Carnival 1957 Versus 2017

ANTONI MICKIEWICZ <amickiew@att.net>

Jul 18 at 11:13 AM

Trinidad Carnival - What a difference 60 years make….1957 version that I attended in my second year at MSB versus the 2017 version.

By the way…did not see you in the 2017 carnival video….suspect that it might be different for your sons, and/or daughters and/or grands

REFLECTION: BORING THEN.......SUPER EXCITING NOW.......WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Subject: Abbey School old pictures.

Allo Ladislao,

Thank you very much for your e-mail and very happy new year to you and your family.

As I mention to you earlier on, I left Mount in 1966 and came to Montreal since.

I am working for Chubb Sécurity, a worldwide security company.

I started in 1967 and now I am working as a sales representative.

I was born in Martinique in 1948, came to the Mount from 1960 to 1966 and then left to Montreal.

My nick name at the Mount was "Pin head"; you will see me on the class picture, standing in the middle row, completely on the left side right under the open window.

On the tennis picture, I am sitting on ?????

I don't remember his name????? shoulders, front row.

On the scout band I am playing the drum, 2nd row left.

I really like looking at this old pictures, I hope you can get a lot more.

I would really enjoy getting pictures between 1960 to 1966, my good time at the Mount.

Thank you Ladislao and once more "Happy new Year".

Patrick Devaux, (Pin Head).

(The rest of the photos shall be sent in the next circular)

Allo Laszlo,

My name is Patrick, most of you must know me as "PINHEAD", I was at the Mount from 1962 to 1966 and then left to Montreal.

I have been living here since and I enjoy it very much.

I am happy married with three children.

I am working for a security company since 1967, I am a sales representative selling security alarm equipments, video systems and access control.

I was very happy looking at all this nice pictures taking at the Mount, what a souvenir.

In the next few days I will e-mail you a picture of myself "Before" and "Now" so some of you will remember who I am.

Thank you for a job well done,

Dear Ladislao,

Many thanks for your Christmas greeting to my family and I, we send you and yours a belated Merry Christmas and very happy and prosperous New Year.

I thank you for all your efforts with the newsletter and all the wonderful pics that we all enjoy so much.

It is so wonderful to hear about all the guys that I went to school with & shared such wonderful years growing up,.

I read the circulars and when I come across a name that I remember I get such a great feeling a feeling that is difficult to explain, only to say it feels great, especially to hear about how well their lives have turned out and how proud they are of their families.

I live in Orlando, Florida,

I am married to Margaret nee: Fitzwilliam daughter of Peter & the late Evelyn all from Trinidad.

We will be married for 20 years next month.

We have two boys Christian 14yrs & Jonathan 10.

Margaret is a paralegal for a large legal firm here in Orlando.

I have my own Business for the pass 15years,

A landscape company we do design and installation work for landscaping & Irrigation, as well as landscape lighting.

Christian and Jonathan are in Catholic School and doing very well.

I will be in touch with you soon.

I spoke to Michael Darwent, who I got to find out is one of the first students at mount one of our older old boys.

Wishing all the old Boys and especially old friends a very happy New Year.

Richard Anderson

Seheult, Mac –

My wife (Cathy) and I live in Houston where I am employed as Manager of Technology Support for Kelco Oil Field Group.

We have six kids between us, three on either side from previous marriages, and they are all out of the house..Yes!!

All but two are married; two boys from my side of the team, and we have four grad-kids (two and two), however I refuse to be called "Granddad"..

I am not THAT old. Our hobbies are travel, golf and boating.

We spend weekends on our boat in the Galveston area where we are building our retirement home although we do not plan nor can we afford to retire now.

It would be great to see the old boys from MSB.

Look me up in the Houston phone book if you are passing through.
