Hi Ladislao,
Hope all is well with you!
I remember in 1956 during the general elections, for Bernard
asking us to pray that the PNM would not win.
So much for that!

Point Form
Went to MSB between 1955 to 1961.
Boarded from 1955 to 1957 then dayboy to 1961.
Didn't like Bobo, he leaned back too much, never stood up
straight.
Had arrangement with Mr. De Mathis French teacher he walked in
the front door and I walked out the back door, end of French for me.
Blew up Miss's Marcus's lab, end of chemistry for me
Best class was science with VOOSH best teacher.
Did like to hear Fr. Augustine's tales of when he was a boy in
Holland during the war.
Somebody threw a spit ball at me from far side of class on second
floor, I ducked it ended up in the hall and I jumped out to get it to throw
back and found myself in front of the Abbott.
Nice man though, he just smiled and that was all.
Left in 1961 in form IV didn't graduate.
Got job with Varig Airlines at Piarco as ticket agent.
Varig closed POS and went to Gordon Grant with Air Canada and
KLM.
(Aviation family Grandfather worked for BWIA, Father and Uncle
worked for Pan Am)
Went to Canada in 1965 to live in St. Catharines.
Got married two years later to the French Canadian girl next door
in 1967 in St. Catharines.
Three kids now seven grand kids.
Worked in St. Catharines in the lab of a paper mill, then GM as
assembler.
Laid off in 1970.
Went back to school in 1970 to Centennial College in Toronto
graduated as Aircraft Maintenance Technician.
Got Canadian licensed in 1973.
Moved up the ladder from Apprentice AME to Manager of
Maintenance, held various positions as Director of Maintenance and V.P.
Maintenance.
Retired 2013 now reports to wife and do whatever she tells me.
Now lives in Cambridge, Ontario.
Life is good.
Could always be worse.

Ladislao,
I read your email below re the situation in Venezuela.
I have always had an interest in Venezuela as I was born in
Trinidad but my mother’s father and his family came to Trinidad from Ciudad
Bolivar.
It is indeed very sad to see what that beautiful country has come
too.
But with God’s intervention she will rise again.
May the Lord keep you and your family safe during these difficult
times.
Regards
Peter

Glen,
Regarding the email from Philip Clegg he states that I went to
MSB in 1947 well that is incorrect
I arrived on the 22nd of April 1945 and left on 12th Dec 1949
five wonderful years

Hi good morning, Iftica,
Here is one of the newer ones for you to enjoy.
Can you give me a few lines on Allan??
I believe you told me that he is Barbados.
Do you have his phone number or email?
God bless

Dear Sirs,
I am contacting you for news on Malcolm Boyack, who is a member
of your fishing group.
I have lost contact with him thru the years and would like to ask
you to remit this to him.
The last email has been lmboyack@gmail.com, and have been told
that he had a health issue.
God bless

I have an email address for Malcolm –Imboyack@gmail.com.
Malcolm had a stroke a while back but
believe he is recovering well.
Living in Perth makes it difficult to have
up-to-date on Malcolm but when I last heard that was the situation.
Nice to hear from you and always enjoy the
blogs and newsletters.

Hi,
Yes he is a member of the association, and
that is the only email address I have for him.
I’ve passed this message onto to someone who
can contact him directly.
If I do get another email address for him I
will pass it on to you.
Regards,
Monique

Thank you very much
Pete
Since you seem in the
writing mood, please give a two liner on the Mount boys that you have met???
I ask this because
we have lost lots of Oldboys and I need a lead as to their whereabouts and
other pertinent information for me to find them.
I would like to keep
the Circular going for maybe another year.
I am glad that you
have done well and your family is getting larger.
God bless
Ladislao

that you would like to include.
