Re: Response from classmates.

Dear Peter,

Thank you for your post.

To put the record straight, I am not upset. But like everyone else I suppose (and hope) that a little more participation from everyone to supplement the effort of our core team in Mangalore would be welcome and healthy.

On what you have said in your email, you do have a point. However, I for one have deliberately not excluded the ones departed - especially since we have decided to track down their families or next of kin to include them to some extent in our REUNION get-together. Surely, a suitable communication channel with them would be necessary? And towards this end perhaps it'd be nice to collect the means for such communication, preferably through email or telephone!

As regards those whose whereabouts are still to be traced, well... we hope we'll eventually succeed, and extablish communication with them too.

I was happy to see one more email 'id' (that of Claud Pais <Cbpais@hotmail.com>) listed in Harry's mail this morning to Fr Walter - with no message however, but only the list of total email addresses. (Thank you Harry).

Don't ypu think it'd be just wonderful if all the 20 whose email addresses are with us now on record start active communication with each other.... rather than the majority remaining just silent and passive fence sitters?
With warm regards,

Maxie

Hi Maxie,

I can understand you are upset 'cause you do not get the desired

response from all.

But wait a minute. You say that the batch in original is numbered 52.

Now, should we not take out the number of those who have gone up

for their heavenly reward and also those not traceable and therefore

beyond reach? That will leave our group to a little more than half our

original size in so far as communication is concerned. Out of the rest,

I admit it is regretful that there are still a handful who have not revealed

their email ID's. We can still try and obtain them.

Thereafter, we will have the realistic number to tackle for response.

Regards,

Peter
