Hello Goencars everywhere,
My husband Salus and I happened to be in London the last week of July
and were informed by Salus's brother Peter of a Goan gathering at Bishop
La Franc School. I was expecting a crowd of about 200 people but was
astounded when I got there, there must have been at least a thousand. I
am so glad we went because we met many of our goan friends from
Mombasa, Salus met many of his pupils whom he taught way back in the
60's at Sacred Heart Primary School, some of his pupils had their
children with them and this was very special. Also got to meet and chat
with Eddie Fernandes, Goa Netter. My cousins some of whom I had not seen
in about 20 years were there too, it was a lovely reunion for all of us.
All in all it was a memorable occasion and Salus and I would like to
thank the organizers for all their hard work. I am back at work but I
have with me wonderful memories of that Sunday spent with our Goan folks.
Juliet from Los Angeles
