HI Mausicans

A few years ago we started the Calabash Festival which oened up a whole new activity to me.

We arranged for Noel Duncan of Tobago ( I had seen an article about him in MOTMOT)to workshop with us and he showed us how to " work the calabash" ...  he even had me carving a turtle on a calabash when all I can draw is Tea!

Anyhow , a lot of my spare time ( such as it is ) is spent collecting, cutting, gutting and then carving calabash.  Attached are two of my favourites... they come in all sizes.

have you noticed how 2012 is racing to be in time for the 2013 REunion?  ah cyah WAIT!  Pat

Be safe and be kind to those around you.  Hug your children a lot... they are  never too big for that.   Show the love.

Someone mentioned John Lennon's quote. So I am sending an e mail that includes his alleged saying. I do not know whether it is true or not. I would like someone to research it and enlighten us. It will be in the next e mail.

P.S My Condolence goes to the Douglas family until we all rejoin our risen Lord.

Maria,

Thank you for being 'in my corner'. I was trying to take the 'high road'. Congratulations on your Manila visit. Though I know it's a working visit, I'm sure you are finding time to enjoy yourself. I have a niece who is currently on a teaching contract there. It would have been nice to have a phone contact for her. I will verify this with my sister. However, I'm not sure you would still be there. I'll send an email to your personal mailbox.

I am quite sure that you are doing Mausica, T&T, and yourself 'proud' at that conference. Keep up the good work.

Get back home safely.

I am loving what I am hearing about our 50th reunion so far.

Revisiting Mausica(I can hardly wait), a day in San Fernando, Tobago lime. Let's all try to be there with God's grace.

Bertie's daughter has been keeping me updated and gave me the following information.  He is now in a rehab facility after receiving radiation and is waiting to have chemo.  His speech is not as slurred and his memory is returning, so he can have phone conversations.  There is a piano in the rehab centre and he played a few chords on it and the staff was quite impressed.  Let's keep him in our prayers.

Thanks Errol,

I wish to congratulate Lester and Corenza Osuna on their  fortieth wedding anniversary ( April 31st). May their love continue to grow and bless all who have been sent into their lives.

Condolences to the family of Mr. Douglas.. "Douggie" was a true professional patiently  guiding those of us who had a less than adequate background in his subject area..

How is Bertie?

All the best to Maria on her trip to the Phillipines..

Hi All,

As of 12th May, I have joined that august group of fellow Mausicans. Its a happy time not having to hustle on mornings. Though I miss it a bit its certainly good to sleep in late for now.

Some of us have begun working on a history of Mausica, and I would appreciate knowing which faculty, besides MA Cuffie, myself and June Joseph are still here with us. Please reply to Errol for publication. I would light a candle for Mr. Douglas. He took charge of a medical condition in 1968, and lost a lot of weight. That was 44 years ago!

May he rest in peace.

i know none of the faculty who came after I left, so aa list of them would also be helpful.

My condolences go out to the Douglas family.  Like the Maunday children, Inremember the Douglases, with their genteel Mom and very gentle Dad.  I am sure that he is resting in peace.  Phillip I am so sorry that someone used the Mausica Blog to be unkind to you.  After all these years. And after all that we have been through in our lives, I would think that we would have matured, become empathic and  have learned to accept life with all its joys and imperfections.  I cannot recall seeing the email. Will have to look for it.  That person after all this time has not gained any wisdom, which comes with aging.  sorry that you had to go through this after all this time. It boggled my mind.  You are also very right.  This is not what this blog is about.  Maria from Manila.

Dear Errol at al,

How are you all.  Just to let you know that we have been proceeding "nicely" with the Mausica50 2013. A Theme has been finally decided and we are now working at finalizing the events which will take place between 19th and 26th July 2013.

Dear, Dear Colleagues, please, I am asking you all to continue to excercise your patience with us. Everything is unfolding as it should.  Errol, we will be in touch with you re: putting the registration form on the website.  Is the website being updated. I have not gone on for a while.  We will need to remind people about the website, especially those new members who have come on since NY.   They will have to learn the procedure.  We will be ready to post the form on the website by the end of June.  Thank you all so much for keeping the energy flowing.

Not sure if I mentioned that I will be in Manila, The Phillipines attending the "International Association of Counselling" Conference. Presenting a paper on "Counselling to Advance the Human Rights of Children and Young People." Would have left Trinidad by the time you see this (13th to 20th), then will be in NY from 21st to 26th, back home on 26th, then leave again for St. Lucia on 31st and returning on 4th June.  This latter is organized by Felix, it is a follow-up to our Pilgrimage to Jerusalem in 2010.

The work of committee continues while I am gone, asl continue to meet and put what is necessary in place.  I want to thank the members of the committee for their committment and passion about ensuring that 2013 will be  "Unforgettable."

Congratulations to you Herbert! You have joined the very envious position. You don't have to close up shop but you need to relax and pace yourself carefully. Everybody thinks you have all the time and they seek to pile stuff on you, so just learn to say WAIT.

Errol,

I appreciate this blog for the social impact it has had on Mausica's alumni world wide. I've been reading for the past two to three years. I would like the trend that the blog has set to continue in the pleasant exchange and update of peer information and whereabouts.

I was asked to 'set the record' straight with regard to my contributions to the sporting life of the campus during my two-year stint. In attempting to do so, it appears that an individual has chosen to comment on my personal life instead. I would like that person to send his comments to my personal email box and not to the blog.

I am quite certain that we would all agree that the purpose of this blog is not to examine each other personal lives. This is not the forum for this. I would like to express my displeasure over the comments made regarding my married life in Siparia. There are three sides to every issue. Yours, mine, and the truth.

Dear Errol,,

Howard and I want to wish Herbert all the best in this new phase of his life. I keep saying this is not retirement, it is time to re-fire. It is' refirement'  Herbert, we know that you have a lot to offer our people and we pray that you would simply open yourself to be used, however God wants to use you!

Congratulations on this milestone and may God richly bless you!

Hi Errol

Thanks for the updates

My prayers are with Bert "Al" Fraser If my memory serves me right he was a Havenite Room 12 "The Bomb Room" Who could have missed that when residing in Fair Haven Room 12 when its was posted up on the wall to remind  you of the standards you had to maintain. My prayers are with Bertie and his family at this time.

Congratulations to Joy Valdez on her work of Art and being a published writer.

Mr Kendall is still the Mr Kendall I know from being a resident of Siparia. Time has passed but not much seems to have changed. I have known his "wife" and his "children" for a long time. Nuff said!

Keep up the good work.

Allan S Noreiga (70-72)

If someone makes you happy today, they make you happy twenty years hence, by the memory of it!

RE: Condolences

Hello Errol,

Kindly pass on my condolences to the family of Merle Manswell.

I last saw Merle, my 66-68 sister, at the 2007 reunion in Tobago. We danced,  had a good time and reminisced. She was dancing non-stop.

She used to call me "Ring Ting Ting", a name I  earned after singing a hitsong made popular by the Merrymen of Barbados.. Leroy Cox, my guitarist, and I brought the house down in assembly that morning.

It was a pleasure meeting Merle at Mausica. She was a track star and a good all-round student.

Rest in peace and rise in glory, my dear friend.

Rodney Foster.
