Circular No 821

Newsletter for alumni of The Abbey School, Mt. St. Benedict, Trinidad and Tobago, W.I.

Caracas, 29 July 2017 No. 821

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Friends,

Re. ASAA News

This is the last formal news that I have on our association.

The other news I have sent in various Circulars are those that I filter from individuals in from their emails

Each day we are less and maybe the only way would be through Video Conferencing, like in big corporations.

Dear Ladislao et al ;

I am pleased to inform you that today I received from the Registrar of Companies the original Certificate of Incorporation of the newly formed Non-profit corporation called “Abbey School Alumni Association”. At long last we have a formal legal body with an identity separate and apart from its members and with a legal framework under which to operate. I think that the “old boys” will be pleased to know.

A copy of the Certificate of Incorporation (which bears a March 22, 2010 date) Articles of Incorporation and Notice of Directors are attached for your record and information.

In the coming weeks I propose that the Directors named in the articles should call a meeting to inter alia :-

1.     appoint you as an additional  Director and  Member,

2.    appoint a Corporate Secretary,

3.    make a By-law relating generally to the conduct of the affairs of the company (along the lines of the model by-law as set out in the Companies Regulations, 1997 for a typical Non-profit company),

4.    make banking arrangements and

5.    transact any other business.

If you are interested I can send you a copy of the model general by-law set out in the Regulations. I expect that there may be some discussion as to classes of membership and membership fees (perhaps only nominal). Please let me know if you have any thoughts or suggestions on the way forward.

Fondest regards and best wishes,

Dennis Gurley

Anthony,

I’m sure you’ve enjoyed the opportunity as a Judge at ITLOS and that you’ve gained valuable experience in dealing with complex disputes regarding official boundaries, etc.

But does your suggested resignation before 2020 and your previous resignation as a Judge in T&T automatically debar you from once again assuming such a prominent position back home?

I should think not.

I believe you have a lot to offer our people and our country once again.

Good luck in your decision-making and here’s wishing you well in the next phase of your life.

Nigel

Gentlemen,

I sincerely appreciate the great effort to update the Abbey School, MSB, data base

Thanks very much.

My term as a Judge at the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea(ITLOS), Hamburg, Germany, ends on 30th September 2020.

I noted with sadness that several of my colleagues at Mount have passed on.

I also observe that many have retired.

I had to accept early retirement as a Judge her in T&T when I was elected in September 2003 to ITLOS.

Perhaps the time has come for me to resign from ITLOS before September 2020.

Anthony Lucky

Gentlemen, 

Here is the latest MSB DATABASE with updates.

We had Tuco - sports coach, who passed away 5th, June 2017.

And recently Ian Lezama passed away on 8th, July.

Ian came to the Mount sometime in the mid 70's and was left in 1979-80.

Here is the attached database.

I included Ian in the database as he was not recorded before.

Hello, Brian,

Did you know you can claim to have visited (more than once) the fourth least visited country in the world? 

You beat Ron, who only visited us once. 

I don’t think any other Mount Boy ever has.

Keep well.

14-04-2017 15:38:20: Ladislao: The 3pm hour is sacred, especially of Fridays, because this is the hour that Jesus died on the cross for our sins on #GoodFriday. Our Lord taught St. Faustina how to honor his hour of mercy by reciting this special prayer:

"I remind you, My daughter, that as often as you hear the clock strike the third hour, immerse yourself completely in My mercy, adoring and glorifying it; invoke its omnipotence for the whole world, and particularly for poor sinners; for at that moment mercy was opened wide for every soul. In this hour you can obtain everything for yourself and for others for the asking; it was the hour of grace for the whole world - mercy triumphed over justice." (Diary of St. Faustina, 1572)

14-04-2017 15:39:55: Mt Berment Joseph: Thanks for that: never knew/don't remember.

15-04-2017 09:51:56: M Bodington Roberto: Good morning. God Bless you all. Still alive with best wishes to all.

15-04-2017 13:42:59: Ladislao: Good day Roberto,  nice to read your first of your millions of words with the new Phone.
