Peter's Family snaps.

Dear Peter
Your kind letter and all those delightful snaps reached me intact, and I can assure you they really made my day.
When I looked at the photographs of your children and little Aryan, and your dear Mother of 84 years age, I realized that God has indeed blessed you in a special way. I pray these blessings continue to shower down upon you and all your family.
I have a special request for you Peter. Please do send all these photographs to Maxie to be put up on the blog. It would be nice to share this happiness with all our old companions, and I am sure that all of them on seeing these snaps will experience the same happiness that I did.
When I saw your photograph I immediately recalled your old features, but I doubt if I would have recognized you if I had seen you on the street. Well, I guess people must be saying the same thing about me, because 50 years is indeed a long time.
Whenever I see a photograph of our old classmates, all the old memories of the past come flooding back. Do you remember the time when we were in the 6th form, somebody brought a goat into Mr. Bhandari's class? I can never forget the expression on Bhandari master's face. Also, do you remember the incident of Bhandari master and Silvarious Rego? Those teachers were all great men who tried their best to make something of us, and I guess to a large extent they have succeeded.
I shall certainly keep your lenten retreat in my prayers.
So that is all for now Peter. Take care and God bless, and do keep in touch.
Cyril

Hello friends,
Just thought of enclosing two of my recent snaps in response to Arun's initial clarion call a few months ago.
Snap No. 1 - Taken on the wedding day of my son Pravin last Nov.
The bridal couple is flanked by his parents and his only sister Premila with her family.
Snap No. 2 - With my Mom (84 years) last month. In the background on the right is our snap framed of 4 generations.
A very joyous Easter to you all!
Peter

Dear Maxie,
As I could not email my letter enclosing 2 snaps, I have split it into 3 parts while mailing it to you.
Kindly combine them and treat it as one. Thank you very much in advance for your troubles.
Regards,
Peter
