Proverb. speak softly and carry a big stick. Do not boast or utter verbal threats, but do make others aware that you are prepared to take action if necessary.
Also I am kept in check by my many siblings - keep family out of any social media,, they scold.
However, attached is some blurb from the 55PGA brochure which says enough and has been kind to me.
Also in time to come, will speak my mind if I have to. Some unfinished business on how I was characterized in that journal earlier this year.
For the moment, my mind turns to late Felix Rodrigues, - boy next door at railway qtrs , same age and from Class of 57. (refer to Fr. Comerford)
The passing of Steve saddens. His dad and mine were elders in the RGI. We too had big brothers to pave the way. Margery's mum was our favourite Aunt. Her grandfather in Goa was our next door neighbour - from Badem, Assagao - endless stories to tell. Olive too, in Nairobi, always there to help the less fortunate members of our village in bereavement and other matters.
You have struck the right tone with the 'Vanishing Goan'. It remains for us to plough on regardless or others think, and get more rafikis to put words on paper instead of watching from the sidelines.
Have a Happy New Year.
John J. D'Souza
