RESPONSE:

Rose,
So you have found a typo in the book.  1955 instead of 1950.  Does it make any 
material difference?  

Since it is the nit-picking season, 
1. You mentioned Gerard Montfort Bess instead of  Gerard Montfort Bebb
2. You mentioned Terta District, Coast Province. You lived in the Coast 
Province so where is the Terta District?  Little wonder Melvyn says, Goans 
don't tell the right story  

Since it has been claimed that that your review of Selma’s exhibition was meant 
to be sardonic.  Does this also apply to the final sentence of your review 
which reads:
 
“Well done and congratulations to Selma and the rest of the team for an 
uplifting insight” 

And does the smile you displayed in the photograph (http://bit.ly/13NyPJ0 ) at 
the event also a sardonic one?  Please, instead of getting your new best friend 
to write on your behalf, can we have the answer from the horse’s mouth?

 RESPONSE: I wrote as I saw it,  no prompting from Rose. This unlike the
post that was written by Teotonio R. De Souza on behalf of his friend who
keeps his book by her bedside.

Rose is more than capable of answering for herself if she chooses.

 Dear Eddie
As you have proved yourself (in my eyes) to be the super detective on the super 
highway, perhaps you can use your detective powers to work this out for me. 
 
One of the photographs of The Book “A Railway Runs Through” by kind courtesy of 
Mervyn Maciel has this caption:

As you can imagine, I have now entered another State of Goan confusion and seek 
your valued assistance, could you advise me (if you know) just who was or who 
were (if there was more than one) District Commissioners of Marsabit in the 
year 1950?   
No point in me asking Melvyn, he comes out with his one liner, Goans don't 
tell the right story, besides he will definitely not know, this was before the 
time he was born and it also happens to be before the time I was born.
Perhaps our learned people will find the formula and explain why we have this 
State of Goan confusion even today?
