Hi Don Goddard
Please
forward this note to the oldboys who attended the St Pete’s reunion
Any
other “learnings” from that get together will also be appreciated….thanks
Hi
Guys
Its 6
months away, and we already face our first decision…..WHEN & $$$$$.
The
area is very popular in the summer and availability of Airbnb options will
begin to diminish quickly.
The
first option found and offered by Tim earlier this week is no longer available.
Again,
the general location will be in the Eastern Tennessee Smoky Mountains; in the
general area between Knoxville to the west, Morristown to the Northeast and
Sevierville/Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg to the Southcentral and base area of the
Smokies.
Tim
has found this new one today which is closer to his home….but it will probably
not be available for long.
It
requires a minimum of 2 nights for booking and is currently available for the
whole week.
The
cost would be $40/person/night assuming 10 folks will stay there.
Staying
in other hotels/cabins/non Airbnb lodging will probably cost in the general
range of $100-200/night
So,
please provide your responses as appropriate to the 8 questions below.
---------------------------------------------
It is too early to
make my respective commitment; let’s wait until __________ (MONTH) next year to
plan and make the arrangements.
Airbnb….Are
you willing to send a check to Tim for the appropriate amount ASAP? YES OR NO
In the
St Pete’s reunion, the group gathered for 2 nights/3 days…..is this still OK?
YES OR NO
If NO
in 3 above; how many days______________?
Proposing
that we arrive in area on Monday 1st July and depart on Wednesday 3rd
July. YES OR NO
I am
undecided at this point and will not commit until next year in _________
(state month)
Sorry,
but I will be unable to attend _________________ (regrets)
Any
other issue that you would like to have addressed:
----------------------------------------------------------
Others
that plan to stay longer in the area can make their respective arrangements
accordingly.
All…please
share this invite with other oldboys and classmates who might be interested in
attending …… thanks
God bless,
George/Jorge/Yury/Shish (AB-MSB 1956 – 1962)

George:
All the guys who
were in St. Petersburg are listed on your email.
There
are only three important factors:
1) the
when,
2) the
where and
3)
hotel costs and comfort.
You
need throw a few dates out there for maximum 2 to3 days and get
feedback.
The
location should be nice and easy to get to.
I
checked out the location of Gatlinburg TN and it is an easy 11 hour drive for
me.
This
is the same as the drive from my home to St. Pete.
Choose
a comfortable hotel there with good price (around $150 max), with good
food and where everyone can stay.
Let
each person do their own reservation and pay their own tab.
In my
opinion, those fancy villas won't work because you need them for a minimum
7days and they don't hold a whole lot of people.
Besides,
not everyone brings their wives
Don Goddard.

Thanks, Don,
For your wise
guidance.
Tim
would like to host us at his home and a weekend works best for him to do that.
The
weather needs to be on the warm/hot side as he also wants to take us on his
lake.
At
this point we are flexible on the dates and are open to y’alls inputs,
George.

Hi Don G.
I am a
probable to attend the reunion, but it is a long way off and probably will not
commit before the first of the year.
I
agree with most of your suggestions.

link e incorporarlo al grupo porque el otro teléfono ha perdido toda su
capacidad de almacenamiento o , mejor dicho , su capacidad está saturada y no
reproduce ni los vudeos ni las fotos. Favor tomar debida nota. Gracias
Hector William Bartholamew Arthur Timothy Ahow , good morning sir. Por favor
reenviame el video al otro teléfono. Tú lo tienes. Saludos. Do you
remember my good friend Mr. Pugh ?? Was he from Barbados or from Suriname ??
13-08-2017 Gyuris
Attila: Do you mean John Pugh!
John Pugh was a
red-haired kid, kind of pudgy, with lots of freckles who loved to sing campfire
songs. He taught me a lot of them. If I remember correctly he was from an
Irish descent, and living in Barbados at the time. Apparently John Pugh has
died a long time ago. I don't have any details, but Fr.Cuthbert told that to
Jan Koenraadt when visited him in Holland, back in 1981.

This is a group of
all whose learning experiences at Abbey School, either as
Teachers, Staff or students have led them to love this place on the hills of
Mount St. Benedict, building on memory after memory to develop into the persons
we have become, the families that have been nurtured, the friendships that have
lasted, the monks who have left their mark on us and our corner of the world
that we live in.
