I want to add my congratulations to Frederick a.k.a. Rico, Fred, etc on a
well-earned and deserved 2012
VINCENT XAVIER VERODIANO AWARD for his baby 'Goa 1556'. I met Frederick for the
first time only 10 moths ago,coming into the book business very recently. Since
then of course I have become increasingly aware to some extent of the breath
and depth of his initiatives, and even so I know it is only an impressionist
view. It is still ambitious and mind-boggling, and we and future generations in
Goa will forever be grateful for his efforts. So Dear Frederick,
Congratulations and Thank you.
