Dear Friends,
I have good news for you; there is a new Website for the Monastery at Mt. St. Benedict. www.paxabbey.com, it is just starting and but it is already very informative.
For those that are finding photos in your old albums, your parents albums, please use yv1aci@yahoo.com or kaviacion@cantv.com, to send them as these two sites have ample free space.
Please remember, all photos I receive I send out after I do some photoshop adjusting; numbers names and file size. So if you have sent a photo and I have not sent it out within a month, the photo might have not reached me!!!.
Since last month Yahoo has given me 100MB of mailbox space, so there are no more bottle necks as there are in Icqmail or Hortmail.
Hurry and sent those wonderful photos you have stored away for this moment in history.
Now some local buzz:

Apreciado Luciano,
Agradecido por la atención de comunicarte conmigo después de tantos ańos. Verdaderamente no te puedo reconocer en la foto que me envías, no es por mala memoria visual ya que siempre puedo reconocer muy bien, más no los nombres después de tanto tiempo sin saber de The Abbey School, MSB.
Como te conté, estuve recientemente en The Abbey School con Oscar Cantore y José Maria Costa, con quienes estudie a partir de 1967 por un par de ańos, y después Oscar se fue a Londres a terminar sus estudios y José Maria se vino para Caracas en 1969. Desde ese entonces hemos mantenido nuestra amistad aún cuando Oscar vine en Anaco (toda la vida) y recientemente estuvimos junto visitando The Abbey School y logramos conversar con los curas que quedan allí. Fue una experiencia excepcional haber estado los tres después de más de treinta y cinco años.
Hoy día nos vemos con mucha más frecuencia, tanto así que el pasado mes de Marzo, Oscar y yo estuvimos de pesca en el Cinaruco, deporte que le encanta a Oscar y me invito a pescar pavón. Te envió una foto con los dos únicos peces que logre pescar ese día, y Oscar esta sentado en el bote.
Un saludo cordial para ti y tu familia, y me alegra que te acuerdes de esas cosas de nińos que solíamos hacer. Próximamente, cuando vengas aCaracas
Thankful you for your attention of communicating with me after so many years.
I cannot recognize to you in the photo that you send to me, not because of bad memory since always I can recognize very well, but not the names after as much time out of The Abbey School, MSB.
As I told you, I was recently in The Abbey School with Oscar Cantore and Jose Maria Costa, with whom I studied as of 1967 for a couple of years, and later Oscar went to London to finish his studies and Jose Maria came for Caracas in 1969.
From then we have maintained our friendship even though Oscar comes to Anaco (all his life) and recently we were together visiting The Abbey School and managed to talk with the priests who are there.
It was an exceptional experience to have been three of us after thirty and five years.
Nowadays we see ourselves with much frequency, as much so that past month of March, Oscar and I were of fishing in the Cinaruco, sport that enchants Oscar and I invite me to fish “Pavón”.
It sent a photo with the only two fish that manage to catch that day, and seated Oscar to you this in the boat.
A warm greeting for you and your family, and cheer me that you remember those things of kids that we used to do.
Next, when you come toCaracas

Es muy probable que no te recuerdes muy bien de mi, pero yo si recuerdo las veces que ayudaste para que nos bautizaran con mayor frecuencia y las veces que también ayudaste para que no nos siguieran jodiendo ( Cachapa - Mono Loco - el difunto R y otros )
Buscare fotos de aquella época porque se que las tengo, y luego te las envio.
Saludos y el próximo viaje paraCaracas
