Easter blessings of the risen Lord to all.
Unfortunately it has taken the death of a
good friend and Saligoakar to bring this Saligaonet listing alive. It has even dragged
Denis out of the woodworks. Denis you need to give us a quick update what you
have been up to in the 20 or 25 years since you left Saligao – for Canada?? In case you are
wondering who this is …. I was in the same batch with Alfred, Maxwell, Norbert etc however I
went to St. Brittos and did not have the privilege of starting first at Lourdes
Convent. My Brother Lino also studied at Britto’s, I suppose due to my
Uncle (Fr. Lino D’Souza - Alle-budd-tha) being a priest and science teacher
in the school at the time.
I remember Denis as a good football player
and am not sure if he also played hockey with us on the Saligao hill above
Donald Sequeira’s place. There are a couple of other people I often
wonder about. Henry and his bother Hubert – did they go back to Africa? Hansel – another
football/ hockey player. Julio (Jango), I finally managed to locate in Western Australia. Kevin
(Rex) I managed to touch base with a few years ago is somewhere in the gulf.
Annette, I take the opportunity of
introducing you to Denis and all else this time. (There is no doubt that you
will very quickly correct any errors on my part)
Annette and her sister, Fiona were 2 slim,
tall, spectacled girls who walked regularly from the “bandh” near Izza
(Glen, Leon, Warren etc) Vaz’s house to the Saligao Institute to spend
hours reading the magazines and books at the round, ornate, carved table that
sat to the left hand side in the SI hall.
Fred (Rico) keep up the great work with
the kid’s blogs. No doubt it is a lot of work but when the kids begin to
enjoy what they are doing then the returns will begin coming.
I have found a couple of photos that I
took which had Alfred(and others) in it and I will post them on the internet
for everyone to view
