Some subscribers to GoaNet might be able to help on this. My wife Germana
now confined to her chair asks me to sort through old papers which includes
personal correspondence dating back to the mid '50s. An intriguiging letter
is there from one Rudolph De Mello, who I think hailed from the Verem/Reis
Magos locale in Bardez. He had a sister 'Hilda' who had a long teaching
career in Toronto. Her husband was Joe (Daniels); we knew the family in our
Toronto days.
I would hear Germana referring to 'Rudolph', but somehow we never seemed to
get an update about him; don't even know if Hilda could have helped.
Evidently he was a pretty intelligent guy, but of a political persuasion not
conducive to his thriving in the Goan context in 'Portuguese time'. I should
think that dear Fidel Castro could have 'used' him! Question in my mind is:
what may have become of him in terms of life down the line. Did he migrate;
and where; and may he still be out there somewhere??
