Annette, Finally it has arrived....I mean the history of Donvaddo, which you had been eagerly waiting for. It should have been up on the net y'day i.e. Saturday, but, my PC had some minor problems and it had to wait till i fixed the problem.
In all probablity, Fr. Nascimento should be back on the net by Monday afternoon. He has installed a new dedicated line for the internet use yesterday evening and the same will be commisioned by Monday. Sometime back on Saturday I had posted a msg. on Passion Fruit and other tid-bits, a cc was also sent to Fred, but, it has still not appeared on the net. Daniel.
