Hi, Lindsay,
It was good to see the message from you
on the latest Circular: http://abbeyschoolmtstbenedict2013circulars.blogspot.com/
and, to know that you are okay.
I have often wondered over the past
50-odd years how you fared.
I studied law in London and returned to
the Leeward Islands in 1971.
I have lived and worked here ever
since.
My brother Gordon graduated as a civil
engineer in Scotland a year or two after me, and also returned to the West
Indies.
He has lived and worked in Trinidad and
Tobago ever since.
Perhaps you can help me with a name that
I believe may be missing from the database kept by Nigel.
Was there ever a boy from Saint Lucia
named “Peter Kingshot” or something like that during your time at Mount?
Keep well.
Don

Thanks for including me in this initiative, Don.
Perhaps we can also ask one of the
Johnson boys, or Stuart Monplaisir, whether he remembers anyone by that name,
from St. Lucia.
I also have another friend, Jeffrey
Devaux, who lives in St. Lucia, who might check into this for us. (Jeff - would
you please check on this and let us know what you find?
Also, would you mind asking Richard
Johnson to let me have his email address?
Thanks.)
Nigel

others know how much work is done in the background, and you for sure never

dedication, so I am sending you this, it may mean something or it may nothing
just trying to say.
Thank You, Cheers To You, My Dear Friend

FROM:- THE LION'S DEN / A BUNKER INSIDE
OF A MOUNTAIN / HIGH UP IN THE SKY.
As the month of April 2009 draws to an
end
Old man Winter is still blowing cold
winds from up north.
He knows that the sun is around the
corner, and will rule in the month of June.
Mi Amigos, My Brothers, I extend my
warmest greetings, born in the month of August/ Leo, on the island of the
Castle, that sits right under the Sun, I stand in the Realm, as "The Lion
Knight". Long live the Mount.pax.com
WELCOME
TO THE DEN/PRIVATE CLUB /MEMBERS ONLY ASAA /MSB OLD BOYS. T&T.
Tales from " White Stones",
The Last Circle / year=198X /Attitude of Gratitude.
CIRCLE
OF 8 KNIGHTS+1 KNIGHT STANDING+1 KNIGHT ON WATCH=10K.
Copied from the book, "The King of
Hearts" in the Bunker, that is kept in the Chest.
Beyond politics, religion, race and
ideologies, we become One, as we walk into the Light, and enter into Realm of
True Knights. In the last 2 weeks, in the last month of the last year, of a
Knight on the Mount. He must repeat his pledges and vows, he made in the
beginning, so too as he leaves. To stand in the middle of the Circle of 8, also
1 Knight on watch, at the base of the hill.
Below the Eagles in the Sky, on one knee
they kneel, in their Secret, Sacred Circle. On their "Holy Ground",
that place they call "White Stones." Surrounded by mountains all
around, in this Sacred Emerald Forest, of Mt. Tabor, he pledge his vows, 4years,
4ever, Till Kingdom Comes, we will meet again in the Present, as the Legend
reads, and that is when the real Magic begins, in our Golden Years of Light, we
will find Wisdom, all Knight. This was the Last Circle, ever recorded, the
following year, the Abbey School was closed. As I copy these tales from the
book, "The King of Hearts", I find it so fascinating, that as I am
copying these tales, a lot of strange things are actually happening as I write,
how can this be possible, If you told me this story, and knew nothing of the
Mount, I would have a hard time believing it. Like out of nowhere new brothers
are coming in, with so much joy, like if they were returning home, or
something, after a long journey, absolutely incredible, out of nowhere, they
all reappeared, these so called Knights, without any communication, for 30 to
40 years. Like Cosmic Vibes right out of the Universe they arrive. Its beyond
my imagination, these tales of Knights, for some strange reason I believe, as I
am copying and writing, from this book "The King of Hearts" which was
handed to me by a grand master (T), a few years ago, he said, please "Lion
Knight, I am getting slow and I am getting old, so you must do your best, to
let the Brothers know. These tales are real, and don't forget I
told you so, as you go into this book, your life, will also change. "The
Lion Knight", Standing in the Light.
Best Regards my brothers, may the sun
shine bright on you, may God bless and take all your troubles away, have a nice
day, until we meet again,
Glen McKoy.

E-
Book.
You have done a great job in your
adventure-fantasy creations.
It needs to be documented.
Would not surprise if it eventually is translated
into a movie.
Looking forward to reading it,
George

Subject:
thE- Book.
Hello Sir Ladislao & Company,
Back to E-hard cover book. I have to
accept the fact that I am knocking on a closed door, with regards to a cabinet
of old photos, on the Mount.
Now what baffles me is, the only people
interested in these photos, would be us, who are still alive, these photos are
really our private property.
However, I am glad to know that they do
exist, well kept and protected.
Moving on, my son is going to help me
put the Tales of The Knights of White Stones, into some kind of order, he is a
writer, working on scripts ect. he asked me, I did not ask him, so that was a
surprise to me.
It all started off, as a few good men
exchanging some stories, then Bandit started to bug me about a book, then
Anthony Lucky seriously asked me a couple of times about this book, also
offered to help, and then you Sir. Ladislao said to complete it.
I have been a little shy at first,
because I am not well versed in the English language, as you may have noticed
from the emails you get from me, ha! ha!,
I can draw, play chess, play guitar,
piano, drums, sail ect. but I was never no writer, you guys went into my heart,
and drew out all the Mount I had in me,
I must thank you all, for the
inspiration you gave me, and then the true encouragement with every Tale, ha!
ha! the dreams of a boy.
Anyhow it’s in the works, and hopefully
in time, a positive manuscript.
The Knights of White Stones,
Mt.Tabor.
The next thing I have on my mind is to
try to organize all the photos we do have.
If it is easily accessible,
I will get it in a video format, a keep-sake
for all to have.
Just wanted to let you know, I am aware
of our priorities.
Re: Reunions, Laz, honestly,
where ever a reunion is happening, the brothers in that region, are responsible
for that location’s arrangements.
George, did a lot of work on this, he
has the figures, not much encouragement to a Trinidad reunion from the members
living abroad.
Laz, with regards to the Trinidad Alumni
Association.
I know nothing of this group. What you put in the Circular, I will respect,
however I don't feel connected due to their lack of communication.
Its prime purpose is a yearly
get-together, and I praise them for this.
Just keeping in touch, we are still with
the program, Cheers my brother, take care.
Glen.

REMEMBER THE LAST TWO BOOKS FROM THE MT ST
BENEDICT??
Sorry to inform you that the author is no
longer with us.
I met him after he wrote the first book
and told him about a foul up in one of the photos that is in the book.
In our conversation we agreed that the
photos need to be catalogued to avoid confusion, also that the method used was
not the best for history.
Fr Mark (Gerald)
Tierney 1925-2011
From a homily preached by Abbot Bernard
Lorent of Maredsous
Abbey
2 GLENSTAL NEWSLETTER Spring 2012 Spring
2012 GLENSTAL NEWSLETTER 3
The word of God addressed to us today
illustrates two important aspects of the life of our brother Mark. The first is
transmission. Christ addresses his very first disciples and these in turn pass
on his message immediately to others.
They bear witness to their meeting with
Christ and refuse to allow it remain hidden in their hearts; which means they
have to communicate, they have to get across to others, what happened to them
when their paths were crossed by Jesus. Fr Mark dedicated his life to such
transmission. His work, his passion for history, was communication of the
memory and witness of things past to generations of students who studied their
history through his text books. Looking at the titles of his many works, he
begins with the history of his locality, Murroe and Boher, and then opens out
to the whole of Ireland before embracing Europe and the rest of the world. He
turns his attention to religious history also in his studies of Irish
monasticism and Benedictinism especially as this unfolded in Glenstal Abbey.
His work proceeds into hagiography with the life of Columba Marmion, dealing as
it does with his doctrine and his influence on the spirituality of the Church
in the lives of so many priests and religious right up to the present
day.
Fr Mark knew that it was possible to be
a Benedictine without being a saint; of living a life worthy of publication
which can be of benefit to future generations. I am thinking as a case in point
of the biography he had completed before he died of Dom Maieul de Caigny who
left Maredsous to become Abbot of Bahia in Brazil and who later founded the
monastery of Mount Saint Benedict in Trinidad. We hope that this last work will
see the light of day in time to celebrate the centenary of their foundation. Fr
Mark carried out his work as historian to the very end of his life here at
Maredsous. It was his way of bearing witness and handing on the tradition lest we
forget; of living out those words of the apostle Philip: ‘Come and see!’
The other aspect of Fr Mark’s life,
which the Gospel this morning indicates, is his vocation. Every conceivable
vocation mirrors the exchange between Christ and Nathanael. Christ chooses us
first. We think we are in control of the situation because we have the
privilege of always being sceptical: ‘Can anything good come out of anywhere?’
‘Before ever Philip spoke to you, I saw you under the fig tree.’ Christ makes
the first move. Before any approach is made to any of us, Christ’s loving gaze
surrounds us.
Fr Mark responded to God’s call by
choosing monastic life. He placed his confidence in the wisdom of St Benedict
who tells his monks that wherever they are they are seen by God, not as one who
threatens but as one who loves.
In prayer, then, let us unite ourselves
with the one who was at the heart of Fr Mark’s vocation, Jesus Christ, whom he
loved for himself, in his brothers and sisters, and in all his study and
research. May Blessed Columba Marmion welcome him into the mystery of Christ
which we now celebrate together.

Dear Ladislao,
I have altered the settings in the older
Circulars on the Blog.
No one seems brave enough, or very few,
to leave a comment on any of the Circulars. Only spammers regularly
attempt to post junk and unwanted advertisements and links to their
semi-literate web pages by posting comments. I have to go into the web
site nearly every day to delete these unwanted comments.
So, I have disabled the comments feature
on the older Circulars. I have left it live for now on the current
Circulars for 2013. I encourage all Old Boys who recognise a photograph,
or who want to comment on any message in the Circulars to do so by following
the instructions on the home page.
If anyone wants to post a comment on any
Circular or photograph, but is unfamiliar with the process, please just send me
an email at idmitchatanguillanet.com, and I shall post it for you.
If anyone has a question on this, please
let me know.
Keep well.

SECTION;
2014 REUNION Part 1
This event seems far away, but by the
way wind blows, maybe we should put the arrangements into hands of
professionals. This would create accountability as to actions requested or
taken.
So I propose that we hire an individual
or company to take over the arrangement of the reunion, with a specific agenda.
This way it should clear the road for a
positive action and free the time for those that have limited time.
Since the directorate of the association
are the trusted guides to accomplish this, I would remind all readers that we
are called to cooperate with the Board of AASA.
So lets us make worklist as to what each
of us would like to see done, or be part off in this Reunion.
