By the way, I loved your post (the Peshawar Express) Pat :) >> Hello Martin: Nice to hear from you and thanks for your comments on the Peshawar Express posting from by my good Pak(istan)i friend, Bert. Strangely enough, some colo(u)r words are often misconstrued. When in Lahore, I realized that the friendlier one was, the more abuses or slang words are traded. Even here in the USA, the n-word is taboo, but amongst blacks it is very much in vogue :-) There was, and probably still is Anthony Company & Coy., General Order Suppliers (and Catholic Repository), on Clarke Street, Camp -- Karachi. This address is from an October 1940 receipt of the Holy Bible (Douay Version) which my dad purchased for Rs. 6.00 on my First Holy Communion. Besides the Catholic connection, the owner happened to be from Bastora, Goa. And surely there'll be many other sources for the books you seek -- Faquir has offered to provide local help there. Hope you found the information I sent on the Archdiocese of Karachi's website useful. Good luck in the quest to find your ROOTS: Pat de Sousa Maryland, USA ########################################################################## # Send submissions for Goanet to [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # PLEASE remember to stay on-topic (related to Goa), and avoid top-posts # # More details on Goanet at http://joingoanet.shorturl.com/ # # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ##########################################################################
