Arun Talwar to Maxwell Pereira and others

10 December 2009Subject: Re: data and memorablia

Dear Maxi and my Great classmates
Apologies for not replying earlier.
Yes, I was your classmate from 4th. class - Saar master's class, and I vividly remember the house opposite the sand pit .
You have done a fantastic job of putting all the names and contact details, I have added Ozzie's number and his e.mail address, only thing it is not dashes but underscores( ignorant me, I don't know how to do it)
and the same with Adolf Lobo's address. I have sent him an e-mail asking him to contact me giving his phone number so that I could see him in person, and I haven't had any joy as yet.
Sadly the deceased list has gone up to 13. I have learnt from Leo that Prakash Ipe is also no more.
Here's the tentative Itinerary for our re-union - subject to suggestions from you all and the organizers :
Maxie, Ozzie, Terence, Raphael, and Cyril...once you see our program that we are planning, you will be tempted to join us..so PLEASE make the effort to come down.
(Maxie, if you give me your US contact number, I`d love to speak to you.)
