Hi glen,
Vitalis
Gomes, was a border in my days
The poor
fellow studied and studied like crazy but could not retain what he studied - hence
he failed to pass Senior Cambridge exams twice –
Passed on
the third try went on to study in England became a doctor there practiced in
England and is now retired in St. Catherine in Canada.
By the
way, Michael Darwent died about 6 months ago.
The old
boys are dying off- I go be the only left to bury their ass.
"Bandit"

Dear Glen,
I am
sending five emails to you so that you may use your detective powers to good
use.
The emails
of these oldboys have been lost to the circular list, as the email address does
not work.
I sent
you all the info that I have, missing fingerprints, sending it to you latter.
Since I
have not filed the attachment please give me an early answer after you make the
five phone calls.
I know
that I can count on you
Ladislao

My Dear
Sir Trevor,
Thank you
very much for this information.
This
should help Sir Laz. in his investigation, on these two brothers.
I believe
this is the brother Arthur Knaggs spoke about to me, a few years ago, but he
was ill then.
I believe
he also was the 1st. boy scout on the mount?
Best
regards, have a good day my friend,
Cheers,
Glen.

As you might have noticed,
sometimes I am pretty well outdated as to publishing resumes and articles by
other old boys.
This is because of the large
amount of response that I have to check, correspond with the person that wrote
an article
Mainwhile, I lose track of the
would-be circular and after all this I find it again and it gets published.
One of these is the resume of
Christopher Date.
Ladislao
RE:
CHRISTOPHER DATE D.O.B. 18/10/1943
I was at
Mount from January 1954 to Form V in December 1959.
I went on
to Douai School, Near Reading, England to do my 'A' levels.
After
that I was "articled" with a firm of Chartered Accountants in London.
After
qualifying as a Chartered Accountant I worked in London until I returned to
Trinidad with Price Waterhouse in December 1971.
In 1976 I
left PW to form the firm of Date, Montgomery & Co with David Montgomery.
In 1982
we dissolved that practice and I continued as C W DATE & CO until I left
Trinidad in March 1984 to settle in England.
During
1984 and 1985 I worked with Jon Golding in Whitehall, London to build his
company Sterling Westminster Limited.
From 1985
to 1988 I was Finance Director to a group of companies involved in Tower Cranes
and Fork Lift trucks.
In 1988 I
returned to the profession as a Partner in a north London practice, KEELINGS.
From 1994
to the present I have been a sole practitioner in Chorleywood, England
I will
forward this e-mail to Robert & Alan and ask them to update you on their
movements in the past forty years.
Robert is
now a Captain with BWIA, based in Trinidad.
Alan is a
Lecturer in Seoul, South Korea.
Keep up
the good work,
Regards
Chris

That
won’t stop u guzzling the vodka, will it?
Are we
talking about Br. Vincent who was there in 60's and 70's?
If him,
when I came back to Trinidad about 3 years ago, I went to look for him.
I heard
from Cutty that he had left the priesthood.
Cutty
said that he was married with a family and lived in Miami, doing work with drug
abuse kids.
I was
extremely fond of him.
His family
was from Guayaguare / past Mayaro on East Coast.
Many
times when riding up there I would bounce him up when he was on Holidays
Does anyone
have a contact e-mail for him..................?
If it’s
him, I can only remember that he was an exceptionally nice man.
He always
had time to talk to you and not down to you.
He was
always willing to be a friend when I felt that I had no friends at Mount.
He never
judged you, he would give you his opinion straight if u asked for it, but he
would not push his views down your throat.
I can
recall him ever losing his cool once, Rosendal, a Surinamese boy tried to stab
him with a fork in the refectory.
He was no
wimp and could have chewed Rosendal up without even breaking a sweat, but he
held back.
Other
than a fantastic person and a friend, I can’t remember any specifics.
Are we
talking about the same guy?
Bro.
Vincent was a man, he never bullshitted you.
He would
discipline you if you deserved it, but fair, and he did not hold grudges.
I have
only the highest admiration for him.
John
