THE OTHER DAY St Xavier's College at Mapusa had their alumni day. For it, it was a reunion of a number of Saligaokars. Quennie "Annie" Saldanha-Sequeira, who taught in the college and is now in the US, was the chief guest. Alice (Barneto) D'Cruz is a student-turned-lecturer at the SXC. Her sister Elizabeth, now in Australia, was there too. Ex-student Vilma (D'Mello) Rex-D'Souza was there too. So was Stella from Canada/Arrarim.
Finally, I met up with Nympha D'Souza <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> who has corresponded quite a bit in the past. She visits Saligao every couple of years. Nympha is a scientist doing biomedical research. Some time back, she was awarded a grant of $1.25M by the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) for a project "Alcohol, apopotosis and lung opportunistic infections". Dr Nympha D'Souza is at the MPH University of Kentucky Internal Medicine/Pulmonary Division Lexington, KY. Nice to be in touch with all. Do stay in touch with Saligaonet. FN PS: Xavier's announced the planned launch, in a few weeks, of Xavier Radio, it's campus radio station. It will be broadcasting initially for just an hour a day, and could have a range of upto six kms. Wonder if it will reach Saligao too! -- ---------------------------------------------------------- Frederick 'FN' Noronha | http://del.icio.us/fredericknoronha Saligao, Goa, India | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Independent Journalist | +91(832)2409490 Cell 9822122436 ---------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Saligaonet mailing list [email protected] http://lists.goacom.org/mailman/listinfo/saligaonet
