Re: MAUSICA WEEKLY EMAILS 2022-MAR-11

We send our condolences  to the family of our dear Sister Mausican Patricia  Adelaide Small (yr  1971 - '73). "Pat" as she was lovingly called, was the epitomy of fitness in Netball, Basketball  and Athletics, defending  her Hostel Kirkendale, and representing  Mausica  Teachers' College. She was indeed, a very cheerful all rounder who socialized well with her colleagues, influenced many and was much appreciated. We were saddened by her passing, but consoled by knowing  that she fought a great  fight, finished the race with flying  colours, and so completed her mission on  earth.

The Celebration of her life/funeral was held on Friday  11th March  2022. I must  compliment her daughter  for an excellent eulogy  that fully  described  the outstanding  characteristics  of her mother. Family and friends  etc who supported, gave Pat a well deserved "Send off". May God grant  her Eternal life and  let perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace, Amen 🙏 . Yours sincerely  P. Phelps on behalf of  Kirkendalians and other Mausicans of yr group 1971 -1973.

Patricia Phelps-Scott 73

Rodney, talking bout renting tile, I just want to reflect on the idea of "lady excuse me", and "gentleman excuse me" dance (set), and to say that I do not recall if anybody ever intervened on the dance floor so that I would dance with her instead. I can't remember any girl ever taking any such risk to dance with me. Was I not worth the risk?

On the other hand,I tried many times to interrupt sets via "gentleman excuse me", but almost all of the times the male would not budge,and in Mausica, if a man indicated that he was not interested in allowing his dance partner to dance with someone who touched him on his shoulder, it was not a good idea to persist.

Some men just did not like to participate in "gentlemen excuse me". They not letting go of their dance partner. Nosense of humour at all. They possessive...and want to rent tile.

But sometimes it was Harry Joe himself touching you on your shoulder. What you going to do then?

Scratchy.
