Hi Domnic,
If I am not mistaken, M. Boyer (Manuel Aguiar) has already been honoured with the Goa State Award way back when Mr. Pratapsingh Rane was the CM. M.Boyer too played 'His Master's Voice' to Rane and was one of the committee member instrumental in framing and including the clause along with the then Speaker of Goa Assembly/Tiatrist Mr. Tomazinho Cardozo to honour only the Goa residing tiatrist. The rest you can read what Mr. A.Veronica Fernandes (KUWAIT) has written in Goanet Digest - Vol. 1 # 576 under the headline GOA STATE AWARD TO ALFRED ROSE.> As mentioned by you, in future the Goverment could consider either Remmie Colaco or Cyriaco Dias, or for that matter any other senior Tiatrist residing either in Goa or Mumbai. - Alfonso Bond Braganza Mapusa. ########################################################################## # Send submissions for Goanet to [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # PLEASE remember to stay on-topic (related to Goa), and avoid top-posts # # More details on Goanet at http://joingoanet.shorturl.com/ # # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ##########################################################################
