A great idea from you Linken, about attempting to create an informal record of the life and times of Alfred Tavares.
I could gather as much information, anecdotes and experiences of relatives, friends and even strangers whose lives crossed with Alfred in any way, even across space. I would welcome any communication however insignificant it might seem that might be a small part of the jigsaw puzzle of Alfred’s life. I would appreciate even being given the contacts of a person or persons, including living relatives, who who might be able to contribute to this gathering of information either thorough Goanet or my email. If you agree to it Linken, I can then present this raw heap to you for refining it into Alfred’s biography. You will do a good job of it. Can we set the ball rolling with FN and Bernice please? Linken Fernandes wrote; I would lean towards a biography first, and think one could perhaps be knocked off in a few months by (hint) a friend with as facile a pen as has been seen over the years in the pages here. I, of course, would selfishly consider the meat and bones of the bio for a protagonist rendered even more larger than life in a work of fiction. Roland Francis [email protected]
