Dear Sir George & the All Knight
Circle.
The Clock is working well, because every
one of us play our part, which ever piece you are on this Chess Board the
Knights of "White Stones", Mt. Tabor.
Some of us knew, when we left the Mount,
this reunion would never end. Long Live Our club.
We feed off each other, we are a Golden
Circle of Friends, not one of us Volunteered to do this, a Spirit came to me
and told me to write.
What's your excuse?
You cannot pay us to do what we do.
We have something good, why not water it
and see it grow.
I think we have a Good Crop this year,
we should Harvest It.
I have come the conclusion, this Club
have tried every avenue for a united body, we remain 202 strong in this Club
now, from 2012 people, who live & worked, as teachers, cooks, cleaners,
gardeners, nurses, drivers, bursars & Day Boys ha! ha!.
We are men of honour; we got respect
from everyone of these people.
We were living in a world in another
world, those of us that document and archive this very important part of
Trinidad history, that have spread across the world, only out of respect to
those that share of this once in a life time Shangri-la, the lest we can do
& lest we forget.
The Abbey School, Mt. Saint Benedict,
Tunupuna, Trinidad & Tobago.W.I.
Nigel is our Present, I cannot even
start to write about Nigel, Our Knight of Light, also Our List Maker & Book
Keeper, a very important role to hold, we cannot acknowledge a member unless he
is in our books.
Nigel is Understood, a Great Big Brother,
like Ladislao, Jon, Don, George, Clive, Atilla, Anthony, Freddy & So Many.
We will all die, but how many of us will
make the Full Circle, I love you guys, you live life in a rich way, in true
friendship, we share our ups & downs, we care for each other, and I really
feel that in my heart.
I would like to say, I could not have
chosen better friends, brothers or colleagues,
This Golden Circle, Best of The Best,
Cheers to whatever we do, or wherever we go, I'll be there, Forever Your Friend
Glen. Big Thanks for all the acknowledgements, its goods to know, we have
touched some souls. Long Live Our Mount,
Gracias, Adios
Glen McKoy.

Great work Ladislao!
Most pictures I’ve not seen but let me
help with identifying the UNKNOWN with the nuns holding a cup or glass.
That is Ricardo Figuera, older brother
of Pablo who was in my class.
Ricardo was the Librarian for many
years. Don should remember that being a library addict!
Keep up the good work
All the best
Jon

RE: Circular No 600
Thank you for the wonderful email Nigel,
you elaborated a lot of those who contribute and supply Ladislao and Don with
their info to put in the Newsletter/Blog.
So many to thank, like you did, and who
do so much to keep the group alive and together. David - Bandit; Glen - our
Knight in Shining Armour, who does so much continuously in the unique ways he
does; Salvador, Jon - for his bold, brave and considerable contribution to the
Mount; to George; the Trinidad MSB Executive; so many to thank, before I came
on board, and even now.
I want to thank you all, community means
a lot, let us continue to cherish one another while we still have each other
with us on earth.
The journey has been long, and now we
must preserve and show deep appreciation to one another.
Thank you again, Ladislao, Don, and
Nigel.
All the best to you all and your
families and the entire group of 'Mount Boys'.

Re: Circular No 600
Glen demonstrates courage, persistence,
determination and, through circulars, a club of past students-young, not so
young and "older".
Kind regards
Anthony

Hi Don;
Thanks for reminding us about the blog.
Hi Ladislao
WOW 600 CIRCULARS!!!!!!!!! = LOVE +
DEDICATION + HARD WORK + PERSISTENCE +FRUSTRATIONS + DILIGENCE + PATIENCE +
INFLUENCING + LEADERSHIP
Most, if not all of us, would have abandoned
this effort many years ago as the initial excitement and participation faded
over time......YOU DID NOT!!!!
The love and interest amidst our MSB
brothers seems to be very mixed based on what I have seen, heard and read.
Probably the typical statistical
distribution:
* 20 % great interest and participation
* 60% with some minor degree of interest
* 20% with no interest whatsoever
May God bless your "saintly"
efforts.
Hi All
Not sure where all of us fall on the
"statistical curve". On the premise that "ACTION SPEAKS LOUDER
THAN WORDS".......THE RESPONSES TO LADISLAO's AND DON'S NOTE WILL TELL US
WHERE WE ARE TODAY.
May God bless you and your families,
George Mickiewicz

Hello Sir George, Sir Don & Sir Ladislao
(Knight from the Sky).
I got this email three times, amazingly
excellent, 600 Circulars, our life works ha! ha! Thank you so much Great
Ladislao, One Voice, One Leader, the Power you carry, I hope you know it and
use it, you are such a wonderful person, you try not to step on any of our
feet, but I say as our leader, you will have to do, what you have to do. The
House is packed, its your move.
It’s a privilege to be in this Club. No
membership fees. Yuh In or Yuh Out.
As one of your humble servants, I pray
you will lead us, with the best of your knowledge, on our quest for Wisdom, in
whatever we do, or leave behind.
Welcome to the Club Mis Amigos. Long
Live the Realm, Long Live the Club, Long Live the Mount. I will share with
names of Knights, that are not on any list.
Cheers Mis Hermanos, Adios
Glen McKoy.

Dear ladislao,
Good to hear from you. I will do as you
suggest and contact Fr. Derek. I don't believe however that our legal status
(the not for profit issue) will change anything about the degree of
participation, ownership and brotherliness within our group.
I believe that the emails are essential,
rather than only posting circulars on the blog spot. Facebook is not my cup of
tea: I am too busy for multiple social media.
I never felt that I had any right to
make any comment because (as you said) I never wrote. I offer instead my twice
weekly radio programmes during which I shared as much of myself as I could and
which is a synthesis of a journey in human service which really begun in
earnest at Abbey School.
It is regrettable that the minutes of
the last directors meeting haven't been finalised as yet, as we agreed that we
will build capacity by holding the following events yearly: a visit to
Venezuela, a service project (or two) for the monastery, a formal dinner, a
beach lime type get together and a fishing trip.
I did write you by WhatsApp last
November 4th asking if you had received my email of last November 1st asking if
you would confirm whether the Spanish Language Immersion Programme by Jakera in
Merida is likely to help us obtain some element of basic proficiency, for a
trip in last December?
I hadn't heard from you since then and
don't know what to make of it. Possibly you can find my prior email and WathApp
text.
Kindest regards,
Joe
(Sorry that my messages have not been
received, Ladislao, I shall amend)

MSB DataBase Update - as of May 19, 2013
Gentlemen,
There have been a few changes to the
dataBase file, and I'd like to direct you to a new link, please, which is more
current than the older one.
Note, as usual, that cells coloured in
yellow simply represent new information which we have recently collected and
included here.
I should also point out that this link,
until I change it, will be continually available to you.
So put it aside somewhere and whenever
you'd like to know what's going on with any of the OB's, just click on it again
and again, and you'll have your answer.
May I also ask that everyone send in
their annual fees for the maintenance of the dataBase - the fee is 50 words or
less per year. Please just give us an idea of what you're about.
Regards,
Nigel Boos
