Goanet mourns the passing of Jorge de Abreu Noronha in Portugal - Nov 27/07 http://tinyurl.com/2dk2bl http://tinyurl.com/29kpdx --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Livia, The one and only time I met Jorge de Abreu Noronha, was earlier this year at the Casa de Goa meet in Lisboa, when both of you came by to greet and share. You carried yourself regally in stunning violet, Jorge radiated dignity and compassion. It appeared as though two splendid wavelengths were commingling, and it was a pleasure to see you together, albeit briefly. I appreciated his precise posts on Goanet, and his pieces in other fora. His words will be around -- this I am sure; and we are blessed for having them be with us. Oxem mhunnonk favo ki munnsheam bhitor Jorge Abreu de Noronha aslo nimaneantlo ek nimano "Mohican." Kornneani dhairavont, pun riten maryaditso.* Venantius J Pinto * It deserves to be said that among men Jorge Abreu de Noronha was amongst the last one of the last Mohicans. Resolute in action, but gentle in manner, [Fortiter in re, suaviter in modo]
