Estimados Amigos y Amigas:
Me causa mucha satisfaccion poder escribir y enviarles esta nota, con una noticia que hara sentir orgullosos a los costeños y Costeñas.
Las autoridades Deportivas del pais han tomado la decision de hacer un reconocimiento publico oficial a los 40 mejores jugadores de baloncesto a nivel nacional en la historia de Nicaragua. Para ello, se establecieron criterios y parametros muy estrictos relacionados con Diciplina, Deseos de superacion, Contribucion al baloncesto, Participaciones en la selecccion nacional de baloncesto, Haber alcanzado un record personal, etc.
La gran satisfaccion que siento esta noche es de saber que el Tribunal conformado para hacer el estudio, las investigaciones y la seleccion de esos Atletas Muy Destacados del baloncesto encontraron que mas del 50% de los 40 escogidos son Costeños. Hermanos nuestros de la Costa Caribe Nicaraguense.
Entre ellos algunos de los nombres que recuerdo en estos momentos estan Herzel Gallopp, Leonardo Green, Cesar Sequeira, Leslie Coe, John Wilson, Goerge Stokousen, Hilton Lockwood, Wyman Thomas, Rodolfo Ellis(Taxi) Clifford Scott, Derick Omeir, Herman Mullins, Billy Fenton, William Mullins y otros que en estos momentos no recuerdo sus nombres como un chavalo de apellido McKenzie que esta jugando en la actualidadd. Se escogieron a 40 ademas de Sammie Lamberth que no esta incluido en la lista de los 40 porque tuvo una actuacion muy corta en el baloncesto nacional, pero se le hace una mecion especial por su destacada actuaccion durante el poco tiempo que actuo a nivel nacional antes de morir en la flor de su juventud.

Las 40 personas reconocidas que aun estan vivas recibiran un bonito Pergamino en una cena de gala que se realizara en el Hotel Las Mercedes este proximo Miercoles 11 de Diciembre a las 7:00 PM
De entre estos 40 mejores jugadores de Baloncesto en la historia de Nicaragua, se escogieron a 12 que tuvieron una participacion mas que destacada, extra ordinaria, entre ellos tambien destacan muchos Costeños.
Estos 12 Nicaraguenses recibiran el pergamino que esta hecho para cada uno de los 40 pero tambien recibiran un trofeo especial.
Pero alli no termina toda nuestra satisfaccion. Debo decir que de entre los 12 se selecciono un Dream Team Nicaraguense con los 5 que conformarian dicho "Equipo Ideal" y encontramos a dos Costeños tambien en ese listado de Super Destacados. Estos recibiran el pergamino, el trofeo especial y un anillo de oro especialmente hecho para ellos. Los cinco del equipo ideal son: Derick Omeir, Cliford Scott, Paul Arguello, Jorge Luis Ayestas y Angel Sanchez.

Esta nota se las envio a todos Ustedes para que sepan la noticia y se regocigen, pero tambien para que lo divulguen en todos los medios que tienen a sus alcances. Cuando un Costeño o Costeña se destaca, nos toca a los demas divulgarlo, celebrarlo y gozarlo. Proximamente se publicara en los periodicos y otros medios de comunicacion esta noticia con muchos detalles, estadisticas, vivencias,etc. Pero en principio yo les puedo adelantar que el record de Derick Omeir(Puta´) es de haber anotado El solito, 107 puntos en un juego. Esto sucedio en el año 1978. Que les parece? Se dice que ese record nunca lo igualará nadie.

I was recommended to visit the Moravian school site and I was really happy to see what I found , I would like to know about my school mates , I did not finish at the moravian school but when I had to leave it was impossible to leave the School behind since I have it deep down in my heart . I am really proud and greatful I had the opportunity of assisting to moravian school , I will never forget teachers as :

Thelma Tomm
(first year Kinder teacher) I'll never forget the accident I had been there, and of course the way my teacher took me in her arms and made me feel safe , Mom wasn't there but she was there and the pain was eased . Never play with the window again, bet I obeyed theacher after what happen .

Also, in a news item in the El Nuevo Diario, I learned that Abdul Sirker, the brother of Nancy Sirker, class of 1951, passed away in Managua. He did his primaria at the colegio, and graduated from the Colegio Bautista.

Good afternoon,
My name is Johann Newball. I am Ludric Newball's oldest son. I was surfing the NET and began to think about my father. I typed in his name on Google and was very surprised to see this site. I can't believe it. I came to Washington DC in 1986 and that was the last time I would ever see my father. He died the following year and to this day I have never seen were he was buried. My mother Loudell Robb Newball showed me pictures of his funeral which looked more like a parade of hundreds maybe thousands of people. He has a street named after our last name in San Andres, Colombia, and I would like to share information I know about him and my 2 younger brothers Jeffrey and Jeremy Newball.

I congratulate and thank the Moravo Alumni officers, Ms. Nubia Chow and any others who may have contributed in having this website created. Well done!

I am a graduate of the class of 1976. Since graduation I have seen Justina Jiménez, Maureen Sing, Maria de Los Angeles Quant, Ida Stephenson, Sandra Bowie, Mary Grace Cayaso, Marakay Ludwick, Hebzibah Brooks, Steve Hooker, Dwight Hodgson, Jorge Chong, Loida Webster, and Giovanni Cantero. I lost contact with all other classmates. My e-mail address is dariv@candw.ky

I look forward to hearing from my fellow classmates and friends. All the best,

Hi,
I think it is wonderful that you have set up this webpage. I can see some great ideas coming from this.
I did not graduate from Colegio Moravo Secundaria but did graduate from Primaria - don't remember the year but some of my classmates were Deanna Siu, Sylvia Byers, Nancy Fong, Orlando Escorcia, Victor Mairena. And I was one of the "Shimer Children". Here is my e-mail address: gina.siu@rcn.com. After I immigrated to the USA in 1965, my brother Richard Siu recommended I be called Gina since most people could not pronounce Higinia. It would be really nice to hear from some of my classmates who I have not mentioned or their children. It would be nice to know their whereabout. I lost contact with Sylvia Byers and Marta Green Lumbi - their phone numbers have changed somewhere here in California. Thanks. Gina
