While we celebrate the 20th anniversary which Goanet completed on the 25th
of this month, we are today struck with the very sad news that our fellow
Goa-netter Alfred de Tavares is no more. Met him many years ago at the
house of Emiliano de Cruz in Loutolim. Sweden based Alfred was quite active
on the Goanet and he did email me sometimes with an advice or two which was
always much appreciated. May Alfred’s soul rest in eternal peace.
Goanet has over the last two decades been a very fruitful forum giving
Goans across the world a platform to know each other and debate on varied
issues concerning India and Goa in particular.
Every Goa-netter is very grateful to Herman Carneiro who conceptualized and
launched this great idea GOANET in 1994. We are also very thankful to the
entire Admin team over the years for keeping this forum going and churning
it more vibrant by the year. The role of Frederick Noronha, Bosco D’Mello
and other moderators who as pro-active catalysts have been a great asset in
energizing the Goanet engine. Every Goa-netter remains indebted to them.
May Goanet move from strength to strength.
