In my humble view Mausica Teachers' College should be nominated for the order of the Trinity.

TO: THE PLANNING COMMITTEE

I would like to suggest that the planning committee arrange for all Mausicans to spend a few hours at the original campus as part of the celebratory activities.You may have to seek permission from the Ministry of National Security because I think there is an army base on the premises. That would be real nostalgic!

Correction.

The calypso historian of our era (1972-74) has informed that it was Rawle Carrington of Mayfair mansion who sang "how dey nice so?'. Maybe its time for Rawle to show up to one of the reunions.

Hello Errol,

Congrats to Selwyn Jacob on his award. It thrills my heart whenever I hear of the the accomplishments of my fellow Mausicans.

In TNT there are several opportunities  for us to live the legacy of MTC. Recently on Wack Radio, during my interview, we discussed  MTC and its contributions to folksongs  in TNT and the entire world. Last year I heard a German or Finnish choir singing one of our folksongs on you tube. Kenny Phillips of WACK Radio and  Ken, my interviewer, would welcome your calls or visits to the station at 129 Coffee St, Sando,. Tel. # 868-652-9774/5521.  My wife, Marjorie, said it was "refreshing" to hear Lulu on Wack.

Thank you Eastlyn for the info on our mutual friend, Dela. What a legacy. I remember your surprise when he stopped by the gala in the 2007, in Tobago. "Davis, wey you doing here?" Dela was an honorary Mausican. In Trinidad, at Belgrove,  we celebrated his life with tears and lots of laughter. It was typical Dela.

So long for now.

Rodney foster.

Belated congrats from me to Selwyn.  When I don't  respond immediately it almost never gets done.   Mausicans have talent cyah done!   All the talk about starch mango and Julie mango reminds me that 1981 ( when I came to Montserrat) was the first time I ever had the pleasure of eating a Julie mango all by myself.... before that in Trinidad, it was Face, Side or Seed!   I never bought mangoes in any overseas country. I used whatever was grown there... much better I think. 

It amazed me to see that nearly everyone has a Julie mango tree in their yard.

I am so looking forward to reunion 2013!   most of all, I want to get to meet those bloggers from the later years... so many new names. Errol, any idea how many of us there are?   ie anyone who has ever blogged qualifies for the count.  Any chance of  a Cd with the Folk songs?   Blessings to all.   Pat

Ladies of Kirkendale:

Joy, that picture brings back fond memories of the ladies across the tracks. Mike Duncan wrote and sang a calypso "how dey nice so", 39-40 years later it is still true. To all of the ladies of Mausica, especially those from my sister hostel Kirkendale "yuh still nice".

Selwyn:

From the time I saw the quality of "Harry Joe's Children", I knew that you were a first class producer. Congratulations on your award. I hope that you can find some time to extend the video to include the later years of Mausica, "Daphne Cuffie's children".

Is it possible to have a panel discusssion along with with clips from the video on one of the TV stations during the reunion. I am sure Linda and others can create "a fifty year special" for TV audiences.

Looking forward to next July and the Reunion.

Hi Fellow Mausicans, It is so great to be kept up to date on all that is happening in the lives of Mausicans. Yes Rodney Foster, Della was also my very good friend. I attended the funeral service at the Scarborough R.C. church. Mausica was mentioned in the Eulogy and your name was also mentioned as one of his 'wayward'(my description) friends. I was also mentioned but not in the same way- you tek dat1!- He had a lovely send off. If you see man in dat funeral ! Ah guess all a dem come to 'drown' their sorrows without entering water! I was in Trinidad when he died. He drowned right in the sea in Lambeau where I live. It was a shock to everybody because Dela never go deeper than his ankle in the sea. May his soul rest in eternal peace .Eastlyn 64-66.

Hello Errol,

On Tuesday night, on my return home, Marjorie greeted me with, "Dela gone."  Now, I know two Delas, my childhood friend, Delano Davis and my uncle's girlfriend, Della. I searched her face for a clue but there was none. I stood there speechless for a long moment and then I ventured, "Meh pardnah, Dela?"

She said, "Yes."

I am sharing this with the blog because many of my 66-68 Mausican peers would remember him.

Dela was at Centeno when I attended Mausica. He and some of his suffering, riding pardnahs would visit me on campus. At that time Centeno had only plants and livestock. Everybody knew they were looking for some action.  He drove a white Sunbeam. He was a real saltfish and became popular with some of the girls. Nuff said.

When I played football on Bertrand's Eleven, the team engaged the Centeno squad in a few fete matches on their ground.

It was lots of fun.The great Sir. Frank Worrell and Gary Dore's father were on an opposing team.

Dela's funeral wil be at the Belgrove crematorium in Tacarigua on Tuesday, June 12th.  3:00 pm -5:00 pm. For info, call Carol at 640-0704.

With God's help , I'll be there.

On a much happier note, I wish to inform you that masman, Alan Simpson, was on Winner's row again.

His band, "We Kinda Ting" ("We Kind Of Thing"), placed first in the Atlanta Carnival which was held during the Memorial Day weekend.

Have a good weekend.

As usual,

Rodney Foster.

Hi Phillip et al,

Back home now. Manila was a mind-boggling experience for me. The people are full of smiles and courtesy although living is very challenging.  You see two extremes with just one glance, rich and poor living side by side.  There are 7,100 islands in The Phillipines. Managing this has to be a major challenge for any government. There are 2,085 guidance officers who work in schools all over these islands. 1000 of them attended the conference. 10 million people live in Manila on weekends and 12 million during the week.  2 million come into Manila to work from Monday to Friday.  Traffic is horrendous.  I am trying to make sense of this experience in relation to T & T.  There are always lessons to learn. I can only think about the thousand plus shoes that Imelda Marcos had in her closet.

Sorry that we did not get in touch so that I could have been in touch with your neice?  Stay strong and blessed Maria.

Yes Pat. 2012 is moving really fast into 2013.  Doh hustle it so fas nuh.  D birthdays comin fas too, BUT doh worry b happy.  How come yuh not in London for d Jubilee?  Maria
