20100117 Sunday: Leo to Maxie

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
