Of late, I have often found time to visit GoanVoice. Today (Aug 6) I
visited it in the evening, but was shocked to read about Vasco Rodrigues.
He was related to me and took over as president of the Colva a year or two
after I was.

He was the son of Felix Valois Rodrigues, a Goan freedom fighter and
journalist who worked for The Indian Express, Delhi. I had written about
Felix in the thread over Joel's death on the Goa-Book-Club forum.

I visited him almost two decades ago with the precise aim to meet his
mother. I also met his wife and one or two sisters at Don Mill. I had lost
contact with him. I would be happy if someone who knows the family,
especially those in Toronto from Saddar, Karachi, if they can forward me
their telephone number.

Before I met Vasco, his sister Fatima had visited Bombay to meet her dad
and stayed with us. This was in the late 70s.

RIP Vasco..

Eugene
