Dear
Ladislao,
Attached
please find a one page summary of my life after Mount Saint Benedict.
I
have read many of your circulars and every time I do it reminds me of those 7
years of fun, games and studies.
So
many stories I carry with me about that period of my life.
The
summary is just so we can get in touch with the Mount boys that were with me in
that period.
I’ll
be in Miami next week, I’d like to see if I can get in touch with some of the
mount boys and get an MSB family reunion.
Hope
you have a very nice Easter. I’ll call you from Miami.
Regards,
Enrique

Hi Laszlo,
Thank
you for your reply.
I attended MSB back in the year 1948 when I was a seminarian at
St. John Vianney.
The main reason was to catch up on my Latin for in those days
that was the language of the church.
Most of my schooling was done in Guyana where I graduated from
high school.
During my time at the Mount some of my classmates were Osmond
Gomes (since dec'd), Fr Vincent Compton, Bernard Gomes, Cecil DaSilva. Just to
name a few.
A lot of my contemporaries I have lost touch with for obvious
reasons.
There is a Latin phrase that describes it adequately, i.e.,
Tempus Fugit.
However, there are memories of the school that will live on
forever and I thank God for them, and the many good priests that laboured to
make us the men we are today.
I am retired after many years as a lawyer in my own practice and
still find time to volunteer in ministry during the winter in the Caribbean.
Thank God for that! So
much for me and my escapades.
God bless you and your family.
Keep up the good work you are doing!
Ian

the whereabouts of those named by Ian??? EDITOR)

Lad,
thank you for your reply.
No,
Fr. Francis did not contact me, neither did I get in touch with him, since my
mail to him was refused and there it stands.
God
bless!
