Ian,
Good to hear from
you, man, you always had a good sense of Humour.
Well you know me, I
was like, on the wanted list, by the older guys, and man I give them hell, but
also learned, to be out of sight, out of mind.
I liked Nigel, he
enjoyed my sense of Humour, you guys were cool, like most brothers on the Mount??
Kamal Kahn had a
lot of mouth then also.
Man, Tenia, use to
call Hudson his son, and I had to hide from
them guys, Garth, was like the hulk, I liked him but still give him shit.
I just didn’t give
them no respect, and always cursing them, and running.
After a year or so,
things kinda cool down.
Man, I left Trinidad in 1977, and I would always ask about
the guys at home, and man for awhile, its seemed like the guys, at home avoided
each other.
Ian, it’s good to
hear from you, and I will need to know more about the group in Trinidad, what’s
going on there, and why so much silence??
We need to know, as
we have a few projects in the works, things we hope will benefit the whole
group,
At times we tried
to get some feedback from Trinidad, however our request seems to fall on deaf
ears.
The only one voice,
that have come forward all the time, in Trinidad, is Mr Jon Golding.
Ian, I am a
Trinidadian, and this concerns me, probably there are things I am not aware of,
but when now, we have a 70% of our international support, coming from
Venezuela, where was the school located??
Like, when John
Guio, the loose cannon, started with his half-baked story, the rest just stood
by, and watched like sheep, I had to step in for the Hippies from the Sixties,
for some of us know, the true story, you could fool the people some time, but
not all the time.
My regrets to Pig
and Jaggy, for the not nice things I said about them, and these two guys got
along well with me.
What do I do now? As a committee member, I must stand and protect
the Club from any inner or outer harm.
If you are in
contact with these guys, please give them my best regards, and they may
personally contact me anytime, for all are my brothers.
The good, the bad
and the ugly.
The Trinidad group
must pull their socks up, and forget the past, and start looking at the future,
we pray.
We need a strong
home base club, in Trinidad, which we are here to support.
Enough on that,
however I would like your comments on same, very concerned.
Take care, my
brother.
Please give Nigel,
my best regards,
I love you guys,
Glen McKoy....

Re: FW: Escapades with the monk's scooter
Glen, you had me
cracking up boy. All of us had experiences like that.
A drain in Curepe
on a Saturday when going to Planet Cinema,
Diving in the
bushes by the Bee Hives to get away from a red belly from Winston Copeland,
Neville Tenia, Garth Alexander, Jordan
and Co. Man I know. And the stealing of the Lambrettas I remember.
There was also a
blue Volkswagen that Winston Copeland drove once.
Johnny Garcia (then
the Head Prefect) Winston, Kamal Kahn and myself used to go to fete in town.
We were all
prefects at the time.
I also remember
catching you and Joe Berment smoking. Joe tried to hide the cigarette in his mouth
and you in your pocket.
I held Joe’s nose
and your hand in your pocket.
Both of you did not
appreciate that, but I had a good laugh.
HEeee!
Laterz
Ian

QUIET PRAYER
There is nothing
better than older people praying for you.
We're not getting
older, just getting closer to home!
The instructions
are to pick four people You want God to bless.
I pick you.
Please pass this to
at least 4 people you want to pray for and include me.
This prayer is
powerful, and prayer is one of the best gifts we receive.
There is no cost
but a lot of rewards. Let's always pray for one another.
The prayer:
Father, Thank You
for each and every day
You have blessed us
here on earth.
Thank You for Your
tender mercies.
Thank You for
giving us friends and family to share joys and sorrows with.
I ask You to bless
my friends, relatives, brothers and sisters in Christ and those I care deeply
for, especially those who are reading this right now.
Where there is joy,
give them continued joy.
Where there is pain
or sorrow, give them your peace and mercy.
Where there is
self-doubt, release a renewed confidence.
Where there is
need, fulfil their needs.
Bless their homes,
families, finances, their goings and their comings.
In Jesus' name,
Amen.
*If you choose to
send this to more than four people, you are truly blessed to have such friends.
Have a wonderful day

Hi Victor. I have a copy of this photo and remember the visit of the
