I like Linda's suggestion that we could all aim to contribute to the blog in creative ways by sending pieces we have written etc. This would enliven the spirit (and the brain as Linda says) and relieve some of the depression that comes from hearing of colleagues who have passed on. Many people I'm sure still have a great deal of literary talent to offer.

Hi Errol,

I hope all is well. Thanks again for keeping us in touch with each other.

PLANNING HAS STARTED AND IS ON-GOING!!!

The committee has been meeting since before the Brunch, where overwhelming support was expressed for Reunion 2015 to be held at an all-inclusive resort. The islands suggested were narrowed down and we had to wait on the release of prices for July 2015. These became available this month.

Details are being finalized with a long-standing travel agency who we are certain will negotiate an acceptable package comparable to previous reunions. Rest assured that the final cost/details will be posted as soon as we are satisfied with the arrangements eg. payment schedules, ground transfers, optional tours, opening function, dinner on the last night..

BE SAFE AND START GETTING YOURSELVES TOGETHER FOR JULY 2015!!!

Angela McAlister

Hi Errol, 

I am in the process of preparing a Recognition Board for10 anniversary celebrations at  UTT. I want to highlight the transition from the Teachers College to UTT. Mrs Cuffie was the 1st Principal of VTC. I need bio data about her. Do you have that. If you have it please send it to me.

Best regards,

RE: Living Our Legacy

My Fellow Mausicans,

It's 2:40 a.m. Monday in Atlanta, GA.

I couldn't sleep. I was tossing and turning. I was dreaming about our 2015 reunion and decided to get up and share my thoughts about this event.

I read the Daily Word. It said, "A whisper of inspiration guides my thoughts and actions as I drift to new experiences, ways of thinking and patterns of living. I am ready for new horizons."

My Fellow Mausicans, let us have our reunion in sweet TNT. Here are my random thoughts. It will be bigger and better than going overseas. The templates of a TNT reunion are already in place.  Let's make some changes here and there.  Let's solicit corporate, group and individual sponsorship to underwrite some of the costs. Yes, many Mausicans are now on fixed income. No more"$330.00, adjusted for inflation and increments over the years. We have spent millions of dollars with Carib, Stag, Angostura, Fernandes, WITCO, Maritime, Guardian Life, Cannings, Neal and Massy, HiLo, Tru Value, Southern Sales, Ishmael Khan, Kentucky and so many more businesses. It's time dey run something. The Guapo Beach Facility should be finished by now. Skip the breakfast in San Fernando Hill. De Point possee will be happy to have us again to show off their new facility. Let's give the remains of Mausica a decent burial. Organize a Grell Cup clean up. Paint a mural in the auditorium. Lay a memorial plaque. Inform, via the blog, about the planning meetings. New heads, eyes and ears could bring new ideas and solutions to the process. What is the projected budget for Reunion 2015? How can we reduce the costs per capita. Can we stage a Variety Concert at the Performing Arts Center or other venue to offset some of the costs, make a profit and Leave a Financial Legacy.

Mausicans mastered "Thinking Outside The Box". We can still do it today. Let's continue "Living Our Legacy" so that we could leave a lasting legacy.

Aye, hear nah man, is 3:28 a.m. Ah goin an sleep. I'll be in TNT 10/9 thru 10/22. Ah comin for my great aunt's 100th birthday party, in Point. Gizmo, Bernice, Ray and Cutty we go fire one.

As usual,

Rodney Foster, 66-68.

How I wish we could open up the blog to new creative pieces from all of us. Observations on daily life can help us keep the brain alive. I have retrieved(actually the techie in my friends office did) all the written material from my Vista that died, but putting the thumbnail sized disc in and downloading a piece seems like a waste since no one seems to care.

What lessons has life taught us in addition to waiting for death? I for one, would like to hear.

Hi Fellow Mausicans,

Kamal shared the news of Gemma Rambally's (72-74) passing. She was always "prim and propper" the complete opposite to this "wreckeh Seceh" Tobagonian. My prayesrs and thoughts are with the family.

I am voting again for Montego Bay...........time to stop voting and start planning soon.

Muy Interesante, there was only one posting on the blog this past week.  What is the message here?  In these days in my beloved country, withdrawal of enthusiam and non-participation could be sending the message that there is a "silent protest" or a "retreat."  What's up peeps?

To the Perryman family, which gave Mausica two of its members, please be assured that our prayers are with you as you continue to journey without Daddy.  He and my Dad were friends in my very early years.  A jovial man, who had a hearty laugh.  In those days Daddy always had friends over at times to imbibe, and I remember Mr. Perryman. My dad is now 89 and really slowing down after a stroke and hip replacement, but rallying on.  I know what it feels like to see parents who were once so active and always on the move and independent become inactive and dependent.  Those of us in this position have to go down into our gut and gather strength from that GOD-place.  Take care all and I do hope that the reunion arrangement are settled soon.   Maria

Greetings all. I have never visited Montserrat, and from all accounts it is a beautiful  island. However, after researching  it, and chatting with a relative who visited Montserrat twice, ( pre and post eruption) I am convinced that it is not THE venue for the 2015 reunion. I fully endorse Jamaica  as the venue for 2015.
