Dear Daniel,
Thank you very much for getting back to me, and for giving me so many details of your life story.
It is good to hear from you.
You have called a lot of names, for some of which we have email addresses.
I thought that I might be interesting for some of your old school friends to hear from you, and therefore I am copying this message to them as well, in case they should wish to contact you.
I have no idea where Anzoategui is, and where so many of the Venezuelan Old Boys of the Mount might live in relation to your State, and because it is possible that some of them might not be too far from you, I'm copying this to them as well.
So, you might be quite surprised to hear from one or other of our Venezuelan Old Boys. Please let me know if anyone does contact you.
For the past number of years, Ladislao Kertesz (Class of 1960) has been spearheading an effort to bring together all the Old Boys of Mt. St. Benedict through the facility of email connection, and he has been very successful in sending out Circular letters from time to time, (weekly), and stimulating others to get involved.
He has been ably helped, initially, by Anthony Johnson (
For my part, I am simply trying to develop a database of all the Old Boys of the
I shall shortly be sending out another update to the database, and you shall receive it for the first time.
It's good to have you on board, and once again, thanks for contacting us.

Good night to all of you.
I had my PC turned off for many days and today I have had the great pleasure of reading many messages of old friends from Abbey School.
I hope that all of you, and your families, are finding happy, together, in very good health, working hard and fulfilling all the wishes you could have (a little difficult in our current Venezuela, by now).
I will try to make time to read and answer all the mails, on time.
Greetings.

Thank you Nigel,
I also will do the same, for any of my brothers if I am close enough, that’s why I sent around this email, because so many have already expressed this in so many ways.
Nigel, before I forget, Rico Beekhoo called me a few days ago, his phone number is Toronto 647-340-4629, he's divorced, 3 young kids, he is doing well now,
He made me laugh for an hour, some stories I can't write will have to tell you when I see yuh.
He was the first boy to wear short pants on the mount, that year is also the first year we grew our hair long, the year was 1969, that is when Rico, and his buddies Nathanial Sampath, he is in Orlando, and Gangaram Rampersad is in New Jersey.
This is all the info I have on these guys for now.
Best regards
Glen

It would be a privilege for me to be asked to help you, at any time.
God grant that I might find it always possible to come to the help of one of my brothers or sisters.
Count me in.

Have been away to
You did well in the band in
Indeed it is Par'bo beer.
The company was founded in
They were close friends to my parents and we played with their children when we were young.
But you had some adventures with girls in
Maybe it was because you played in the band, because I was not so lucky that girls would come to me and take me out.
This real estate thing is nice to do.
I work as an architect in
Been to
You know, some old farmhouse with a piece of land.
They are very cheap in

Glen, you amaze me each time, you are a great writer and I think you got high grades in poetry.
Poetry is for me something I don't understand well.
They say you have to read the letters and get the feeling, but I don't feel anything.
Much greetings,

Dear Jan,
Thank you for such an informative reply.
Here in
The young, are not too committed to any thing now, so the church will be the hardest hit.
I think the Irish, are the only ones who are exporting priest, all over the world.
However the Mount where we attended, is prime real estate, and could have the most expensive Condos on top that hill, like a place for the very wealthy, movie stars or dignitaries.
Right now, some of the rich from
A friend of mine, has an engineering firm, here in
The cayman islands are arid and dry, hardly any trees, but these people will spend a lot of money for privacy and seclusion.
My friend said they even bring down there a Ferrari, as he also owns one.
I hope the Mount will survive, however, every boarder would like to see the Mount remain the same, in the end, we are the only people who really care, about the Abbey school building, and in the end we may be its last hope, I hope it does not come to that, I do not think their are enough of us to keep it.
However there are a few of us, that could turn it into a profit, but like anything, it takes money to make money, right.?
I can't remember, the girls loved us, I was captain of the mount band, Cosmic Vibes, we played for like 30,000 people or more it was awesome man.
We were on the radio, we also played in the Hotel, we ruled man, ask Fr. Cuthbert
These girls picked us up on motorcycles, took us to the country club there, and partied, then to there houses for meals.
We wanted to live there, man, funny thing in
We would drink from these big beer bottles, I think Parbo??
Oh Jan, thanks for bringing back those memories,
Tim and many of the boys who were there, must be smiling now.
Thank you again for your time, best regards
Glen.

Glen,
These are nice pictures.
It is as if you are all ready at the Olympics.
My eldest son is going to the Olympics in
He already got his entrance ticket to the Opening Ceremony of the Olympics.
My son was among the first ten, so he got one.

This way he has a good appetite for all that food!
