------------------------------------------------------- CONVENTION OF THE GOAN DIASPORA FROM GOA INTO THE WORLD Lisbon, Portugal June 15-17, 2007 Details at: http://www.goacom.org/casa-de-goa/noticias.html -------------------------------------------------------
There is Tony Fernandes from Kenya here in Toronto who is called Tony Collo (the Fox) presumably because: a) he needed to be differentiated from all other Tony Fernandeses and b) to this day he is a dapper dresser and must have been a kind of Goan Romeo in his younger days. Since I am not from Kenya and therfore cannot vouch for his Collo (Romeo) nature I can only attest that because of his unique nickname, no Goan mistakes him for any other Tony Fernandes. Roland.
