Abt the car GDA 444, I too can recall that black and white documentary shown at the church compound. If my memory serves me right, the car was seen on the ferry ramp ...perhaps Betim/Panjim...I am not sure. And surely there was a lot of excitement around on seeing a car owned by a Saligaocar being shot on a documentary.
BTW can someone tell me the whereabouts of Jessie ? The last I knew he was somewhere in the Gulf....we were classmates in Mater Dei. Thereafter halfway he moved to Boys Town School in Quepem. daniel.
