Dear
Friends,
One more
week of my personal vacations, and it is snowing in Budapest, luckily I had
warm underwear.
Hope to
be back on the 28th, and finish the backlog of Circulars.

From Nigel Boos
Hey, you guys,
Thank you for your words of encouragement. I really hope that the
fellas take me seriously.
But this exercise does point up the fact that there must be just
a small nucleus of OB's who really care about keeping together. And I guess
that this alone might be worth the effort.
So said, perhaps I should simply make a smaller database for
"the interested and voluble" OB's and just ignore the rest who don't
wish to be involved. Perhaps that might be a good option.
Anyway, for the time being, I'm on the team and I'll keep on
trying to update you all, whenever I can.
Nigel

I understand your exasperation completely Nigel, but as Glen Mc
Coy is saying this exercise should not be about those old boys who don't want
to be part of this "club" but about those who do want to be members
of the club.
For example in my particular case I have found Ed Lloyd, Terrence
Ferriera, Clyde Vieira, Howard Ho, the elusive Michael [bigJoe] Azar, Don
Mitchell, David Bratt and you, just to mention a few names and not to mention
the hilarious and profound Glen Mc Koy who went to the school after I left, so
don't do like Billy Beane in the movie MONEY BALL, he hit a home run which
changed the game of baseball for all time, and he didn't even realize it.
For example through your efforts I not only made contact with
Clyde Vieira who lives in Toronto now but through him
I found Dario Romalo in Toronto a childhood friend who I knew
long before I ever saw the mount.
So on behalf of all of us who do want to be part of this
exercise, I offer our thanks to you, Ladislo and Don on an outstanding
achievement.

Hello Antonio & Nigel,
Tony, Thank you for your email.
I am glad to see your reply to Nigel.
Some times its very difficult to contact some brothers, where
some ground work must be done, from the locations like Venezuela, we can check
a phone book but if the person in not in the phone book, it’s difficult for Nigel
or Ladislao to make contact.
I do understand what Nigel has to go thru at times, sometimes we
call out for help, many times we get back no reply, yet everyone enjoys the
free services that are rendered.
I must say for the few brothers, about 10, that talk about things
try to get a spark, they are all great guys, if I must say these few good men,
is the reason I continue to be part of this Club.
Thank you Nigel, I respect you decision as always, you can do
whatever you wish, but you can never leave this Club Amigo, cause you are ON MY
LIST HOMBRE,
ha! ha! Cheers and next time I am in Toronto, Roti & Carib on
me.
Adios Glen McKoy.

Hi Nigel,
I really appreciate the great work you've done, helping to
re.grouping this brotherhood.
Seems not useful, but on the contrary, it is a great tool.
Now, how things are here in Venezuela, I've been forced to send
my only son out of the country (Chicago-USA),
Because of the insecurity and this crazy government, that had
broken too many people, (me twice within nine year or less), obligate me to
find other source specially in other currency but Bolivars, out of Venezuela,
I believe this database will help me, since I think that Trinidad
& Tobago, could be my next Investment .
Thank you Nigel for your work, don't feel you've lost your time.
My regards, my friend;

Subject: MSB Old Boys Database Update as of
Feb 13, 2013
Gentlemen,
It's been a few months since I sent out an update on the MSB Old
Boys Database, so here it is now, effective today.
I've highlighted in yellow any changes I've made since the last
go-around, and this should make it easier for you to update your own records.
Now, may I ask you for some help, please?
I know I've done this before, but to be honest, the response has
been dishearteningly apathetic and negligible. With very few exceptions, the
Old Boys as a group have unfortunately proven that you really don't care to
keep in touch, and to want to help me to update this list, so here's my
request:
If you guys pass the test, I'll take back what I've said.
If I get no response, or a limited response, please consider this
my last kick at the cat.
I'm outta here.
Would those who live in Venezuela please try to get the email or
telephone contacts for me, for this others for who we currently have no
information.
Would all those who live in Trinidad whose last names begin with
"A" please check the telephone directory and contact the OB's whose
last names also begin with "A" and for whom we have no email or
telephone contact and ask them to let us have their contact info.
Similarly, would those whose last names begin with a
"B" do the same for the "B" group,
And so on, and so on and so on . . . .You get the idea?
So, here's the latest database update:
Have fun.
