RE: Carnival 2012

2012-Jan-30-0256Hrs

Since several of us "foreigners" will be visiting T&T for carnival, there is a suggestion that we have a liming spot for Monday & Tuesday for those who want to re-unite.  Mas camp pub between 2 & 4 or for however long we last. Other suggestions are welcome.  It would be great to have an after carnival lime also.  We could communicate via the blog if phone #'s are not available.

Hello all,

First I would like to extend my deepest condolences to the family of Mr Hem-L ee who was so brutally murdered.

This is to let you know that I will be in sunny T&T from Feb 9 to Feb 29 and can be reached at 868-652-8114 (south) and 868-637-6315 (north). I am so looking forward to seeing and /or hearing from as many of the family as possible. During my last visit the response was overwhelming, four calls, one from Ainsley Ash in France.

So let's keep breakingn thosen records.

So far, it appears that Mayfair Mansion will be well represented by its NA contingent.

Take care.

Hello to all  my Mausican family!!

Here's to a HEALTHY, HAPPY, BLESSED, AND PROSPEROUS 2012 !!!

Special greetings and blessings  to our Errol for continuing to keep us together and informed.

Even though this is late.. I have to say Hats off to the New York side of the family for bringing off such a wonderful time at the Big Apple Reunion. I enjoyed every second of it.

I can't wait for 2013. I don't care what date is set.  Anytime will be good enough for me.

God's willing. However we have to remember that not all of us are  free from work and other commitments yet.

By the way I found my long lost  flatmate Jean Cruickshank now Cozier.She was not aware that all this "niceness" was happening every 2 years wid de fambaly. Ah had to bring her up to speed in the little time  we had together when I was home in T'dad.

Here I go again... Ah always looking for somebody.  Ah looking for one more person now.  Her name used to be Leonie Lyons. She used to be my athletic pardner one time. Anyone knows her whereabouts?  Please let me know.

Warm regards Myrdith.**

That's how I like to see the blog... lots of input.   I am cool with any dates for the Reunion.   Who talked about  "getting old" ?  Mausicans, don't go there, even if we have to use a walking stick or a zimmer frame, attach a ribbon to jazz it up.

Have we decided on a theme for the Reunion?  I would like us to visit the College site, at least to say a prayer and sing some of the old songs to let the spirits that roam there know we have not forgotten where we started.  This could be a daytime event.

Does anyone have  photos of the hostel flags?  I would like one of the Kirkendale flag  please.

The year is flying fast.  Mausicans who have July commitments should indicate as we want as many as possible to be at the reunion.

Be blessed.

Hi Errol

Hope 2012 is treating you with respect.   Please pass on the Obama Clinton book news to Mausicans on the blog.

It's exciting to have it out at this time.   Be blessed

July 19- 26  for the 2013  Reunion seems okay to me... can hardly wait!

RE: reunion 2013

2012-Jan-18-1832Hrs

We have been following the discussion on the suggested dates and agree that the week of July 19, 2013 would be more suitable to us.  Many of us have family obligations Caribana weekend and some of us are involved with making and/or playing mas.

Also the Torontonians have an ongoing lime on Caribana Sunday, as well as the St. Benedicts alumni brunch.

As usual, we would support your choice as best as we can, because we know that everyone's wishes cannot be met.

Dear Errol,

Allow me, through you, to wish a Happy New Year to all my fellow Mausicans.

I thoroughly enjoyed seeing so many of them at the Mausica mini-lime at Hilton and thank Maria for following through on the suggestion. Excellent work!

I was pleased when I called Mrs.Cuffie ( Aunty Daphne to many) on her birthday (January 6) to find her very bright and cheerful and to learn that she had had a lot of visitors,including faithful Barbara Davis. She happily and proudly told me that it was her 8oth birthday. I have a vague recollection of visiting her, I believe, in hospital, on her 39th birthday. She was sad on that day because of the circumstances. But God knows best. It seems like yesterday.

I was unable to visit as I was not moving around much having been laid up with an injury to my leg which occurred when a pyrex dish slipped from my hand, crashed to the floor and a piece of the glass gashed my calf. I was supposed to fly out on that day but ended up in a hospital emergency room getting sutures for the deep wound.Talk about freak accident! And the hard part was, I was making a Johhny Bake that was coming out real good, but I had to throw it out because of the splinters. Towards the end of last year I broke my little finger, so let's hope the accidents do not continue. One of the hazards of getting old?

I wish you all a prosperous, healthy, safe, accident-free New Year.Will be home for Carnival.

Love,

Hazel Thompson-Ahye

RE: Reunion 2013

Fellow Mausicans,

Greetings. The New Year is well on its way and I hope that  everyone is enjoying good health, some measure of peace and joy and of course, happiness!. I wish you all the best.

I am happy to learn that your  Christmas gathering in Trinidad was quite a success. We are all looking forward to the Reunion in 2013.

The week of Friday July 19th to Friday 26th 2013 for the upcoming Reunion may be great for people who are retired but I was just thinking of making all this happen in one week including the weekend ...lets say Sunday  July 21st to Sunday July 28th (so it means 5 days off from work)

It really could be any week in July.

This  is only a suggestion and I am only one voice but I will certainly fall in line if you stick with your dates because I know that a lot of logistics must be taken into consideration The fact is that I do summer school, because I want to see the kids, that I have taught all year, graduate in the Summer.

Good luck with your planning. Mausica Teachers' Alumni & Friends, New York Chapter, stands ready to assist if needed.

Warm regards,

Buzzie

To the 2013 Planning Committee.

I support Joan B's suggestion that we we schedule the date for the reunion for July 19th thru July 26th.

We should accommodate our Canadian brothers and sisters because they have a strong presence at every reunion. Since many of them are deeply involved in all  the Caribana events leading up to the big day, August 3rd,  we should be be considerate.

Many returning Mausicans from the USA, London and elsewhere would most likely spend two weeks vacation in TNT and would be able to participate in the Emancipation and Tobago Heritage celebrations.

If Joey Lewis is still active, please book him early. Remember the gala at the Center of Excellence in 2003? Dat was fete fuh so!o.

Consider ah beach lime at one of the beaches in Tobago. Remember 2007? Wat about  ah old-fashioned variety concert at Queens Hall? Invite some guest artistes to attract the public. Use the profit from the event to establish a scholarship fund. In addition, Include a dollar amount in the registration fee to add  to the Scholarship Fund.

So long for now.

RE: Another suggestion?

2012-Jan-05-2129Hrs

Hey My Peeps,

Here is another suggestion re: the Week for Mausica50 2013:

Joan B has suggested  Friday 19th July to Friday 26th July 2013,  ( the week before the first dates given) because we remember the anxiety for our Canadian bros and sistahs to return for Caribana, we missed quite a few on the final night at the Dinner & Dance . Do you all need breathing space, my Canadian Peeps and those Trinis who left us and went up?

LET THE CONVERSATION BEGIN. NOW IS D TIME. I am hoping that this attempt at democracy works smoothly. Let us give ourselves two weeks to converse and come to a final decision about the dates for Mausica50 2013. It is early yet.

To Mausicans My Dears:

A Joyous and Peaceful 2012
filled with
Happiness and The Very Best of Health

The Following dates have been agreed upon for Mausica50 2013.  Please give us your feedback re: feelings about these dates, too many days? etc. etc.  Some people felt that we should have one week of celebrations and also that we should try to get in some of the Emancipation Celebrations.  Emancipation Day is August 1st.  Jemma Jordan made a call to Canada and we were told that Caribana is on the 3rd August and there were some concerns that our Trini-Canadians may want to return home for Caribana.  This is why we will end on 1st.  

Here are the dates  -  2013

Friday 26th July

Saturday 27th July

Sunday 28th July

Monday 29th July

Tuesday 30th July

Wednesday 31st July

Thursday 1st August

Lots happening in Trinidad and Tobago during this time, with Emancipation in Trinidad and Heritage Festival in Tobago. 

We await your feedback.

The pictures give us one more hug, and miles of smiles from Mennen.
