RE: Happy 57th Anniversary, Sweet TNT.

My Fellow Mausicans,
“Together We Aspire. Together we Achieve.”
Last Saturday, August 24th, The Trinidad & Tobago Association of Georgia, Inc, demonstrated the power of our country’s motto. We hosted a wonderful and enjoyable Scholarship Awards and Dinner Dance at the Pametto Event Center in Decatur, GA.  Under the leadership of Hazel Mitchell, President, and supportive members, we had a ball.
Rakuumba Nedd , a teacher and renowned artist, coined the theme for the program, “Let the Past Set the Stage for a Brighter Tomorrow.” Keynote Speaker, Stephanie Power, delivered a powerful and inspiring address. Sekel Mc Intosh, TNT Junior Soca Monarch, guest of Alan Nottingham, was fantastic. Vanessa Weekes, of Step by Step Caterers, provided a scrumptious dinner.
Of course, there were Mausicans. Alan Simpson from Grandee and a former president, celebrated his birthday. There was a scholarship in memory of our brother, Melsher Snaggs.  Marissa Williams and Rodney Foster were the MCs for the gala affair.
So long for now my friends.
As usual,
Rodney Foster 66-68

RE: Mausica folk songs

2019-AUG-23-2134Hrs
Fellow Mausicans:
I was looking online (You-Tube) for Mausica folk songs recently, and I found only a rendering of "Christina". I was wondering (as Andre Stephens of Mayfair would say) whether that cannot be a project someone with the wherewithal can take on. Get all of the music on those LPs onto Youtube.
La Petite Musical has beaten us to that. They have some music on the net. I recently was looking for their "mangoes", but also played their very lovely "Every time ah pass".

Finbar,
Thank you for talking about Mucurapo Boys' R.C. It brought back many memories as this was the first school in which I taught (😊1962-63). That was just before I went to Mausica. ðŸ˜Š

RE: Post by Kathleen Luke-Brizan July 2019

2019-AUG-02-1021Hrs
Fellow Mausicans,
As a fellow member of year group 65-67, I fully endorse all sentiments expressed by Kathleen Luke-Brizan (known to me as Cherry Percival-Luke)in her email of July 30th,2019. I must confess though, that I did not remember July 29th as our graduation day. I guess Cherry remembered as the Sunday following graduation, was a momentous day in her life. Cherry, you took me down memory lane. Your memory is fantastic. Mausica was truly an experience like no other - a coming-of-age for many of us.
Re-quoting Cherry-
"and most importantly, the long-lasting relationships developed with our fellow students as colleagues, friends, husbands and wives, And I could go on and on. Yes, Mausica truly impacted our lives richly and unforgettably with experiences ….. I'm proud to have been a part of that era."
I could not have said it better myself.
Sorry, I could not make the Cuba trip. Seems as if you all had a great time.  As our numbers dwindle, we need to keep the love flowing, by living in love and keeping in touch with each other.
Love & Blessings

I join with all my fellow Mausica graduates of 65-67 year group to celebrate fifty-two years of becoming graduate teachers on July 29th
The significance of this day is never forgotten although we are now retirees. My experience at Mausica will always be cherished .Teaching Practice , Initiation when the girls were targeted by second year males to serve them breakfast and lunch.  The assembly performances, Harry Joseph ringing the bell for the ladies to hurry to the parties so he could dance. The girls running to hide in the washroom to escape  dancing with him, The long nights of recording for our first album,  The choir's long journeys to remote country areas to perform and the singimg in the bus everytime.  The Inter hostel sports with  CarverScobie starring in a clip showing his marching skills which was repeatedly played to the  laughter of those looking on, the Carnival competitions ,the calypsoes like Tootoowa amd Modern maths.  the choir's command performance for Dr Eric Williams and Kenneth Kaunda ,Prime Minister of Zambia ,  Our winning the Champion Folk song Choir Trophy at Music Festival,the lecturers, Mr Hamlyn Dukhan and Joseph Mangatal , The Warden,  Mrs Cuffie and Connie Roopchand.  Remember Matron and the locusts?  How about Mr John Estok the Canadian lecturer dancing in a line across  the room with his wife? Our exposure to the arts , Miriam Makeba , the African Ballet  and others whose names I cant recall.  And most importantly, the long lasting relatioships developed with our fellow students as colleagues, friends, husbands and wives, And I could go on and on. Yes Mausica truly impacted our lives richly and unforgettably with experiences
we were able to pass on in some way to our children and students. I'm proud  to have been a part of that era.
