FOR THE BLOG

On behalf of the Mausica Teachers' Alumni and Friends, New York Chapter,I wish to extend a warm welcome to our Permanent Representative of Trinidad and Tobago to the United Nations, Rodney Charles. Congratulations, we are delighted.

Mary and I visited Rodney, and even though we had never met Rodney before, we were welcomed in the way that a Mausican greets a Mausican!   After two hours of "ole talk" about the "good ole days" of Mausica, we were given the assurance that Rodney will attend our Reunion.  He has since been encouraging his fellow Mausicans, especially his year group, to join us at the Reunion.

From our conversation, I am sure that Rodney will be effective in bringing about substantial and meaningful improvements in his role as Ambassador. We wish him continued success in your post.

Welcome Rodney!!

Bernice Tarradath

PS. The Reunion is on, going full steam ahead. We welcome all latecomers!

Hurry! Hurry! There are exactly 87 days to go before the REUNION.

RE: Passing the Torch

2011-APR-25-2047Hrs

Hello Errol,

Attached is Mr Williams' response to my question; "What does passing the torch mean to me?"

It's another gem. to share with the Mausica family.

As usual,

Rodney

"WHAT DOES PASSING THE TORCH MEAN TOME?.

Tarred burning sticks or torches provided street lighting in Antioch, Greece around 450 A.D.

The metonymy “passing the torch” implies passing on to others the means and responsibility for mental and spiritual enlightenment; to me it underscores my sacred obligation to bequeath to my posterity the fruits of my divinely appointed life’s labors, bright and vibrant, so that akin to the manner in which the final torchbearer, relaying the Olympic flame from Greece to every Games venue, enkindles  the flare in the waiting basin, so to would the marriage of our united life missions be ENGULFED IN THE FULL EFFLUGENCE OF GOD’S GLORY.

Fitz James  Williams."

My condolences to the Knox family. What a great celebration there should be for his life and the mission he completed down here. Your Dad lived to a grand age that has been promised to those who are obedient to their parents. He must have been.

Easter greetings as we look forward to the rising of Our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ and to your Dad's.

God bless.

Pat. (mausician 1971-73.)

Dear Errol,

Many thanks for the work you do in keeping the Mausica family together. I am a 1968/70 Mausica graduate from Sunset Villa and the recently (December last) appointed TT ambassador to the UN.  I would very much like to be part of the NY reunion and am willing to offer any assistance that i can provide.

Reading you e-mails makes me feel at home and helps me to remember some of the very good days spent at Mausica.

Thanks very much and keep up the good work.

Rodney Charles

Fellow Mausicans,

On Wednesday 13th, we said good-bye to our Dad, John Phillip Knox age 94.

He was the former Pioneer Principal and later Superintendent of the School for Blind Children in Santa Cruz, Trinidad.

His commitment to the education of  the Blind is well documented, but he was also the guiding light and mentor to many.

For those who offered prayers and condolences, my brother Frank and I wish to extend our thanks.

Hi Errol and Fellow Mausicans,

Thanks for sharing the Mausica news. I don't know many of them but it still brings joy, as I see the spirit of what we were about still exists with so many.  I'm soooooooooooh sorry that I won't be able to be at the New York reunion. So I'll have to enjoy it vicariously via commentaries.  Life's financial emergencies have messed with my plans.

Blessings to the families of Mausicans who went to God and a truly joyous Easter to all of you.

PS In your last letter you requested info and Mausica created products and I'd like to make mention of an instrument I created to help students in the early grades with their phonics and the blending process for reading.  The CD is titled 'Pat Sings Phonics'.  More info on it can be found on the website Patsingsphonics.com  I Think Ma Cuffie would be proud to know that her influence on us as creators helped to spur me on to use my creativity throughout my teaching career and life.

Ii've lost my info on her.  Do you mind resending? I'd appreciate it.  I'd love to contact her in some way.

Thanks in advance, and a great day to you and all.

Mausican brothers and sisters

Today, April 10, 2011 ,  I completed a 5k walk in about one hour. MY first attempt at anything like that.  I was 7th out of 7 walkers and was motivated by the promise of a T shirt for completing the course!...  a souvenir related to the  scientific conference held  earlier in the week to contemplate inter alia the 15 year story of our ongoing volcanic eruption.  July 18 2011 will mark the 16th anniversary ... how time flies! We used to think it would all be over in a very short while.   The conference was a great success and was attended by scientists from all over the world, some visiting the island for the first time.

In the news this morning I heard that the No 1 walker made it in 42 mins 8sec... so this senior did well. There were about 15 runners and the winner got in at 22 mins  approx.. I came away with a souvenir pen.... apparently the shirt was just bait for which I fell, but I confess that when I was tempted to throw in the towel it was the shirt that kept me going!

Some people funny eh?   My motto   THE VIRTUE LIES IN THE STRUGGLE, NOT THE PRIZE   MY mantra during the challenging parts of the walk  THE LORD IS MY STRENGTH AND MY SALVATION    Best wishes, Pat

Hi fellow Mausicans

All I know is that I was at the 25th Anniversary Reunion... was it Ansel Wyatt who supplied Music?

Passing the torch... so beautifully captured and released to us by Aunty Daph.  Thanks for sharing Rodney ( I thought you were just teasing us at first!)

She is a true gem.

Thanks Errol for sharing Linda's photos with us... so beautiful, and as I have experienced her since our first meeting at the Tobago reunion, it comes from within.   Love and blessings, Pat

I would like to be in contact with Mausicans residing in North Trinidad who are SERIOUS Music Festival fans... trying to set something up for 2012

Pat Ryan
