Thanks for the news, Val.
I never knew Tommy, but of course, I’d heard about him
since I was a boy at MSB.
He’s in a much better place now, thank God, and we’ll
see him again some day.
May his soul rest in peace.
Nigel

Arthur's good school buddy...from Mt. St. Benedict,
Tommy Jardim passed away peacefully on Monday, May 11th.
Another old boy with the Good Lord!
We just came back from the visitation and his wife
Joan, and his six daughters were in good spirits as they know he was at peace.
All the best,

Clarificacion sobre Carlos Korda.

No sabia los detalles...
Como vi unas fotos en uno de los
circulares de Ladislao de una reunion en un restaurante en Caracas donde
estaban Urbano Von Fedak, y Ladislao Kertesz y tambien vi a Gabriel Hoefle,
entre otros mas etc, yo pense que fue una de las reuniones que tuvieron donde
tu tambien eabas. Bueno, no importa.
Entonces, tal vez Ladislao Kertesz. nos puede
ayudar con esto, preguntandole a Gabriel Hoefle para clarificar lo del apellido
Korda vs Hoefle y lo de Carlos Korda, hijo del viejo Francisco
Korda. (?)
(El papa de Carlos Korda, se llamaba
Francisco Korda (R.I.P.), uno de los dueños de Korda Modas.)
En fin... re-leyenedo tu email; me doy cuenta
de que hay una confusión con lo de Carlos Dvorak y los Korda (Hoefle) y entre
Korda Modas y Casa Dvorak.
Las tiendas de ropa Korda Modas hay una en el
centro, habia una Sabana Grande, habia una en la Francisco de Miranda (creo) y
algunas en el interior, pero ninguna en Chacao. Nunca hubo un Korda Modas en
Chacao.....Lo que habia en Chacao era un negocio de antiguedades llamado CASA DVORAK (por la
cual yo estaba preguntando)... que no tenia nada que ver con Korda Modas.
Es mas, estoy casi seguro que las dos
familias: los Hoefle (Korda) y los Dvorak son estan relacionadas ni se conocen
personalmente.
Los Hoefle (Korda) son de descendencia
Hungara y los Dvorak son de descendencia Checa. En el Mount yo estaba amigos
con Guillermo Dvorak (el del medio) y Miguel Dvorak (el menor de los 3
hermanos).. . En Venezuela yo estaba de amigos con la familia Hoefle. Asi que
los conocia a todos.
El mayor, Carlos Dvorak, al que llamabamos
"Popo" por la cara de payaso, (te acuerdas?) era uno de los
sub-jefes de tropa en los Scouts, siempre estaba enfrente al lado de Fr.
Cuthbert. . Creo que tenia como unos 20 años y estaba en el Mount. (?)
Attila
I did not know the details ...
As I saw some pictures in one of the circular of
Ladislao of a meeting at a restaurant in Caracas where Von Urban Fedak was, and
Ladislao Kertesz and also saw Gabriel Hoefle, among other more etc, I thought
it was at one of the meetings where you were too. Well never mind.
Then perhaps Ladislao Kertesz you can help us with
this, asking Gabriel Hoefle to clarify what the name Hoefle vs Korda and Carlos
Korda, son of the old Francis Korda. (?)
Anyway ... re-reading your email; I realize that there
is a confusion with Carlos Dvorak and Korda (Hoefle) and between Korda Home
Fashions and Dvorak.
There was one clothing store Korda Modas in the center. There was a Sabana Grande, and there was one
in the Francisco de Miranda (I think) and some inside, but none in Chacao.
There was never a Korda Modas in Chacao ..... what was in Chacao was an antique
store called CASA DVORAK (why I was asking) ... he had nothing to do with
Fashion Korda.
What's more, I am almost certain that the two
families: Hoefle (Korda) and Dvorak are related or know each other personally.
The Hoefles (Kordas) are of Hungarian descent and
Dvoraks are of Czech descent. At the
Mount I was friends with Guillermo Dvorak (middle) and Miguell Dvorak (the
youngest of the three brothers) ... In Venezuela I was friends with the family
Hoefle. So I knew them all.
The eldest, Carlos Dvorak, who we called
"Popo", or clown's face, (remember?) was one of the sub-commanders of
troops in the Scouts, he was always in front next to Fr. Cuthbert. . I think I
was like about 20 years and was at the Mount. (?)

years, Gabriel Hoefle has never appeared

Bueno, Yo se algo de lo de Korda
Modas. Los dueños de las tiendas Korda Modas eran tres hermanos.
Cuando todavia era joven y guapo
(en los 70's) yo estuve de novios con la hija (Lucy Hoefle, quien ahora vive en
Houston TX con su esposo venezolano) de uno de los tres hermanos propietarios
de los Korda Modas de la tienda de el Silencio.
El apellido real de de ellos no
es Korda sino Hoefle.
Son todos de descendencia judia Hungara. Usaban el nombre de Korda como
un pesudonimo.
Carlos " Korda" no era hijo consaguineo de ellos, segun me acuerdo. No entiendo
muy bien como le llego eso de "Korda" como apellido. Tal vez si le
preguntas a Gabriel Hoefle alli en Caracas. Tu recién estuviste reunido con
ellos en el restaurante italiano, no?
Well, I know something of Fashion Korda . The shop
owners were Korda Modas three brothers.
When I was still young and handsome in the 70s) I was
dating the daughter (Lucy Hoefle, who now lives in Houston TX with her
Venezuelan husband) of one of the three brothers owners of Korda Fashion store
located in El Silencio.
The actual name of them is not Korda but Hoefle . They
are all of Hungarian Jewish descent. Korda
used the name as a pseudonym.
Carlos "Korda " was not their son, according
to what I remember. I do not quite
understand this as I knew this one by the name "Korda”. Maybe you can ask Gabriel Hoefle there in
Caracas. You recently were together with
them at the Italian restaurant, right?

Todo lo que tu cuentas sobre
Carlos Korda es correcto. acuérdate que le preguntamos hace un par de años a
Carlos Dvorak sobre Korda Modas en Chacao y nos dijo que ya no existía. Me
parece que la tienda grande de Korda Modas en El Silencio aún existe.
De todas maneras Carlos Korda y
Carlos Dvorak (ambos de descendencia checa) son familia, me parece que son
primo hermanos los dos.
Desde que Carlos Dvorak esta
trabajando de tesorero con uno de los Cantore en Anaco ya ni le da tiempo para
escribir como lo hacía antes cuando estaba al frente de Mirko Internacional en
Maiquetia.
Everything you wrote about Carlos Korda is correct.
Remember we asked a couple of years ago Carlos Dvorak about Korda Modas in
Chacao and he said that it was no more. I think the largest store Korda Modas in El
Silencio still exists.
Anyway, Carlos Korda and Carlos Dvorak (both of Czech
descent) are family, I think they are cousins, sons of two brothers.
Since then Carlos Dvorak is working as treasurer with
one of the Cantores in Anaco and has no time to write as he did before when he
was at the head of Mirko Maiquetia International .

Dear Jan:
Here is a correction and some name additions to
this photo (see attached). Please could you incorporate it with your Photoshop
magic? I am sending you two copies of the same Prep A 1964-1965 photo. This is a photo of
which I have the original.
One is captioned, the other one is the original scan
without the captions but better resolution. Maybe you can use the higher
resolution picture and put the names in it without losing any of the
resolution?
Imagine: I just talked personally with Rommel Rosero
(since 1978!). He called me out of the
blue on my cell phone all the way from Venezuela! We chatted and
reminisced for about half an hour. He
said he would be sending some pictures of the family and kids. I will forward
them when I get them.
Anyway, he confirmed that #22 is indeed Carlos KORDA (not
Carlos Hoefle)
Here are the corrections and additions:
# 22 - change name from Carlos Hoefle to Carlos Korda.
# 17 - add name: Michael Torry (brother to Kevin)
# 18 - add name: Kevin Torry (brother to Michael)
(personal note: they look so different that I am
pretty sure they must be "stepbrothers")
# 2 - add name: Gary
Romeo (R.I.P.)
We will keep on slowly correcting until we get
all the correct and full names for everybody yet!
Thanks,
Attila Gyurís

Attila,
Que tal ! La verdad que no tengo
memoria, por supuesto tu eres inconfundible !
Quizás Oscar .... pero seguro que
Gonzalo y Fulvio no tienen ni idea, Raúl sabrá ?
Oscar esta de viaje en Panamá por
estos días y no creo que por el BB pueda tener la nitidez de la fotografía.
How are you! The truth is that I do not remember. Of course, you are unmistakable!
Maybe Oscar . . . but surely Gonzalo and Fulvio have
no idea? Raul may know?
Oscar is traveling in Panama these days and does not
think the BB may have the sharpness of the picture.
Un abrazo,
Alfredo.
