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?

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)

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 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.

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.
