Hi Michael Ali !
Thanks for the reminder on the great Bernard Mascarenhas who contributed
immensely to the
welfare of Pakistani goans- both young and senior citizens.
Canadian Thanksgivng in October
was a great day for Pakistani goan senior citizens. His death created a vacuum.
Bernard had to attend a board meeting every Tuesday at the 106th Floor of the
WCC. Given the
poor early morning connectons from Toronto, he would invariably take the
earliest flight to avoid being late.
Our oldest daughter -Pramilla was also trying to get to work early to grapple
with a work backlog;
but at the insistence of her then boy-friend (Sean) who is now her husband,
she left during her
normal time- reaching at the WCC underground subway at 09:10 when the fourth
aircraft crashed
on the 110th floor building. Given the confusion and communications problems,
we got the news
12 hours later that she was alive.
Pramilla worked at the 68th Floor for the Port Authority of New York and New
Jersey who managed
the building owned by three Toronto-based Jewish brothers. Her
immediate supervisor who worked
on the 69th floor did not make it.
Another goan from New Jersey - Ashley Lobo took the day off to celebrate his
wedding anniversary
with his wife- Gisselle. Ashley is the brother of the well known New Jersey
goan philanthropist-
Alan Lobo.
Ashley now operates remotely from Goa to fulfill Giselle's wish to work with
Autistic children in Goa.
She is doing a great job and the Goan Asociation of New Jersey (GOANJ) of
which I am an active
member has been supporting some her projects financially.
Thanks.
Tony Barros.
