I can also confirm that Marcus worked tirelessly for the Association and was responsible for encouraging many members to get on the Roll of Honour by buying Premium Bonds. His persistent efforts may have 'irritated' some, but all Marcus was doing was purely in the interests of the Goan Association and the community at large. It is a pity that his funeral clashed with that of another Goan lady teacher, also ex-Uganda; and again, some of the Directors and members were away on a pre- arranged Pilgrimage in Lourdes - else many more would have been there to pay their respects to this man who did so much for the Goan Association(U.K.). May his soul rest in eternal PEACE. Mervyn Maciel
