Hello Nigel (Knight of The Light).
So many discoveries in the past few weeks, unbelievable,
absolutely amazing, what a great job you have done.
So many friends you have joined, more than you will ever know my
friend.
We surely love you.
I like your suggestion of the Small Circle Reunions, it’s how we
started with Small Circles, we created a Great Club.
Good see these guys are still kicking strong.
Welcome to the Club, Mi Amigos, Knights from Antigua.
Best Regards –
Glen McKoy.

Eion & Art & Lamkin & Farah I think live in Nova
Scotia.

Thank You for this info, Ian, we did find out about Malcolm thru
Allan Harris, I will pass his address & phone number to Nigel Boos, Laz
& Don, so they have the correct information.
My dear Sir. Ian,
You have stayed away from many issues etc. .
I miss your input.
I respect whatever your easons are, but you are not involved with
the Alumni in Trinidad for some time now, when you were involved we would talk,
now I feel like I am in the dark, ha! ha!, as I really respected whatever
you had to say, right or wrong, you always had a good view of the
situation.
Ian, I think you should become active again, with regards to the
Circular, we need few in Trinidad, that can make a phone call or two, and you
also know a lot of Brothers, directly & indirectly, you have a wonderful
personality, we need you.
Think about it.
You see, once in awhile, Ladislao or Nigel, always trying to
locate some body, and it’s best to have someone down there, that we can depend
on.
Ian, I know, you see many brothers, that we don't hear from, I
know of the good things, you have done, in the name of your school, behind the
scenes and for a long time in Trinidad.
That's why, I think you should be visible again, I miss your
voice.
Thank You for this email, yours faithfully,
Your Friend -
Glen.

Hi Nigel,
Thanks for the updates on some of your family.
I'm glad to see they are all doing fine. Congrats.
Your daughters are beautiful.
Below I will provide the email addresses of Michael and Hamish
Herrera, Chris, Roger and Hugh.
All (not Chris) live in the Westmoorings area as does Geoff
Herrera, but I do not have his email.
If you want to ever send an envelope to any of them, address it
to me at 92 Dolphin Court, Westmoorings and I can get it to them.
As you probably know, Chris lives in Calgary (friendly there with
Robbie Huggins)
I speak occasionally on the phone with your brother Tony and he
seems to be doing quite well.
Always nice talking to him.
Marion lives in Palmiste, near San Fernando and still works with
Scotiabank in Chaguanas. She has 2 sons.
Also sending address for Jacques de Verteuil who lives in
Ottawa(?)
Regards to all

Hi Cush,
Actually, both would be best, but if there are concerns about
security or whatever, then I'd love to have at least the email addresses, if I
might.
We're doing fine, thank you. And thanks for asking.
Mom is now 93 and still plays her occasional game of bridge with
her cronies.
She looks well, but doesn't eat much.
Fr. John has come home from Algeria to help look after her, and
they're quite inseparable.
Jackie's still making her cakes (cakesbyjackie.com and
alittlesweet.ca) and
looking after me.
We live 6 km away from Mom, so we see her regularly.
Nick is a computer guru, and he works as a Sr. Web Designer
downtown Toronto.
Trina is married to Richard Duhaney and they have one little
daughter, Chloe.
Trina runs two companies in Toronto:
I've given you the links, so you can check them out for yourself.
I really appreciate hearing from you, Stuart, and I send my
sincere regards to all the family.
Please let me know how you're doing yourself.
Keep smiling.
Nigel

Cush,
Thank you for thinking of me.
I'm quite touched.
My sincere regards to all the family, and, if you have the time
and if the others don't mind, would you please confirm for me the addresses of
Hugh, Chris, Roger and Marian, and also of the Herrera boys?
Thanks so much. It was lovely hearing from you.
Nigel

I grew up with practical parents.
A mother, God love her, who washed aluminium foil after she
cooked in it, then reused it.
She was the original recycle queen before they had a name for it.
A father who was happier getting old shoes fixed than buying new
ones.
Their marriage was good, their dreams focused.
Their best friends lived barely a wave away.
But then my mother died, and on that clear summer's night, in the
warmth of the hospital room,
I was struck with the pain of learning that sometimes there isn't
any more.
Sometimes, what we care about most gets all used up and goes
away...never to return..
So... While we have it..... it's best we love it.... And care for
it...
And fix it when it's broken......... And heal it when it's
sick.
Some things we keep. Like a best friend that moved away or a
classmate we grew up with.
There are just some things that make life important, like people
we know who are special........ And so, we keep them close!
I received this from someone who thinks I am a 'keeper', so I've
sent it to the people I think of in the same way...
Now it's your turn to send this to those people that are
"keepers" in your life.
Good friends are like stars....
You don't always see them, but you know they are always there.
Keep them close!
When you
die, 8 things GOD won't ask you:
1.....
God won't ask what kind of car you drove. He'll ask how many people you drove
who didn't have transportation..
2.....
God won't ask the square footage of your house, He'll ask how many people you
welcomed into your home.
3.....
God won't ask about the clothes you had in your closet, He'll ask how many you
helped to clothe.
4.....
God won't ask what your highest salary was. He'll ask if you compromised your
character to obtain it.
5.....
God won't ask what your job title was. He'll ask if you performed your job to
the best of your ability.
6.....
God won't ask how many friends you had. He'll ask how many people to whom you
were a friend.
7.....
God won't ask in what neighbourhood you lived, He'll ask how you treated your
neighbours.
8.....
God won't ask about the colour of your skin, He'll ask about the content of
your character.
Don't count the days. Make the days count
