I think BC did mention this lapse. But as usual, it
was ignored by the compiler.
Shame indeed, considering the Constantino almost
single-handedly started supergoa.com whilst still in
his teens, and has a number of people writing on his
site, including a Portuguese agricultural engineeer
who was stationed in Goa Aug-Dec1961 (and shares his
Goa experiences with forum members especially when he
was incarcerated in the prisoner-of-war camp).
Constantino was one of the first organisers of World
Goa Day, and in contrast with other WGD which mainly
means an evening dance with eats, Constantino's events
have been day-long affairs with speeches, carroms
competitions or trips around Lisbon visiting sites /
roads with Goan names / connections, etc.
Constantino is a true grandson of Goa, if I may say
so.
Gabriel.
