Hi Errol,
Please add Brenda La Hee- Sampson (64 - 66) to our mail list: nic_leon25@yahoo.com.
She attended Reunion 2009 meetings while she was in Grenada and is still in contact with the organizing committee and is also doing some work for the Reunion here in T&T. She can be contacted at the above address.
I was unable to attend the T&T Luncheon and through Brenda I learnt it was quite a success. Congratulation to the planners.

Sorry, but I hope I'm not too persistent; but I asked for some clarification and received no reply. The registration form for the reunion has quote" a non refundable deposit of $80US per person is required to register for thespice Isle reunion 4/09." I am asking what does this 4/09 means. Please can someone explain, thank you.

Congratulations to the Kirkindale 'Girls' for pulling off a very successful event.
It seems like each time we see some new people. The presence of Ms Hordatt and Mr. Maundy reminded me in a sense of the presence of royalty presiding over the ocassion. Early congratulations to Ms Hordatt who says that she will celebrate her 90th birthday on January 1st. God bless her.
The singing was at both ends of the spectrum. Some were very good and some were...Oh gawd....Hazel Thompson...the words came eventually and Gregory...I heard some words that didn't exist.... But all in all another wonderful, rich experience.
As usual some of us had to leave last...just enjoying the lime...Alisford sorry I couldn't help you with the equipment.
I look forward to Grenada.

Thank you to the Grenada Committee for sending me the information for presentation tomorrow (Saturday) at the luncheon for the TriniMausicans at Cascadia. Ansel Knights, I remember that we did that last year. 4/09 means that this is the 4th Mausica Reunion and it is happening in 09 thus 4/09. It is happening in July09, dates as printed on the forms. Hope that I see you tomorrow. "We cookin' wid gas."

The registration form for Reunion 09 is here. I checked on the website personaltrainingprograms.com/mausica and there is still info on 2007 reunion. There is nothing about 2009. I have to give an update at the Mausica Trinidad Reunion on November 29. The luncheon is at Cascadia from 11.30a.m. I would have liked to ask people to access forms on the website, hoping that it will be there or is the website inactive? I will let them know that it is on the blog, but those whose email addresses are not on the list may want to know how they can access the forms. Conrad, Errol, please let me know if the website will be updated to include form for 2009 reunion, in upcoming events. Need to know by Friday. TQ. Reunion 2009 is happening. I should say to you all Season's Greetings and Happy New Year 2009. For me, Happiness is Prosperity in these times. Don't worry. Be Happy.

There are some things about Mausica that will forever be etched in my memory.I will never ever forget the scene in the lecture theatre of Gerard Francis of Grenada strumming his guitar and singing to Marie Louise in the presence of all of us:"She wears my ring." He even went down on his knees to her. Such theatre!
On another note, as You know I am here for my year's sabbtical(hopefully forever, let's see what God says). It is great to go on my stomping ground of Trincity Mall and meet old friends.Last evening when I was there,I met an old Mausican, Bridget Haye from Tobago(I do not recall her maiden name) You may remember she used to run her own preschool in Trincity and, for some years, also headed UWI's pre- school, where both my children attended.She is not enjoying the best of health, I am afraid.
While we were chatting a lady, whom I believe cares for Mrs. Cuffie, came by. She told us that Mrs. Cuffie is not doing so well. I have not spoken to De Cuff since her birthday last January. Bridget and I plan to visit soon. Meanwhile I am giving out De Cuff's phone number so those of you who wish,can call and say Hello.It is 640-5948. I am also going to pay Fitzie a visit.I have to brace myself for "the mouth" as he is still not easy in that area.Endless talks and laughs to make my cheeks hurt.

As given below, the correct mail box is 671. The Registration Form is again attached - with the correct mail box - 671. Apart from the box number the initial address was correct.
Mausicans who may have already tried to reach by mail, however, need not worry. Small size has its blessings and we'll receive your mail; so you can sit tight.

I missed what Jasper was congratulating Carlston for, but I'm sure it's worth my congratulations too. Congrats Jasper on your promotion. I am pleased to say that I attended one of the performances of "Bitter Cassava", it was great. Last evening, I also attended the book launch of "A Place In The World: Essays and Tributes in Honour of Earl Lovelace @ 70". The launch was part of UWI's 60th anniversary celebrations. It really was wonderful. Dr Leroy Calliste entertained us. Also in the SPEC were Bro. Resistance and other popular cultural personalities . I was able to purchase the book and get some of the great literary minds who made contributions to autograph it for me. Earl Lovelace signed on the page where my picture appears with him signing my copy of "Salt". I'm still beaming this morning.

Yes Scratchy, I think that his name was Gerard Francis. If I remember correctly he had a "thing" with Marie Louise Felice. Hope that this is not dredging up old stuff, but it is so many years hence. Water is well under the bridge by now. Many bridges have been broken down, and rivers filled in with sand. Maria. I just smile when I remember the "times" we had.

Re: eating the errors.
2008-Nov-13-2151hrs
Thanks for the compliment Scratchie. If I was not a teacher of teachers and children, I might have been a stand-up comic. " Eating the errors" came from my mother, who could not afford to have her daughter(one of 11 children) experimenting with food stock to create recipies. Well, once, I tried making sweetbread, at age fourteen or so, and it came out so heavy- still raw inside, that our dog refused to eat it. It took me a while to live down that one.
"See, even the dog would not eat your errors."
I admit, I am a much better sweetbread maker now. I regularly do them as gifts to friends.and for the TnT Thanksgiving Dinner held in Houston every year.If children are allowed to try things, they may make a boo-boo, but they learn from the errors. By the time I lived on Mausica campus, Beryl Woods was complimenting me on my Christmas Cake.
Anyone knows anything about Anna Sylvester? She was in my tutorial 1967-68.

Hi Errol,
The UWI is celebrating 60 years of being in existence. This week lauds creativity in all its forms through the medium of a Book Fair. You may be pleased to know that Effebo Wilkinson's play, Bitter Cassava, was performed by the Creative Arts Centre as one of their literary items. This sad, humourous play was well received by the audience. Congrats. Effebo.
Those of you who are UWI grads. do not miss out on the celebrations. The Programs are enjoyable.

It is great to hear about Violet Sylvester, a very dignified lady, and a first year to my group. Wonder where are other Grenadian students from that year group...such as John Wright, Abraham XXXX, and a third male whose name escapes me but who played a guitar in the choir. Then there was a female, with last name Romain. Can anyone fill in the gaps in my memory? These were all Grenadian students from 1968-70.

If you put yeast in the dough and knead it twice it should be nice and light with the right amount of air without all the big spaces. Use butter in the batter to make it crusty. Tell me how it worked out.
Bernice Stephens-Alleyene

Re: MAUSICA WEEKLY EMAILS
2008-Oct-31-0438hrs
Pat, the fry bakes puff up depending on the texture of the dough, and how much baking powder you use in it. I cannot for the life of me write out a recipe, its in the mind as it were, but when you get the texture of the dough right, it just feels right, Let the dough sit for awhile before rolling into balls. Use a bit of milk in the mixture for softness, not condensed, evaporated, Roll them out with a rolling pin as that seems to distribute the air better.When I am done with this bake I made two days ago, I will do frybakes, and will write down step by step and send it to you. Trial and error is a good way to go. You must eat the errors, though. If not even your dog would eat it, you're in trouble. Linda
