Hola,

I thought I might try to add, where class members from 1958, are now living as an extra. Again, maybe some other guys may be able to update and be more accurate.

Ladislao,

Working on the class of 1958 photo for names, as asked by you.

[In the pictures below]

I am very sure #2 is Norman Gabriel from Trinidad.

No 3 is Fr. Ildephonse [?][scout master ] and the guy with no number looking away, maybe Ishias Farchez.

I do not recognize/remember any others.

The single photo looks like myself, but the memory dims!! Check the class photo and see if you agree.

From your circular 131, Ricardo Figuera in Caracas got in touch with me and vice versa, so a great surprise.

Over the coming months I will be able to reach other members of class 1958, including Maroth de Marothy, who I notice is the new Webmaster and about to retire.

Many thanks,
Tim Mew [Australia ]

Hi Ladislao,
If you find any mistakes or have new info on the list for Class 1958, I would be glad to hear from you.
I am pleased to be of some assistance to you.
I am sorry, I can not help with William as I have not had any contact for years, but he was two years ahead of me, so should be in Class 1956.
Ricardo Figuera has been in touch with me, since I made contact with your newsletter and I hope to reach many more classmates with info from him soon.
Stay well,
Tim

PS: Please send a picture of you & family if you can, as I am going to try to put together a Folder / CD with photos of Abbey Students for my family.

Here is a copy of a letter from Fr. Cuthbert, written in 1982:

News are news.

Thank a lot for the Scouters.

How is your home pack doing?

Summer almost there so time for camp and hike.

The Mount stayed inside for the press was on strike and the printer (Fr. Augustine) had a troublesome stomach.

Here the reason for two edition (you see how we can produce if necessary!) and no. 45 and 46 are under the scrutinizing eyes of the editor.

Fr. Bernard is in Holland and seems to do quite well. He even tries to write his address.

Fr. Adelbert is mostly with the archbishop solving (or dissolving or absolving) marriages, any problems don't see him.

Fr. Ildephons had an accident on his bike last month, he looked like one from a Dracula film, but he is again O.K.

He does not know what happened, may be he blacked out, if so he really escaped serious injuries.

The Old boys (and the not so old boys) are still in the coma. All my efforts to get some life in them are so far in vain.

Maybe I have to use some RNG equipment, have to see the branch manager.

This is exam times so you can well imagine the atmosphere, like worked-out oil on a hot plate.

Bernard Lange is preparing the graduation at Holiday Inn!

Next month our bakery will be modernized. The old oven of St. Aubles and the American Base are going on pension: They use too much current(s) in relation to their production. Besides TnTEC provides intermittent shocks (A.C.). We will try gas (join the oil product users).

Chambers is doing well, he is one of the few not on work to earn (old name is: go-slow in Latin, festina lente!.

As a good P.L. (Papa leader) and thank God the choir can use you (better something, than nothing).

Keep well, kind regard and God blessing all.

Fr. Cuthbert

From your response, I believe that there should be a REWARD applied for the information, just like in the Old Wild West. And above all, we hope that the information would be positive, such as Live and Well!!!!.
I believe that I have finally Phillip Nassief but awaiting confirmation.
God Bless
