RE: Reunion Time 2023

We are almost there.

On July 17th we shall gather at the "river of remembrance " to indulge ourselves in good old fashion bantering and Picong. It is the right thing to do.

Some 51 years after entering Mausica, my life, and that of those who are close to me, has been enriched because of those experiences. How can you explain to sane people that is was quite acceptable to lean out of your window, in the middle of the night, and hurl expletives across the campus. In fact, some people looked forward to hearing the announcements on the "radio station".

On a serious note, on May 10th or 12th, we received a payment of $2050. without an assigned name. If this is you, please contact sjw500@gmail.com for further information. Another payment from CITI Bank, Ireland for $2050. was also received without an assigned name.

This is Mayfair Mansion Radio Station signing off.

So sad to hear of Peggy's passing. She was a delightful soul, friendly and happy always. I can hear her voice as it echoed through the halls of Kirkendale ahead of her presence. May her soul rest in eternal peace.

Mausica has lost one of her pioneers. Bro. Lutus Moses is not with us anymore on this side. He passed away after a very brief illness. I  saw him a few weeks ago and he was all excited to meet and greet those who were coming for the reunion. Rest in peace my brother.

RE: Five Weeks to Reunion 2023

2023-JUN-09-0341Hrs

Fellow Mausicans,

Its almost time to meet and greet each other for our first gathering after the pandemic. Its not too late to participate in one or more of the activities. I cannot wait to host you when we gather for the Tobago leg of the gathering.

If you have paid monies to the bank, please contact Sheila Warner  - sjw500@gmail.com - with a copy of your receipt. We have funds that have been deposited into the account with no names attached. To our overseas based alumni, the exchange rate differs from day to day, therefore some of deposits are a few dollars short. We will rectify this once we meet.

Looking forward to breaking bread again....while we can.

Congratulations to all my Second Year colleagues who terrorized me and other Freshers of the 1972-74 cohort. This is fifty years since left us to carry the Mausica flag with pride. We learned well from you how the initiation thing went. The DJ Springfield, the Worm and even the cleaning of the garden with the razor blade. Happy Half a century of moulding a nation. You should feel proud of those who nurtured you - the Cuff, Ms. Hordatt, Fanny Roopchand, Mr. Maundy, Mr. Douglass and others. Enjoy the last quarter of your life. God has been good to you. Give Him praise.

MAUSICA CLASS 1971 – ’73 WILL BE CELEBRATING OUR 50TH ANNIVERSARY this year 2023 since we graduated in 1973. Sincere Congratulations to our brothers and sisters. WE THANK GOD FOR INTELLIGENCE, HEALTH, STRENGTH and PERSEVERANCE to pursue such a humble yet honorable career. May God continue to bless us with that love to assist the children/people of Trinidad and Tobago and humanity as a whole wherever we have been sent.

P.S. Dear Errol, Thank you very much for the year list of students that you printed some years ago. Can you print/scan the list of 1973 graduates on this blog for us in your kindness. It can become a precedent or a tradition from now to print the 50th anniversary and 60th of the others. I am sure it will be greatly appreciated. Thanking you in advance.                                     Hostel Reps can email the lists from their hostels of 1973 graduates and photos.

RE: The Legacy

2023-MAY-18-1418Hrs

Hi Fellow Mausicans,

I know that many of you are planning to attend at least one of the activities of the upcoming reunion, "Beyond Friendship.....".  There are others who are unable to attend because of previous commitments and/or mobility issues. We are going to miss those who are absent and, we will celebrate our common bonds.

There is another way to continue these celebrations long after we are gone. Keep the legacy going by making a pledge to the Mausica Teachers' College Fund (awaiting recognition from the Registrar's Office), and help to continue "Moulding a Nation Through Service".

There are various ways you can contribute to the fund:

    > One time contribution.

    > Monthly contributions.

    > Make the Fund one of the beneficiaries of your Insurance policy.

    > Take out an insurance policy and make the Fund the beneficiary.

    > Leave a percentage of your estate, or part thereof, to the fund.

Whether you are able to join us at Reunion 2023 "Beyond Friendship....." or not,  you can still leave your impact on the education of our nation's youths.

Plegde information will be available during the reunion celebrations.

RE: "It's left to us."

2023-MAY-05-0105Hrs

My Fellow Mausicans,

Yesterday, I attended a graduation at Georgia State University in Atlanta. While waiting on the graduate, Cyd-Marie Allette, Marjorie's cousin, I observed one of  MLK 's quotations: "It's left to us."

You are so right Scratchy, Mausica is not dead. Our seeds are scattered all over the world and we are still planting. Remember the scientific fact, "Matter can never be created nor destroyed."

Last week; I chatted briefly with comedian, Errol Fabien. I reminded him of my interview on Gayelle, many moons ago.

Errol would welcome Mausicans to share our stories on his shows.

Therefore, graduates from all year groups  should call the media and inform the worlld about our beloved MTC.

Call Wack Radio and request "Go, Go Calypso".

When Cox and Aqui went to Brighton EC, La Brea, my room-mate, Leroy Cox, from de Coconut in El Socoro, hook up with Solid Seven, a combo that Geezmo had introduced to MTC. The tune was on the charts for a long, long time.

By de way, how is big sister Paddy,  of Lu Lu fame. Ask Felix if she" feint" or "faint."

Doh forget Vernon Langdon and Kay singing "Yellow Bird", Carlsbury's solo in "Come Leh We Go" and , of course, Brother Elmo Philip, Sweet man Doh Ray. Trevor Davis wit he stringban of chirren dat make Bernice Placide get thin. Yes,  La Porrinden we learn in  Dominica in 1967.

Memories, Memories, It's revival time!  Mausica is not dead.

Prepare fuh ah Karookee night in Tabago.

Carlston and Ritchie bringing de fish broth wit nuff dumplin.

As usual,
