Ladislao:
The email I sent you
on October 27 (below) was all I planned to say regarding the reunion.
In
short, "It was a great two days and we were all very happy to spend some
time with and see Lionel Roberts (Brother Vincent) and his wife Merlene.
The
first night we had a wonderful dinner and the second day we were all too busy
drinking, bullshitting and eating doubles and no one was taking notes.
I have
no plans of writing a long winded report.
THE END.

Gentlemen:
Here are just a few
more photos taken by Paul D. & Christian.
We
can't wait to see all those taken by Pedro Coscarart.
The
reunion turned out very well and one we all enjoyed.
Special
thanks to all attendees, to Neil for those delicious "Trini Doubles"
and to Merlene and Lionel for putting up with us.
We all
behaved, even Neil.
Neil:
Please forward this on to Terry, Glen, Tim, Farchag and Alan. I didn't get
their email addresses.
The
1950s old guys who came: Richard Galt, Khris DeMarothy, Tony Seheult, Paul de
Verteuil, Christian & Donald Goddard.
The in
between guy: Terry Ferreira
The
1960s youngsters: Pedro Coscarart, Neil Charles, Glen Schaeffer, Alan Chandler,
Tim and Farchakh.
I
believe I got all the names of the attendees.
It was
a great couple of days.
We
should do it again next year.

Gracias Don
I know
that the event was Fast and Furious, jaja.
But
since you have demonstrated your abilities to make a short event into long
prose, I turn to you for help.
The
rest of the guys usually do not write more than a sentence at a time, as can be
seen in the Facebook chats.
And
George Mickiewicz was not there to cover.
Thanks
on behalf of the Circular, I shall include it in the No.889 God willing.
Remember
that your news is always excellent

Hi Don,
How are you? Hoping that by now you have polished your
report on the excitement and results of the St. Petersburg reunion.
I was
told by George Mickiewicz, that the Circular should get the information from Facebook.
I did
look but there were no comments from the organizer, you!
I am
sure that you are keeping it a secret and that you are going to surprise me
with an article for a new circular just as you wrote when Wayne Vincent Brown
was alive,
Or
when you wrote on the treasures in the Venezuelan coasts, or the house project
in the keys, and others that I have forgotten.
Thank you before
hand
Ladislao

Thanks for your
prompt responses and interest.
Lots
of buzz yesterday in our AB MSB Facebook which will be the main conduit of info
between now and the reunion.
Plus
there are regular postings on past/present/future stuff related to the Mount
and all of us who attended.

Sounds like a good idea to me, as long as
Neil is bringing “Doubles”.
Thanks
for getting the ball rolling Tim.

The list (Attached) is up to 14 souls with
Richard Galt being the last one to tell us he would gladly attend.
Around mid-September, when we have an
approximate number,
I'll
put together and agenda of activities for the tree days (Sunday October 14,
Monday 15th and Tuesday 16th).
Thanks
for inquiring. It would be great if you could attend as well.

This
is a great idea. I’m sure it will work and be a success.
Christian
and I will try real hard to make it.
The
St. Petersburg reunion turned out quite well thanks to all the attendees and
especially to Neil Charles’ delicious “Doubles”.

Ladislao:
Phone
calls to guys all over the globe is expensive and not practical.
Mount
boys have been contacted through your email list,
George's
(Yuri) list and Don Mitchell's email list.
If by
now, of the one million Mount Boys out there, those who don't know by now about
the reunion, are living in a cave.
We all
know cave dwellers usually don't go out even to catch a few sun rays.
Joking
aside, we realize it's not easy for a bunch of old farts to just get on a plane
to fly long distances and also costs are rather high.
For
those living in Cubazuela (once called Venezuela), traveling is not an easy
undertaking.
European
living Mount folk are just too far.
Those
who will come live in the USA.
Maybe
a few Canadians or even West Indies dwellers might make it.
We
must remember the main reason for the reunion is to be able to spend some time
with Brother Vincent, the person we admire so much.
Those
14 guys who plan to come to the reunion have already informed us.
If we
pick up five more by October that will be perfect.
We can
expect anywhere between 15 and 20 guys to participate.
Some
will bring their wives and that would be excellent.
George,
Neil, Tony, my brother Christian and myself all believed from day one of the
idea of the reunion that if ten guys came that would be a good number.
Nevertheless,
those who can make it will have a good time bullshitting about those good old
days.

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.
