my circular every week. The circulars are for all of you although I do not address them to anybody in particular. My system does not allow this.

God Bless

Ladislao

13-02-2017 Gyuris Attila: Ha, I gave Gabriel  Baptiste  the nickname  "gringo" when he first got to the Mount because he spoke with a strong southern Alabama accent. He was a gentle giant. He set up a DJ station on the loudspeakers with music during the afternoons during bath time. He fancied himself a DJ / radio announcer.  He was pretty good at it too. Yo si me acuerdo del Barrilito. Lo botaron por pelearse a coñazos con Bro. Swa (el que hacía la miel de abejas)   quien lo cachó  quererse robar los mangos abajo del Refectory.  Yo vi la tremenda pelea.

Al fin el Barrilito (haciendo honor a su nombre y a su fuerza) lo tiró al suelo y le tiro una roca en la espalda. Por eso lo botaron, según me acuerdo. Duró unos dos años en el Mount.

13-02-2017 20:34:13: M Ibarra Frank: Jajajajajaj....yo están con él agarrando los mangos. Good old times!

13-02-2017 Ibarra Frank: Tenía varios Doberman...esos perros me despertaron aullando antes de un temblor que hubo una madrugada. Donde Patiño se cortó el pie abriendo la puerta

13-02-2017 Alexander Garth: Hi guys could any one have info on. Joe Bento from Antigua and Robert Prevot from French Guyana and I can't seem to find out what happen to Randal Costello....

13-02-2017 Zanelli Enrique: Me acuerdo de eso clarito....yo lo vi cuando le pego la patada a la puerta.......Se acuerdan cuando llego el papa de Aranguren a recoger a todos los venezolanos en un avión de la FA.... vacaciones adelantadas 😅😅

13-02-2017 Ibarra Frank: Así es, despegamos y algunos de nosotros sentados en el piso...que hay de Aranguren?

13-02-2017 Zanelli Enrique: Ni idea.... una de mis hijas estudio con una venezolana aqui en houston de apellido Aranguren .... pero no era el ni tampoco pariente.... tal vez algunos de los q esta en ccs sepa algo.... su papa era jefe de la escolta o seguridad de Caldera....terminamos en su casa cuando llegamos a ccs

13-02-2017 Ibarra Frank: A desayunar!!!! El avión era el D.C-3 que tenía el nombre La Conquista del Sur...yo salí varias veces con él en CCS pero perdí la pista

13-02-2017 Zanelli Enrique: Coño, que memoria. Alguno q sepa de Aranguren que avise

13-02-2017 Allen Keith: I understand Franco passed some years ago in Barbados  Not positive

14-02-2017 Joseph Habib: This is spreading throughout New York and around the United States. There is no cure for it as per CDC. This patient is engaged and his fiancé is 4 months pregnant. Him and his boys went to the Dominican Republic and caught this from a girl he met out there. His pregnant girlfriend has contracted it from him and the baby had to be terminated.

Be careful who you sleep with.  CDC is aware of this and they have no cure for it. It will eat you from inside out.

14-02-2017 Coscarart Salvador: Yo tambien me scuerdo de eso . El temblor

14-02-2017 Ramsahai toddy: *Alzheimer's ........*
