Present members’ pen-portraits

George dei Conti Stagno Navarra, Immediate Past President, was born at Balzan on the 6^th  day of July 1944 , and is  the sixth child of a family of  ten, made up of four brothers and five sisters.

He grew up in a quaint village and continues to carry the childhood memories of a serene village life that has always given to him great satisfaction in his life journey. He started his education in a Government primary school at Lija and then passed an entrance examination to start his secondary higher education at  The Lyceum in Hamrun.  From late fifties to early sixties, George has studied at the Liceo until he obtained his GCE “O” Level passes in 1962. At a later stage he also studied and passed accountancy examinations which helped him in no small way during his working career.

In 1963 he joined the firm C. & H. Bartoli Bros which later became a limited liability company and continued to expand and increase its work force.   He has worked for the same firm until his retirement in 2008, both in the import sector as well as the insurance arm of the same company which saw him reach his retirement in the post of Executive Sales Manager.  From a junior insurance clerk operating from a tiny office in Valletta, George’s ambition saw him first become an insurance surveyor and assessor for motor, marine and other lines in the insurance sector that has taken him to greater heights within the insurance field. The Bartoli Company continued to expand and George very successfully started a sales and marketing exercise which enabled him to put a few million pounds of different products in the local as well as the foreign markets. The last ten years before reaching retirement age, George had often travelled and tapped the Libyan market which rendered large orders. He had originally started his working career in insurance. In later years it saw him go back to his books, studying for a Thatcham Motor Surveyor’s diploma which ended successfully in the year 2000 after two years of intensive studying and graduation.  After his retirement from sales, he now still works for Elmo Insurance Ltd an associate company of C. & H. Bartoli Ltd.  Motorcars have always been his greatest passion whilst rendering a service with the insurance surveying.  It keeps him active and busy to the present day.  George loves DIY and he often picks his tools to tackle odd jobs around the home and his motor car of course.  Writing poetry in Maltese and English inspires him to put together in a book someday,  all the short poems that have been scribbled over the years.   Perhaps, the best thing that happened in his life and which he recommends to everyone, was the day when he gave up  smoking in 1978  and which made him  feel much healthier ever since.

For a number of years George had served in the ‘ Kings Own Malta Regiment’ up to the time when the territorial army was disbanded in 1972. Of course, he still carries great memories from his younger days as a soldier and remains active in the K.O.M.R. association. Although numbers keep dwindling because of old age, George attends to most events that are organized each year when soldiers meet and recall the good old territorial week-end training camps and ceremonial parades that were held at the army barracks in Fort St Elmo Valletta as well as Ghajn Tuffieha.

George is also a member of The Catenian Association of Malta ( Mensija Circle 294) and has served on its council as Chamberlain and also as Vice President.

Worth mentioning, George helps in the San Girgor Parish / Sliema where he resides. Lesson readings during Holy Mass and other ecclesiastical ceremonies remain his favourite week-end chores that helps keep him closer within the Roman Catholic community.

It is to be noted that, George is a founder-member of ALPS. When the Association was in its infancy he was too busy with frequent working trips abroad. In 1996 he became an active member and was elected to the Council of Administration for the first time in 1997, having since filled various posts as deemed necessary. That included his contribution within the ALPS choir that has undertaken a number of performances to celebrate Foundation Date and other important events that go down in glorious pages within the association history books.  George was elected to hold the association Presidency after the death of the founder president Dr. Guido Saliba and up to the last elections in 2016, he remains uncontested and continues to lead The Association of Lyceum Past Students ( Ghaqda Ex-Studenti Liceo )

George  married Madeleine née Mifsud in June 1969. The couple have a son and three daughters – Karl, Rebecca, and twin daughters Petra and Camilla – and are the proud grandparents to Matthew, Valentina, Faye and Julian.

 David Abela, Treasurer, was born in Msida on 2nd August 1945. He was admitted to The Lyceum    in Hamrun in 1956 and left from Form VI in 1962, after achieving his GCE at Ordinary and Advanced Levels in languages and mathematics. Among his classmates were such personalities as Tony Nicholl, Enzo Gusman and Richard Vella Laurenti.

David started working life as a supervisor in the textile industry, followed by reception and book-keeping duties in the hotel industry, before joining C. & H. Bartoli in 1966, where he retired as General Manager. His favourite hobbies are reading, swimming, canoeing and walking.

David was co-opted to the ALPS Council of Administration by Dr Guido Saliba, his former History teacher, in 2000.

He married Josephine née Chetcuti in August 1972 and they have two daughters, Claire and Louise. Claire (B.Pharm.) has something in common with her father about The Lyceum: in fact she teaches Sciences there.

Anthony Buttigieg, ALPS News Co-ordinator, was born in Gzira on the 15th March 1944 and is the eldest of eight brothers and sisters. He got married in 1972 to Carmen Vella and had three children. He is now the proud grandfather of three grandchildren.
His primary education took place at three different schools, the last one being a converted villa in Tax Xbiex, as the present Government Gzira Primary school had still to be built. In 1955, together with four other classmates, Tony was admitted to the newly built Lyceum, also known as il-Liceo. That year the building only consisted of one block and although it was still not complete, this did not seem to alter one’s pride in being admitted to the only Government Boys Secondary school which in those days was held in high esteem.
By 1961, despite achieving good GCE results, finding a respectable, reasonable job was not easy to achieve mainly because Malta had no Maltese government as it had resigned a few years earlier. Eventually in 1962 Tony passed the exams to become a government clerk typist but by now Tony was already looking to achieve his lifelong dream to move to the United Kingdom which he did soon after and got a job in a Luxury Hotel in South Kensington, London. It turned out an excellent choice because being in charge of non English French, Italian and Spanish staff Tony improved his speech in foreign languages which he had already excelled in, thanks to his language teachers at the Lyceum.
This in fact had been a step in the right direction as some months later having added Spanish to his other now fluently spoken foreign languages Tony was employed by British European Airways which was looking for foreign speakers. (later BEA merged with BOAC to become British Airways), This job was to become his lifelong career which lasted 35 years until an early retirement in 1999. A few years later Tony together with his wife Carmen returned to Malta where he joined Alps in 2005 at the 50 year Lyceum joiners’ reunion.

Past Council Members

Guido Saliba, 81,who passed away on December 7, 2004 is best remembered for his deep love of drama and his great ability as an organiser.

A lawyer by profession, Dr Saliba was born in Floriana on August 31, 1923. He graduated doctor of law with diplomas in public administration and in library and information studies from the University of Malta in 1966.

During World War II he was a lieutenant in the Royal Malta Artillery. After the war he was appointed a master of history in the Sixth Form and at the Lyceum. Later he became head of the department of history and social studies and assistant headmaster at the Upper Secondary School.

His connection with the Lyceum was cemented when in 1994 he set up the Association of Lyceum Past Students of which he was president until this year when he tendered his resignation. His close connection with ALPS, however, continued as he was made honorary president for life and was acting deputy president.

President Emeritus Guido de Marco described Dr Saliba as “a man of particular intelligence whose family ties with the de Marcos were especially strong”.

Prof. de Marco expressed deep sentiments at the great loss of Dr Saliba saying his death was a great blow to the de Marco family particularly to Prof. de Marco’s wife, Violet, the deceased’s sister.

Prof. de Marco said he had known Dr Saliba since their student days at the university and he used to take part in plays produced by the deceased where he reached levels in the theatre that few have achieved since.

“He was extremely creative and had a great capacity of being totally dedicated to the job at hand,” Prof. de Marco added.

Dr Saliba was an actor, playwright and drama producer; founder of the Fergha Drammatika Ghaqda tal-Malti (Università); co-author with his first wife Inez Soler of Mistenni mill-Gnus, a nativity radio serial and Bin il-Bniedem – a Passion play broadcast and produced at the Radio City Opera House in Hamrun.

Together with Ms Soler, he was drama and art critic for The Times of Malta between the 1950s and 1960s and used to write drama reviews under the pen-name Our Drama Critic.

With his great love for drama he was chairman of the Malta Drama League and secretary of Socjetà ta’ l-Awturi Maltin.

He held the post of judicial assistant at the law courts and was a Director of Studies at the Police Academy where he was one of the founders.

He was chairman of the Commission for the Investigation of Injustices; a member of the Permanent Commission Against Corruption; publisher of Il-Mara Matul Iz-Zminijiet; editor of A Council for All Seasons and of A Presidency with a Purpose by Prof. de Marco and the columnist of Once Upon a Dream in The Sunday Times for the past 12 years.

Dr Saliba served on several government boards including the Board of Film Censors and the Board of the Film and Stage Censors, the Board of Education, the Advisory Council of Education and the committee on recruitment policy at the Ministry of Education.

George Stagno Navarra, ALPS acting president, described Dr Saliba as “a great cultured and erudite gentleman who one day dreamt a sweet dream of setting up the ALPS”.

“He was a wise man and to us more than a father figure. When he was rushed to the hospital on Saturday, in spite of wearing an oxygen mask, he asked me to contact an association member in Australia to write something for the association’s magazine.

“His love for the ALPS was that great,” Mr Stagno Navarra said.

Dr Saliba was awarded the honour Il-Furjaniz tas-Sena 2003 by the Floriana local council and the Croce al Merito Melitense by the Sovereign Military Order of Malta.

Dr Saliba married Irene née Camilleri in 1978. They have two children Pierguido and Yelenia.

He resigned the post of ALPS president during his official speech at dinner marking ALPS’s 10^th anniversary in March 2004.

George S. Grech, ‘Ad Honorem’ Permanent Member, was born in Mosta on 30th July 1935 and attended The Lyceum between 1946 and 1951. He was employed as a clerk typist in the Civil Service in 1952 and then admitted to St Michael’s Training College in 1953, being appointed a regular teacher the next year. In 1961 he was promoted to Assistant Head of School and served in the Hamrun and Zejtun Primary Schools. He was appointed Head of School in March 1978 and served in Marsaxlokk, Naxxar and Hamrun (School Street) Primary Schools as well as Marsa Secondary School.

On 29th August 1989 George was appointed Head Master of The Lyceum until reaching retirement age on 29th July 1996 – so he is the only ALPS Council member to date to have “stayed on” at The Lyceum for so long. He was later appointed President of the School Council of Lija/Balzan Primary School for one year and President of the School Council of Sir Adrian Dingli Girls’ Junior Lyceum for four years.

In July 1959 George married Marie Louise née Bonnici and they had two sons and two daughters, Catherine, Ivan, Roberta and Adrian.
