Dear Friends,

Gentlemen,
PLEASE NOTE: The last meeting on 14th June was attended by Joe and myself only, so nothing was discussed. Also, I had very little feedback either by phone or email about who could or could not make it; that contact would have helped.
So, we try again:
A committee meeting is proposed for 7.30pm Sunday July 12th in the Members lounge at the Queens Park Cricket Club,
The Agenda is
1. To discuss the Association name,
2. To Discuss matters arising from Ladislao's recent visit, incuding Association publicity etc.
3. Any other matters.
Item One is occasioned by difficulties in obtaining permission to use '
When you get there call me on 345 7987 so I can direct you if necessary.
I would appreciate a response so I know who will be there (or not).
As I did last time, I am copying interested non committee Old Boys.
See you there this time,
Chris.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------.
Here I am including a mix of emails, and two class photos.
Can you help with them???

Hi Ladislao,
Yes, I am Abbey Alumni, as are four of my brothers before me, Keith (Bunny), Christopher, Allan and Dave.
I was at Abbey from 1968 (in the then newly formed Prep class) until form 5.
You will get my e-mail address from this transmission.
I have been chatting with Paul Quesnel and he thinks that the Alumni association needs support.
If we can harness the collective talents of the old boys, we are indeed a force.
Years ago, I met a gentleman in
He also told us that the Abbey Alumni in

Well thank you, Wayne,
The things, we say on this site, are unique, if you were not there, then its all nonsense.
Its so nice, to be understood, as sometimes our feelings are so hard to express, but I tried, and look at who we brought home, a true sailor, a brother, Mr. Wayne Brown, from 1955-1960.
Welcome home, and we must hear, of some of your journeys man.
I hope you don't mind?? As we are a private club, members only, I will share this little story with all my other brothers.
Also some of these brothers will know you, as some are from your time, Cheers, keep on sailing into this site any time, my brother.
Thanking you for your kind words,
Best regards
Glen McKoy.

Glen
we've never met (I was at the Mount before you); but as someone who's owned sailboats for most of my life, and have written maybe a dozen articles for the US yachting magazine Cruising World,
I have to tell you that never once would I have thought of yr simile for sailing downwind in strong wind and big seas--"like running down from White Stones and yuh late for Showers at Six"--but I know exactly what you meant.
Nice one!

On further reflection, I think these are two classes.
The boys behind in long pants are two or three years older than the small boys in front in short pants.
The small boys I believe are in Form 1.
I recognise the photo, but do not remember why it was taken.

Hi Howard,
I really did my O-Levels in 1963.
However, I did not know what I wanted to do, I had failed mathematics, and I thought I should re-do the O-Levels.
As it was, I failed maths again, and did not improve the others significantly.
So, I really think of myself as graduating in 1963.
What year do you think the photo was taken?
Don

Will try and add names to faces over the weekend.
