Grace, Your Dad was one of the nicest 'Uncle's that I remember from Saligao. He was a man of few words, but I cannot picture his face without that infectious smile. He was also one of my Dad's favorite people; my Dad would call him whenever he could. Didn't Atmaram (a little younger than your Dad) have a cab as well? The name rings a bell... If I'm not mistaken he was another person who came by our home pretty often.
Stella was someone we looked up to - she was extremely poised, yet unassuming and would never fail to give you the Godinho smile. I have an image of a couple of us standing and talking next to Aunt Peggie's house, when Stella told us that she had been admitted into nursing school. We felt so proud of her! If I remember correctly Grace, weren't you quite athletic in school? I believe Jesse was with my sister, Patsy, Gregory was a little Junior to me - I can still see him playing football with his pals; Vanessa was a toddler that last time I saw her and forgive me Mario, but I somehow cannot fit you into a Saligao slot...You must have been in school with some kids from around our house, but somehow the connection is evading me!

But Annette, who is lillan..I dont figure out Grace, I remembered your dad too, a popular figure with a smile on his face ... he looked like a mix of Greg and Jessie :-) if I recall right. Those were the days when boys of our age all wanted to become drivers -- preferably a bus or truck driver if we could manage it! Those were also the days when there was no television, and the Government's propaganda arm went around showing 16 mm movies in villages. I remember very clear one incident. We were watching a movie at the church (somewhere near where the outdoors pulpit is). It must have been around 1970, just after the "man goes to the moon" thing. The Apollo movies were all over the place. After some moon movie, there was a local documentary. And one of the things we noticed was Grace's dad's car ... if I remember, it's number was GDA 444. (There were very few cars in Goa then, still.) All of us kids were thrilled.
