100315: ....on efforts to track down Jude Thomas!

Dear Harry and Arun...
As indicated in my previous mail, I did indeed touch base with a few
IHF officers finally - only to draw a total blank as regards any
information on Jude Thomas, or Alex Thomas or Felix Thomas... in any
Indian Hockey Team between 1960s to 1990s.
Finally yesterday I was able to zero in on a Jude Felix who is an
Arjuna Awardee and captained India's Hockey Team in the 90s. I was
quite excited indeed, even though I knew Jude Felix would definitely
not be the one we were looking for - but there could be that remote
possibility that Jude Felix could be a son or a nephew of our Jude
Thomas.
Today my guys zeroed in on one SK Sharma a DIG in the Indian Hockey
Federation, got his telephone number, and I spoke to him explaining to
him the sentiment behind my search for Jude Thomas. He promised to
help by looking up the records of the Arjna Awardees and then get back
to me.
Just a while ago Sharma came back to me with disappointing news.
Apparently Jude Felix who captained India's hockey team was tracked
down with an address in Bangalore - and then traced and located
Singapore where he is coaching the Singapore Hockey team. Jude Felix's
father is one Stephan who never played any hockey. Jude Felix neither
recognized or recalled about any Jude Thomas in his family.
This is sad and disappointing. I was almost certain we had clinched it
when Jude Felix was tracked down to a Bangalore address. Veru very
sad.
Well, let's keep up the effort any way. Who knows we mat strike gold
at some other quarters!
With regard,
Maxie
