Goanet next meets in Goa: January 7, 4 pm (meeting point: Kala Academy canteen). Goanet founder Herman Carneiro will be there. See you there! ------------------------------
Leo Lawrence and his wife Dr. Berta Lawrence lived in Portugal for many years. Leo Lawrence passed away a long time ago and Dr. Berta passed away about four to five years back. She was involved in social work . Incidentally, Dr. Berta is our netter Lianne Rodrigues' paternal aunt, and as I was given to understand, she was one of first Goan ladies who practised medicine.
