FN, There used to be a time when I could get three generations of female relatives to a function on time. Not any longer. I arrived ten minutes after 1.00 pm and almost missed the first meet. (Some said I did so as I did not want to buy them the beers promised.) It was a great day for beers. The temperature in the hangar must have been over 100 degrees. I am going to leave the description of what happened at the function to those who were paying attention. The three o'clock Goanet meeting was more eventful. Amongst those I meet for the first time, Helga turns out to be much prettier than her best post. Aunty has a 19 year old son but does not look older than that himself. Edgar Silveira from Montreal, is a marathon runner. I missed Dr. Jose Colaco and Ben Antao. They must have arrived after I left. Goanetters were well represented at the event. Eugune Correia and Silviano Barbosa both did write ups for the souvenir. Tony Fernandes (also an author) had his own handicraft stall. Tony does some great paintings of Goan churches on glass. I am ever grateful to his wife who has authored the cookbook that my wife uses. Silviano had his own stall and Kevin Saldhana was at the BMX stall. Looking at the souvenir today, here are some numbers as to what makes Viva Goa possible. Hanger rental $25,000 Furniture rental $9,500 Decorators and cleaners $8,800 Security $,3,400 Music and sound $2,700 Total = $49,500 Mervyn3.0 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
