Dear Glen(G#2) & fellow musicians.
Welcome back to the home front.
Well I think you deserve a little rest.
Anyhow, seeing how you're just getting back.
Update, things are on hold, anyhow, as CheChe , said you guys have to get together and jam, I understand that personal thing as a musician.
Cafe Europa , sounds great.
Yeah, you guys, already, have a lot on your plate, with the plaque etc. and the Kitty fund also in progress.
So be careful , two of you, on how much more, you take on.
I only expect to hear about the musical reunion from you guys, depending on where we want to take this.
The rest of the work load will have to be picked up by other members, in the area, with arrangements, or in cooperation with you guys.
I understand, that there are a lot of brothers who want to party.
Like guys from
We will have to get the word out, that the band, is still in rehearsal.
Right ? About the band.
When you guys get together, a common song list would be nice.
So I know what stuff to refresh up on.
Mr. Norman Smith, a singer you say, excellent, and guitar player also.
Well we have to get the singer song list, because, that is what the singer sings. cool.
Also if David is coming, a guy with CDs and a songwriter too, many Calypso/soca artists.
I'll say no more, Sounds you've heard, and don't even know, this is the guy who wrote them.
His music is already a tribute to what the music Calypso was, and will be classics in time.
I heard ,
Also a songwriter, keyboard player, with 3 or 4 of his original songs played in many countries.
Brothers , from what I see, we have , volumes of music, to share with each other.
Who knows, where this can go ? lets take it slow, lets get the tempo.
Don't worry, we will have this band together, by the time we all retire.
Best Regards and Thanking you all, for you time, (G#1)

Hello
Congratulations, on your kids weddings Man!
This is great, you have been blessed, my friend, and you certainly deserve every bit of the best parties, Jesus, ever enjoyed , the weddings, eat well, drink lots of wine and dance like you never danced before ,and be merry it also your night my friend.
I saw your photos of the rig, I was in awe, what a job, and I guess, you also have to love it, to do it.
My mother's father and my mother's brother, were drillers with Texaco in
I just got back this morning, from the Dominican Republic, had a great trip, oh, so many well shaped and naturally, beautiful women there, its just ah sin, not good for my heart.
Man life is just to sweet, when ,you're with someone you love.
My wife, Pam.
We did not take no kids, this time, but somehow, two of the my wife's , girl also friends, also came down, we had fun, I was one of the top three winners, at chess on the resort.
I was excited like a kid of course, because I did not play for years, I guess, its like riding a bike, eh ?(that's what, she said ha! ha!)
Well, the musicians are coming forth, and man, the feed back looks good.
I am back now, and will be in contact, with G#2 and CheChe , on how we will approach this, really sound challenge, we have an impressive line up, the musicians list is rapidly growing.
We might be able to throw, a Grand Gala, sometime in the future, seeing how, our Florida Jam Sessions go.
As you know, I am only, one of the dreamers, on the Committee, and where ever, a great reunion takes place, we, the House Band, might be there,
But for now, we cannot put the cart, in front of the horse, we do have, one or two projects, which the committee, is still working on, and will be presenting to members very soon, by, I think, ex-president and committee member(the list maker) Mr. Nigel Boos.
After these, present issues, are out of the way, well, these are some of the projects, we looking at ,for our future agendas.
Best Regards, to all my Brothers,
Glen McKoy / Parrot troop/proud member since 1968-2008/

Hi Ladislao,
Your newsletters are always read with much interest and very fond memories of MSB, although you might not personally think so for lack for my feed back..... sorry.
Your efforts over the years are very much appreciated by me and I am sure lots of other MSB boys, who keep popping up every so often in your circulars .... to be honest I do not know how you do it and who would ever replace you.
God Bless you Ladislao and I wish I could meet up one day in person with you and all my class mates.
I am very sure the "Unknown" picture taken by the very busy Robert Boddington, God bless him for all the photos he took, is an American boy from "El Tigre" [where his father worked] called Ricky Chacon.
I have often tried to get in touch with him, but to no avail.
The last I heard was that he was married in the
Ricky was in class 1957 but I can not remember if he finished with the rest of us in The Class of 1958.
To be honest I do not think so.
Maybe Ricardo, Attila, Urbano, Farchez, Luciano, etc may recall.
With thanks once again,
Tim Mew.
