Thanks Mervyn. Enjoyed reading the articles and couldn't help but admire the high ideals of our early Goan pioneers to East Africa. Their aims, as mentioned in the President's speech, *"to foster unity among Goans, to promote social and intellectual activities and* *to provide the best possible means of spending their leisure hours" -* speak volumes. Wise words indeed from our Sages of yore. I could also visualise my former boss(Sir Richard Turnbull) delivering that speech and praising Goans in his customary manner,fortified(as I'm sure he must have been) with a good tot of his famous Scotch?! Correct me if I'm wrong, but I have a feeling that Goans in Tanganyika(Tanzania) got on far better than those of us in Kenya?
