Dear
Friends,
Here is
the address of the Caribbean Association in Australia.
Maybe a
source to find Mount Boys??
I
believe that Esmond Lange was its president some years ago.

Dear
Douglas,
In the
list of old boys you appear as Da Fraites.
As
surname, is it correct?
I am
missing the Form V graduating date no matter where you graduated, so that I may
place you with your classmates.
The
same with your brother Anthony.
Need
the home address for both and telephone.
Do you
correspond or keep in contact with other oldboys???
Can
you give me 51 word essay on your CV for the Circular.
I need
it to keep the Circular alive a little longer.
God
Bless
Ladislao

Hi
Ladislao,
Sorry
for the delay in getting you Tony’s e-mail address.
He
does not have his own but uses his wife Eileen’s.
Please send the bulletins to: monkseatonlibraryeileen@yahoo.co.uk
I
speak with Eileen regularly and she told me Tony is looking forward to the
bulletins.
I have
already passed on the ones you sent me.
Best
regards,
Douglas

Dear
Old Boy.
I read
your message about Joël Blandin, who was at Mount St Benedict with me too,
along with another Frenchman: Deleuze, ( I forgot his Christian name ).
I have
a picture of Blandin and myself, plus some of my cousins, taken while we were
vacationing at Chantal and Guy de Pompignan's estate, located at Mayaro.
I had
taken Blandin for some days there, since he had no family in Trinidad.
Guy de
Pompignan was the brother of my grandmother: Elizabeth Agostini, who lived in
Port of Spain, 145 Henry Street.
Could you
give me more details about his death, i.e. approximative date and
location?
Best
regards
Charles
Henri de Noirmont.
I will
try my best to find something about him..

Ladislao,
How
are you?
Just
to let you know.
My
articles are available on my professional Facebook page: The Bratt Office.
Maybe
you could let the Boys know?
Thanks,
Keep safe!

Hi
Ladislao,
I will
try and get the information on Steven Tempro and John Dulieu that you
requested.
The
only Mount old boys with who I am in contact are Jon Golding and Jean de
Meillac-both in Trinidad.
I
believe Jon has been in contact.
Jean
works for Terra Caribbean in Trinidad.
I hope
that helps.
Will get
back to you on the others.
Happy
Easter.

Dear
Peter,
Thank
you for your report and your details.
I shall
place it in my archives.
Are
you in contact with other old boys?
If so
please tell me their names so that I may include them also.
Since
you are in Barbados please give my regards to Steven Tempro, owner of Smugglers
Cove, if possible take a photo or two of them and the hotel. I want to include
my personal friend in the circular.
Also
if you have a little time to spare, contact Helen Air, Capt. John Dulieu, owner
of the airline, who is also an Old Boy from the Mount,
Again
I have no information of him or photo.
Maybe
he would like to advertise his airline.
I know
that I am asking you a big favour but the circulars must keep on for a few
issues again.
Without
articles I am dead.
God
Bless
Ladislao

Hi
Ladislao,
My
name is Peter Boos, a first cousin of Nigel.
I live
in Barbados and work for Ernst & Young.
I
married Jan Hunte, a Barbadian, in 1969 and we have two children and a 2 year old
grandson.
I was
born on 29 April 1945.
Thanks
for including me on the distribution list of your very impressive circulars on
Mount, of which I am of course an old boy.
The
picture of the class of 1958 is a copy of one that I also have and I am #3 in the
back row.
I
believe Rolph Hive is #4 to the right of me.
It
cannot however be the class of 1958 as I left Trinidad in 1957 to go to school
in England.
I
believe this would have to be 1955 or 1956 as after the Mount I went to CIC for
9 months before leaving for England.
I hope
that helps.
Congratulations
on the excellent work you are doing.
Peter

Hi Ladislao,
I was born 29 April 1945.
My Dad wanted me to "succeed" and tried hard to make it
happen!
His philosophy was based on the "tough love" model.
I was at MSB for a relatively short time-no more than 2 years.
I left around 1955,went to St. Mary's College for a year then
went to the Oratory School, a Catholic Public in England from 1957.
Several other boys from Trinidad went there too including Bernard
Bermudez, Gordon Siegert, Richard Pierre, Aelred and Stephen Plimmer.
I graduated from the Oratory in 1963 and stayed on in London to
study to be a Chartered Accountant, which I achieved in 1968.
I returned to Trinidad in 1969 when I married my Barbadian wife,
Jan.
Left Trinidad in 1970 to live in Barbados.
Have resided here since but visit Trinidad regularly. Have 2
children, Lara and Christian and a grandson, Luke who is 2.
Today I am Executive Chairman of Ernst & Young Caribbean.
My telephone number is 246-435-6733 at home.
My address is Hillcrest, Golf Club Road, Christ Church, Barbados.
Will try and send a picture.
Please remind me who you wanted me to contact.
From MSB I remember Richard and Randall Galt, Roger Henderson,
Michael Herrera, Michael Howard (great sprinter), Jean de Meillac.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes,
Peter

Dear Peter,
I have made the change to Accountant, thank you.
Please send me corrections when needed.
I even took the not msb line note off. This was Nigel’s input a
year ago.
Now that we are correcting, please tell me if you did or would
have graduated in 1955? as the list says.
Do you have any telephone number?
Address?
A photo or two?
Did you contact those that I wrote you last?
God Bless
Ladislao

Hi
Ladislao,
Please
note that I am a Chartered Accountant, not an Architect.
I had
sent you a message some time ago.
Did
you receive it?
Congratulations
on the outstanding job you are doing for the old boys of Mount.
Peter
-----------------------------------------------.
I had
a really great visit here at the Mount and had the privilege of meeting Fr.
Cuthbert in the Pax Yogurt factory with its manager/Director Abbey School
Alumnus, Maxime De Comarmond and I gave him your kind regards.
He
beamed from ear to ear (really prominent ears).
Today
is the Feast of Sts. Maurus and Placid, the names also given to Frs. Maurus
Maingot and Placid Ganteaume, the first local vocations to the Monastery in
Trinidad.
Today
is also the 55th Anniversary of Abbot Hildebrand's Monastic Profession and the
17th year since Bro. Ian St. Louis died.
Let's
pray for many Caribbean vocations to the monastic way of life; the life of the
enclosed, solitary life that influenced our own lives in the Abbey School and
through the kindly, paternal ways of our former teachers.
