Hi, Dr Laquis,
Wonderful photo,
How good to hear news of Mr Yip Chuck’s progeny.  I remember him well, standing outside of the class waiting to enter at the bell, his head always surrounded by a cloud of cigarette smoke. 
I had no idea he had a family, as I was very young at the time.
If you see her again, please let her know that in the view of his students, her father was a brilliant man.
Sincerely,
Don

Pud,
How nice of you to think of me, in connection with Mr. Yip Chuck’s daughter. It’s a small, small world, innit? 
Of course I’ll send this off to the guys whose email addresses I still have, and who might remember the old man.
Thanks very much for your kind gesture. Regards to you and your family.
Nigel

Hey guys,
Pud has asked me to send this picture of himself with Mr. Anthony Yip Chuck’s daughter, who he met recently. You might remember Mr. Yip Chuck as our Science Teacher at MSB.
Best wishes.
Nigel

Hi Nigel,
Hope all is well with you and your family.
I had a meeting today with the GM of investments and services of Republic Bank.
During the meeting I asked her if she knew a Mr. Yip chuck who taught at MSB.
It, in fact, was her father-first name Anthony, taught the science subjects
Died in 1986 at age 60 of lung cancer (he smoked).
I found a photo of him with some of the boys and she confirmed that he was indeed the same person.
You may circulate if you wish.
Regards,
Pud.

Hello Ladislao,
First of all thanks a lot for having sent me various "Mount" circulars.
I've enjoyed reading every one of them and now I would like to participate more actively in the MSB circular mailing.
If you wish I can also send you in the near future a short rundown of my activities since I left Mount (1957) and since I left Caracas (1975). (I am eagerly awaiting your rundowns).
I have had, of course, contact to various Mount boys during all these years, and as I had been flying over regularly to Caracas till the year 2000 (when my mother died).
I've had the luck to be able to meet personally many of my old and closest friends as Urbano de Fedak, Azier Atela , Isaias Farcheg, Ricardo Figuera, Roberto Lipavsky, Pedro Castro etc.
Now that I haven't been travelling to Venezuela for a couple of years, this new communication method is in a way an excellent substitute to keep in touch with the old gang.
Besides that, now I'll have more time available for personal pleasures of this kind, first of all because my children have now become independent (my daughter Christine, 25 got married in June and my oldest son Gabor, 31 has set up his own company in Budapest and my youngest son Peter, 29 graduated from the University of Heidelberg.
Secondly, I'll be retiring at the end of May 2003 and right after we'll be moving to Spain, (next to Valencia) where we had bought an apartment some years ago.
I am closely following with anxiety the daily happenings of Venezuela and am very worried about what the future will bring.
Over here it's no cake walk either but nothing comparable to what you're having over there.
I would like to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year and please count on me for the future.
If you have any kind of "collective e-mail address list" of the Mount boys I'll be much obliged if you send it to me.
Un abrazo
Csaba

Ladislao,
I live in the US...Houston, TX.
I visited Trinidad twice in the last year since my mother is still there and was actually thinking of going back this summer...if I do I'll email and let you know if I can make it in August.
 However, if you ever need to contact me by phone when/if you're in the US, my cell is the best way to get in touch......713-417-2496....I'm attaching my business card with all my contact info as well.
All the very best,
Howard.

Small world ... I played junior international at the Altamira Tennis Club....Francois Savy was the coaching pro at the time...he had two daughters and a son called Yvon? ....was a lot of fun...also I remember a girlfriend called Irene Lucas...her father was an industrialist...I think he owned a shoe factory as well......well...we've got to meet sometime soon...
I'm a VP with a Taiwan company called Liteon.
