Hi Errol,
I'm thanking you again for forwarding Mausica News. It was good to hear comments from familar buddies as Bussie, Yvonne, Antoine, Tom , Rick and Kay. Hi to all. Buzzie, I'm like you. I'm grinding too! Necessary family trips interfered with my plans for the Mausica fun times. so alas for me 'dis' time. Tom, thanks for the 'Merrymen' tunes. They sounded real good to my ears in Noblesville.
I'm wonderin who, Anna Maria Mora is. I'm so much outta de loupe.

Dear Errol and Mausica Family,
Thank you all for your concern and caring during this difficult time in my life. I’m looking forward to the reunion as seeing all of you again, I know, will certainly bring some joy and laughter… perhaps even “Summer Time.”
My family and I are planning a Memorial Service for Gene to celebrate and give thanks for his life in the place of his birth. The service will be held at St. Cyprian’s Anglican Church in Santa Flora on Saturday, July 11, 2009 at 1:00 PM with a reception to follow.
If anyone of you will be in Trinidad at that time we would love to have you share in the celebration of this “Honourary Mausican.”
If there any questions please do not hesitate to contact me at the information listed below.
Best Regards,
Joan

You mean to tell me that men in TNT are now willing to consider bright, attractive independent women as life partners? You mean to say they are no longer primarily interested in you callalloo making and other domestic skills? You mean to say there may be life outside of the bedroom? Are we in the 25th century yet? Take a bow Ana Maria, but don't take him on, such a public comment is merely a power play,more diminishing than elevating.

I would think that the committee in Grenada should have an idea of any funds needed, before our contingent leaves for Grenada. A money order or draft could then be sent with Brenda.

Hi All,
Greetings from New York..I have been a great follower of the reunions but unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, I will not be able to attend this one. I had already registered but something personal has come up and I will be out of the country during the time of the reunioun...Ah grinding too bad!!
I do not know who will be attending but I am sure that New York will be represented. I am keeping abreast of all the events leading up to the big day..Thanks Errol. I am also happy that Canada will be represented in a big way...
All the best.
Buzzie.

As no money has yet been given, I think that the Toronto Group should forget about the donation. The Grenada Planning Committee did not indicate that they would not be in the black.
Amen.

I was listening to this morning's programme of radio 95.5fm and one of the popular presenters said that one of the women in Trinidad that he admired the most and that he would like to .....be with is Anna Maria Mora. Apparently he dosen't know that he has to go to the end of the long line.

There was no discussion about other alumni's contributions. Yvonne informed us that the planning committee had no seed money and were doing things out of pocket. It was felt that since no one was averse to the idea of our group making a contribution and the funds were not being used, we would make a donation. Generous? Yes. I forgot to mention that those who are going to Grenada were at the meeting at Yvonne's home - Allum, Joyce, Florence, Brenda, Yvonne. Barbara joined us to give some ideas and Norville joined for the company.

RE: Spice isle reunion

There was some discussion at our last general meeting regarding a $500.00 donation however, we wanted a breakdown of the various costs to help us understand the need for the donation. As in Conrad's case, I am not objecting, I just don't think that our $500.00 will put them in the black.
A message (explaining the circumstances) should be put on the website and maybe, those attending will be willing to give another $20.00 at the end of the reunion or there may be other suggestions.

Hello Mausicans
Imagine , two years ago we started to plan for a touchdown at Pt Saline Airport... now it's the Maurice Bishop Airport! So much can change in a short space of time. I wonder if we could gather some time during our short week to sing something symbolic at that airport... Lift every voice and sing? Just a thought.
The past week has been wonderful here. On Pentecost Sunday we celebrated Mass in our new Church building which will be officially dedicated on June 18th. THis is the new Parish Church of St Patrick which replaces the one in Plymouth, the now buried capital, lost to the volcano over the past 14 years. To add to our joy we learnt that our Parish Priest, Father George Agger, is to spend another 3 years with us on Montserrat. It is not at all amazing that each priest over the years has brought something unique to respond to the need of the particular time. God is always looking after His people.
Today we await the arrival of son Graham. He will be here for a short while before returning to New Zealand via one or two of the nearby islands... he has been gaining expertise in Geothermal skills over the past 16 months. We feel truly blessed.
I can't believe it is now time to say...SEE YOU NEXT MONTH IN GRENADA!!. love and blessings....Pat
My camera got broken some time ago. Graham brings a replacement today so I will let you see what the Church looks like now in my future blog. Pat

RE: Spice isle reunion
2009-JUN-03-2005Hrs
I don't quite understand this. Were we approached as a group to make a contribution or is it a loan or are we just being generous or is it a levy on each alumni group? Our banker didn't seem to be aware of it....I would really like to understand...also how many are representing is in Grenada?
P.S. This is not an objection. I just need to understand.

Hi everyone,
Several of us met on Sunday at Yvonne's home. Things are quite expensive in Grenada and a lot has to be imported. The group has no seed money and has been making arrangements out of pocket.
After some discussion, we decided that $500. should be sent to the Grenada committee to help with costs.

Hello All:

Just wanted you to know that I have been enjoying the communications, even though I could not respond by email due to my injury. I had enlisted my husband in replying to those inquiries previously when it was thought that I had become deceased. Thank you Errol for straightening out the confusion, and thank you Pat for your messages of concern and caring at that time. Pat Gill, it was great seeing a message from my former close friend and Wingate buddy up on the screen!! Hope all is well with you and yours. I now have a beautiful 3 month- old grand son.

Love to all.
Joy Barnes, formerly Marshall.
