Oh Brenda,
Sounds as if you all had a great time. I should have been there. I love New York really, really, really. You look great. Sounds like a gr8 time was had by all.
Errol, I met another Mausican who wishes to be included on the mailing list. Some of you in the '67-'69 year group may remember Fazal Hosein. His email address is hofa32@yahoo.com
Grenada is meeting. Have not heard any dates yet, but I have promised to help get the t'shirts done in Trinidad, seems that it will be cheaper. Exploring options with them. Waiting to hear from them about this. I am sure in my next correspondence, dates will be forthcoming.

Well, it's no big deal on both counts. Firstly, although I'm still brand new here in Cuba, and therefore not really in a position to speak with authority on the possibilities of a visit, I suspect that planning for one (given our capacity) can be accomplished without too much stress.
Secondly, I guess that anything that was planted so many years ago to a privileged "few" by Harry Joe and the Cuff and Fitzie the Warden and all the other mentor/teachers in MTC and life in the Haven and rivals in the other hostels and treasured friends on the other side of the tennis courts and some good chessing really ought to be considered "special". But then again, it so "common" to all of us! Nothing so "special" after all.
Keep up the great work Errol. And much love all.

Hi Errol,
It is with interest and pride that we should congratulate Efobo for being chosen to represent T&T in Cuba. His dear wife, Lucille, told me about the achievement some time ago, but I've waited to be sure that he will really accept the position.
One of our fellows is now an ambassador. Congratulations Efobo. May you continue to shine and make us feel prouder to be Mausican. God bless.

Hi! Errol,
Having reviewed the listing that you sent me, there is no need for me to send you my Mausica list. Generally, except for the few minor differences which I point out below, your list and mine, are in agreement.
Summary of differences:
Period: Errol's List: VS. Es. List:
1965 #15- Bernadeth Williams Magnell Williams
#78-Madge Stuart Not on Es. list
#85-Monica Birch Annette Birch
#94- Phillis Hinds Nola Hinds
P.S I did not have the other year groups before, so thanks for sending them also.

Hi! Errol,
For some years now, I have been in possession of the full listing of the yr.1965 Mausica Graduating class - ( our pioneer group}, and I also have the same for our 'First Year' group,--the yr.-1966 graduating class. As the mastermind behind the Mausica web site, and the person who has taken on the responsibility for the dissemination of Mausica related informatio, you might be interested in having this comprehensive and full listing of all names. The listing is too much and too long for me to send by e-mail. If you would like a copy, please e-mail me your mailing address and I will dispatch a copy to you promptly. In the meantime, keep up the fine job that you have been doing in keeping us (former Mausicans) informed.

I am circulating Anna Maria's message to Guyanese friends here. Can we go to Cuba before 2010?... I don't know why I have this "urgency of now" and find that 2010 will be beyond my possiblities. I would like to know more about Efebo who sounds really special.
Re Mausica: I believe it is an Amerindian word but we never found out what it meant. Antigua was called Wadadli ,but no one there can say why. Montserrat is ALLIOUAGANA , land of the prickly bush ( acacia which we call CUSHA} Iused to think it was about the Prickly Pear ( Ratchette in Trinidad but was told otherwise)
So Hillary wants to be Barack's VP??? Sounds Very Poisonous to me!

Hi My Peeeple!
How are you all doing? Was in Guyana doing trauma work with the families of the victims of the two " massacres" in Lusignan and Bartica. Guyana "The Land of Many Waters" is so beautiful and so full of potential. If there is a drought they can supply the world with water and their immense rain forests can help to supply the world with oxygen for many years. It is such a beautiful place, but POLITICIANS, POLITICIANS, POLITICIANS, they are beginning to flabbergast me daily. We really cannot depend on them. We have to do whatever needs to be done for our families and communities.
Those Mausicans in the 1968-1970 year group, must remember Sue Badan. I met her recently at the ScienceTechnoFest at the NIHERST Science Musuem. She is retired and keeping up to date with Life, so she was managing the activities. Remember she was a Science major. She gave me her email and would like to be included on the mailing list. She is now Sue Badan Singh.
Her email is suepbs2000@hotmail.com Another Mausican who would like to come to Grenada.
I also had an idea, that since Efebo is now the Ambassador to Cuba for the next five years ( I understand, maybe we can have the next reunion in Cuba. What do you all think? Hi Efebo! If you are seeing this. What do you think? Am I being presumptious?
Please someone tell me about Gerry? Conrad, I hope that this is just a rumour. Now seeing this because I was not here. Please tell me what is happening?
Met a girl called Mausica. REALLY, that is her name. Thought that her parents were Mausicans but they are not. Her grandmother is of Spanish background and gave her that name. She said that it means, "Life is full of Music", or something like that. This got me to thinking about the name Mausica, maybe it really means this, because we Mausicans are full of music. Music surrounded us at Mausica. Anybody knows another meaning?

Very distressed about the CAPE exam scandal in Tand T. Think of the shattered September dreams of so many students who may have to defer their University studies... and the headache of rescheduling exams! SHAME, SHAME, SHAME!

This, that … and the other
I’ve been so caught up in reading a lot of good stuff that comes to us through MConline that I felt it was time to make a contribution, some of my concerns and thoughts on things in general.
Have you noticed how Chief Ministers and Ministers of Government in office seem oblivious to concerns which the general public try to bring to their notice, only to experience the great awakening when they are out of their comfort zone? How many administrations have we gone through since 1986 when Government was mandated to send contributions to Social security on behalf of Civil Servants? And now the same people seem to be only now realising that non- established workers have been a concern of the Civil Service Association for ages now!. What did they even TRY to do about those things? Think about it.
Last October I made a general plea for volunteers to beef up the Special Olympics Association on Montserrat… trainers, fundraisers, transporters, mentors… the list is long and the need is real. I got a positive response from the Optimists and from a member of the Youth Parliament. So far so good, but we need broader commitment. The association exists to serve all persons with special needs on the island, not only the few who are in school. Even if all some of them can do is look on at some of the activities, this gives an added dimension to their lives. We would be thrilled to see the families of all these persons coming out to give their support and give special value to the lives of their children and other relatives.
We want to organise a white elephant sale to raise funds. A white elephant in this case, is an item of some value for which the owner has no use but which another person could put to good use. If you would pass on such items to Special Olympics Montserrat we would be most grateful.
I have been following the election campaign in the USA… whatever eventually happens there will affect us and the rest of the world so I am very interested.
Before I knew Barack Obama and indeed before I came to realise that I did not really know Hillary Clinton, I could see her as the next President of the United States of America. It has been so disappointing to watch her antics in the mad scramble for the nomination. She signed a pledge not to benefit from premature Primaries… this was when she thought the nomination was already in the bag and that no one could stop the coronation. Now she wants the illegal votes… no thought has been given to all those persons in Michigan and Florida who played by the rules and did not go out to vote… only HER votes count! Her vivid memory of sniper fire in Bosnia of which she spoke on more than one occasion… an event which NEVER happened, was absolutely shocking. Her supporters seem to have passed this off as a series of “senior moments “.
The much touted Dream Ticket would be Obama’s greatest nightmare. How could Hillary Clinton have a running mate whom she keeps on saying is inexperienced and not ready to lead… remember the “heartbeat away from the Presidency “ ? Bill and Hillary could spend Obama’s first 4 years in the White House trying to bring him down. Barack Obama would need eyes all around him to dodge sniper attacks! Why does this campaign within the Democratic Party make me keep thinking of Shakespeare’s MACBETH ? Roll on November. I need my sleep!
