Hi Ladislao,
I am Geoffrey Xavier Class of 1958 No 16 in Photo.
Thanks for getting in touch with me. I never knew such an ALUMNI existed.
Congratulations and thanks for all the good work you have put into this.
I am now visiting the numerous circulars and enjoying them tremendously.
I have a photo of the Class of 1958 and could now put names to the familiar faces I see.
Sorry for not being able to help you with the 1980's ALUMNI.
This is way after my time at the Abbey.
You can contact me at E-mail address geoffxavier@hotmail.com
Thanks once again.

Attila,
I can't believe you missed the scene with the couple,
I thought you would be the one to see it first,
knowing the Romeo/ Mr Lover you were in your days.
Ha! Ha! G#1

Attila,
If I recall correctly Fofeo, Jose Maria Costa, the Malave’s were there, that day there was beside our group there was another one of older boys also doing their thing in the river
I recall we discovered or caught in the act a couple making love on top of a rock by the river and at that time we all converted in RAMBO to hide and watch the show!!!!
After a while we broke up the encounter by showing ourselves and the guy got so upset (I do not know why) that he started throwing rocks at us and we all simultaneously replied back and repelled the attack,
At that moment we heard the screams and alarm voices about what was happening further down the river with the little girl and we all ran there.
I remember I was one of the guys that went to get help,
there was a Hospital near by to threat TB and when we requested the help they told us the driver for the ambulance was not there and beside they had no Oxygen available to take,
imagine a TB Hospital without Oxygen
I wonder what they did with their patients, from there we called the Fire Dept. and it took them over an hour to get there and assist us.
But it is true the face Cutty put when we arrived in the Paddy waggon is still fresh in my mind.
Saludos
Oscar

Matias, my dear friend,
How are you? It's so good to know that I have indeed managed to contact you.
I hope all is well with you and that you're safe and in good health, wherever you are.
Thanks for the notes on the boomerang story.
I'm happy to know that someone exists "out there" to validate what I'd said.
Sometimes I get the impression that folks think I'm making up these stories, so once more, thank you.
Could I trouble you, perhaps, to ask you to share a paragraph with me to let me know what you've spent the last 40 years doing?
Whatever you say will be shared with Ladislao, so watch it.....!
Anyway, thanks for getting in touch. Do keep it up.
Please confirm for me the email address for Urbano as well.
Happy New Year.
Nigel P. Boos

Good afternoon Nigel,
!. Your English (last email) is really impressive.
Now I know why my final English grade at MSB was so miserable.
Now to business:
Your Boomerang story was not 100% correct.
It’s true, Richard Galt was our champion and therefore had the honor to throw the Boomerang, which flew straight into into on of the pillars.
The Boomerang was from a Doctor ,whose son was a day student at MSB.
The poor guy mentioned it in one of our classes, while Father Bush talked about the flying technique of the Boomerang.
Best regards.
Matias

To whom it may concern.
In 1952 in form 5 big boys were allowed to smoke.
There was a pool table in the big boys rec room.
However father Ildephons liked to play pool and was often in the room so many of the boys stop going to the room.
Note that was in 1952
"bandit"

I am sorry to say that it is a bit late to send out invitations for those of us in foreign lands.
As much as I would love to attend, as I did last reunion, I cannot at this time fit it into my schedule.
Hopefully, the next reunion (2008?), will be scheduled with us in mind.
Greetings to all alumni, especially classes of ’58, ’59, and ‘60’.

Good to hear fo you too.
It´s nice to read or hear that some old friends form Mount are still alive.
First I most apologise for not having reply to you earlier, but I was on some days off.
I work for a Gas compression company (
They have other offices around the world.
Their biggest operation facility is in
Glen and myself are always in contact thru e-mail.
Two years ago I did see Villafana, he is running his father´s business.
But it was Carnival season so it was not easy to get in touch with any one.
This year I went back during Carnival and made it back to Mount.
Father Cuthbert showed me the new business they have going on with Yogurt fabrication and sales in
The Garners Chousing (Alloy and Junior Asam).
I also understand that Kelven Khan and Kamal khan are also in
I have heard that an old friend Adolfo Aumaitre (Tucupita) is a dentist, was in Bolivar but moved to his native home Tucupita, I´m trying to reach him.
Have you heard from Salvador Coscarart and his brother Pedro???
Well I see what I can do in order to get more info. about some of the old friends.
God bless you and take care of your self.
Regards
Edgar
