Dear Raphael,

Thanks for your mail.

You may be interested to know what I was doing during the last 50 years.

After graduation at SAC I did a Masters in Economics from Loyola College Madras (now Chennai) and taught in the same College for one year. In Aug.1967 I joined the Jesuits and was ordained Priest in 1977.

From 1981 to 2001 I was Principal of Jesuit Colleges in Bangalore – 16 years and St.Aloysius Evening College for 4 years.

After retirement from teaching, as per the wishes of my Superiors, I went into the field of training of young Jesuits.

After an 8 year stint in formation, I am back in Education, taking care of the finances of St.Aloysius College, Mangalore.

I heard that you did Medicine. If so what is your area of specialization?

Mr. Bhandary our Maths teacher passed away about 4 years ago. Mr. Kairanna, PT Master and Fr.Walter Albuquerque who taught us Maths in the V Form are still around.

I stay on the Ist floor of our School building where all Father's stay.

The Chapel paintings were renovated 10 years ago.

I had been to the U.S.A in 1992 and 2002. It was a short trip.

With warm regards,

Fr.Walter Andrade SJ
