Very saddened by the news of the Passing of Chacha Knew that he was ailing for some time. His gregarious spirit helped him hold the fort. Am glad that he was able to make that summer trip to Goa, and say his piece in the Heraldo, earlier this year.
Missed an opportunity to personally touch bases (and debate semi-contentiously, no doubt) with him in Alexandria, Virginia. The hurricane (in the vicinity) and the loss of power (at his hotel) meant that e-communications were not to be - until it was too late (we were traveling back to home base soon thereafter). He was there on work. We were on a short visit. May his soul RIP. Our condolences to his family. jc
