dear maxie
joe & i joined sachs + boarding house, june 1953. he in class III, me class V. back then, u merely opened a gate, crossed the road, were home. i was homesick, envied u!
i stayed boarder right till 1960. a full 7 years!! joe shifted to st joseph indian h.s. bangalore, 1958.
sigi has a small estate in sardarnagar, a km from palya. it is his own, reddy is some 10 km away, is what he told me. he is still the same simple nice guy. very innovative.
the bh photo i have, is of 1960, just before we left. it has turned sepia with age, but still sharp and clear. i need to get it scanned onto a flashdrive. then i can mail it.
my father was a planter for bbtc. boyhood in tea gardens of tamilnadu. so i look fwd to visiting any plantation in the ghats. pleasant memories, clean air. and far from the maddening crowds.
have yourself a very nice weekend ............. leo
