My
cell 902-237-7139 My address 237 Duncan's Cove Road.
Duncan's Cove NS B3V 1K4 Canada.
You can use my name and address, as a contact or place to stay in
Canada, if you want.
My Lady Marian brother works out at the airport here in Halifax,
he does lots with the changes etc.
I know you are also involved in airport lighting?
Anyhow, to write is hard, but it will come to me, Sir Jon was a
good man, I know he was hard nose, sorry he and Don got religion between their
friendships.
Dr. Bratt is a good writer also, he writes in the newspaper in
Trinidad.
Sir George, is really keeping a lot going, with Sir Kazim in the
hospital still waiting for tests, I pray for him..
Well Columbia is now doing good business with Canada so if you
have any ideas, I will try my best to accommodate, from this end.
I am going to Suriname & maybe Curacao when I am in Trinidad
to see family.
How do you go to Margarita & how much it cost, as we can meet
in there also.
I hope you and your family are in good health.
Do you know any one selling in Margarita, any deals, once I saw a
motel called the The Castle, I wanted to buy it ha ha
Cheers so good to hear from you, but one must be careful, so many
back stabbers out there also.
Cheers & muchas gracias.
I was going to say something about Joe B. but it´s not important
ha! ha!
Adios
Glen.

Hi
Gillian,
Glad that you both enjoy the circulars.
I'll copy this to Ladislao so he can know his efforts are
appreciated.
It is just a one day law conference that takes us to the
Bahamas.
Typically for lawyers there will be a banquet at the end of it at
which much port wine will flow.
We then stay on for another day to celebrate Maggie's 70th
birthday.
Keep well.
Don

Thanks
for your updates.
Unfortunately, between Leary’s memory loss and the fact
that at 83 he is older than most of the people written about, he does not know
many of them but I always make sure he reads the circulars just in case and I
enjoy reading them too.
Hope you have a wonderful stay in the Bahamas – we never made it
to that part of the world.
Hope your situation at home is pretty much back to normal.

We shall be in the Bahamas until next Wednesday attending a law conference, so

Everybody
has their part to play in running a country to keep it clean and beautiful,
safe and economically sound.
The government, the security forces, the banks, the hospitals,
the corporations and all stake holders including the citizens themselves.
So when you come to collect grass and other things when we were
told to leave it out and we will collect it every other Thursday.
Then one does not expect to come outside and meet this mess that
you left and again it's as they say.
Why we pay taxes or does that only work in the US of A.
But I will do my part as a citizen of the country and will tidy
up after you.
Very very poor.

GABRIEL
JOSEPH BAPTISTE - RIP GABRIEL JOSEPH BAPTISTE JR., 64 of Ogallala, NE, passed
away Wednesday, March 29, 2017 at Great Plains Health in North Platte, NE.
Gabe was born in New Brunswick, New Jersey on October 16, 1952 to
Gabriel Joseph and Julia Rose (Chesney) Baptiste.
At age 5, he and his family moved to Venezuela where his passion
for music and electronics were soon evident.
There was no musical instrument he couldn't master (especially
air-guitar, knee-drum and dashboard keyboard).
He attended The Abbey School in Tunapuna, Trinidad.
He earned his business degree from Benedictine College in
Atchison Kansas, thus starting his life-long love of the mid-west.
He became Program Director for KIBZ The Blaze and loved being on
the radio.
His abilities to increase ratings and listenership were proven in
multiple markets.
This expertise, coupled with his bi-lingual abilities, opened the
door to him launching South American television markets including MTV Latino
and Telemundo and pioneering innovative technologies while in South Florida.

Thank
you, Merlene, for the news of Bro Vincent.
He and Fr Augustine are the sole survivors of our early teachers
and guardians of the 1950s, which adds to the affection with which he is
remembered.
Say hello for me
Sincerely,
Don

earlier than anticipated. Thank you to the Jamaican and Canadian linesmen
who came to our assistance.

A melancholy bike
trip to our school....if we were to take it today....lots has changed since my
last visit in 1968
Tears of
Joy, thank you so much, it’s been so long, I just cried man, you hit me hard
with this one, I was not expecting it. A big thanks to the bike rider?
George Mickiewicz It is emotional indeed...wish that he had
stopped along way and taken shots of the pool, field, seminary, guest house,
ridden around the school and the refractory, etc......noticed that the
basketball hoop is still up....I spent hours and hours shooting baskets and
playing in games
Salvador Coscarart I
thought he was going to white stones, jejejejejejej.
Salvador Coscarart I enjoyed this video. it was nervous feeling
for the way he was riding. jejejejej am more cautions now a days as I still
ride my bike a triumph Bonneville America easy rider. jejejejej
Salvador Coscarart Thank you George for sharing.
Mark Anthony Ali thank
you much for sharing
Joseph Habib I
remember the time the pine trees were planted. We were on a hike after school
and some people were up there planting these little trees all over the place.
That steel tower was not ever there. Last time I was up there was in 1979-80.
That place has changed a lot. Love it.
Conrad Boney So
true guys, a lot have changed, but still the mount. Visit any time.
