Hi George, Yes, he was a Goan. He was born in Karachi.
Here is another clipping from today's Herald: http://www.oheraldo.in/pagedetails.asp?nid=30604&cid=4 Moi-mogan, Domnic Fernandes Anjuna, Goa Mob: 9420979201 Remembering a great Goan, Anthony de Mello AGENCIES MUMBAI, DEC 1 On Monday it was Anthony de Mello’s birth anniversary. He is truly one of the greatest Goans. While so much has been written about the CCI and Brabourne Stadium staging a Test match after 36 years, few have remembered the man who was instrumental in building the Lord’s of India – Anthony de Mello. A book entitled ‘Cricket Club of India – Celebrating 75 years’ will be released on the morning of December 2 for the 3rd Test between India and Sri Lanka by Chief Minister of Maharashtra Ashok Chavan, to coincide with the birth centenary of de Mello. Today, India can boast of having more cricket stadia for international matches than any other cricket-playing nation in the world and the stadia-mania has not quite ended. Sad enough, the one which is still the most magnificent among them all, and stands as a monument to the visionary Anthony, who started it all, the Brabourne Stadium, has only a secondary role to play these days, picking an odd, unwanted international match to justify its existence. Hi Dominic, was he Goan? George _________________________________________________________________ New Windows 7: Find the right PC for you. Learn more. http://windows.microsoft.com/shop
