Hello Victor, Proud Centenarian Delighted to hear about your completion of a century--what an honor for a man who doesn't look a day over sixty!
My mind goes back to our long association in New York, to the publication of 'Tivolem' and the Literary Reading in our home in Connecticut, to our many brain-storming sessions at the Five Bridges Writers Workshop, our collaboration at Yale and my subsequent book on 'Goa: A Post-Colonial Society Between Cultures', and the numerous other venues and occasions at which our literary and social paths crossed--not least our long residence as neighbors in Jamaica Estates in New York. Happy (Belated) Birthday! And many Happy Returns of your special Day! Continue to thrive and prosper, dear Victor. And may the power of your pen and the sensitivity of your musical ear never be diminished. Fond regards, Rochelle and Llew _____________________________ Rochelle Almeida, Ph.D., D.A.
