Dear Ladislao and Family,
We wish you and your entire family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2010 with good health and lots of success in all your endeavours.
Thanks again for your dedicated efforts to keep the MSB circulars flowing;
it is always good to hear something about the companions of those happy days and to re-establish contacts which had been interrupted for a long time.
As you’ve probably heard, we’ve had a terribly tragic year as our daughter passed away unexpectedly just after having given birth to her second child.
Hoping to see you again next year around here in Valencia
Best regards
Mary Carmen and Csaba

Hi "Bro!"
Glen, Your remarks regarding the contributions of the likes of Ladislao [ and as I mentioned in the "Subject" bar: “Acknowledging the 'Caring' contributions of a select few"], was right on the money.
Ladislao (and the other 'few') I believe really care.
These guys make many sacrifices in - I am sure - in many different ways, AND, don't forget, as they do that which they do so very selflessly, so do their families...
Those guys - I am sure you know better than me who they all are - really deserve the praise and acknowledgement for those loving/caring acts.
The Old Boys MSB Circular, to which many make contributions of their time, is another great example, and I thank them ALL very much for this. You will never know how much I look forward to its publications.
It is like the tie that has the capability of binding us all together, and the biggest contribution we can all make, is by sending in our letters and pictures and all the things that are happening in our lives, and especially not to be afraid to share their hardships / illnesses / stresses along with all the good things.
As it is in any LARGE Family - and this "Family of Brothers" is an especially large one - we would surely like to have an opportunity to reach out with caring words or a strong hand to lift you up off the ground, help you to walk upright again with pride in your heart, knowing that others really do care/give a damn! ...But, we can’t get to you - reach out to you, if we are not aware.
I do not expect anyone nor everybody to agree with my way of thinking, but I can't be that far off the mark ...not if you really care....
I have always believed the word "Love" is best described when and executed through the act of "caring" or "TO CARE FOR". I believe that the word 'Love' is very, very often used incorrectly. I am not pointing to anyone in particular, this is not an accusation, it is just 'my' interpretation of a very simple but very powerful word, because I believe it is all to often used in the wrong context and often not intended as it should be truly representative of what to "LOVE" really means.
So, it is 'my' humble opinion, that when you love someone, "You Care for them" and when you truly 'Care' for someone there is very little that you would not do or sacrifice for the happiness of that 'one', or person.
When 'I say: " I Love You, I am saying I care about you and truly will do whatever I am able to, in order that I can contribute to that person/individuals life/happiness.... (A lot of words,Eh?)
"Merry Christmas"
Sincerely, Cornel ...

Merry Christmas . . .
As we share this time of Peace, Joy, Goodwill and Happiness, let is remember whose birthday we really celebrate, Jesus, and what he represents.
Spare a Prayer, or more if you can, for those who by circumstance, cannot celebrate. Be that circumstance family matters, financial difficulties, war, bereavement etc.
Let that Light, born over 2000 years ago be our guiding star and banish the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse out of out hearts and minds.
Let that Light, born over 2000 years ago shine in our thoughts and actions the year through.
Merry Christmas . . . .
God’s Blessings . . . .
