Excellent article, Roland. Even though I'm not an ex- Vincentian, the article brought back many happy memories. My mother spent sometime at the Convent of Jesus and Mary. My late Jesuit brother was ordained at De Nobli College and, my late younger brother and I were privileged to serve at his First Mass at the said convent. I remember the Soares family(especially the children of the late Edward Soares founder of St. Thomas High School, Aldona).His eldest son(Cyril) still lives in Poona, and we keep in touch via his sister in Bombay.Through another member of the Soares family, my wife and I were able to spend many hours at the Military Academy at Khadakvasala where we met some of the officers/cadets. Thanks for the memory, Roland(from someone who has not spent much time in Poona!).
