Hello Stany,
Thanks for sending me the photo album of the 1960 reunion, much appreciated.
I wrote you an email, but did not receive a reply from you. Is this you style of ignoring your old friends who live far away. Even though I intend to attend the reunion, my prior commitments did not permit me to travel from Vancouver, Canada.
I enjoyed going thru all the pictures, but could not recognize anyone. I don't think you would recognize me either if I come over and meet you. So where do you live at present? Next time I visit Mangalore, will make it a point to meet all my school buddies in Mangalore. I still speak Konkany with my wife Sybil, still remember Tulu, Kannada & Hindi. Do you know I can speak a bit of Arabic, Cantonese, a few words in Korean & Japanese?
I like people and love starting a conversation with strangers and my wife just the opposite.
Harry phoned me a few times, but now I have moved from my old place and could not keep my old land telephone line, don't thinik he has my new telephone number. I am sorry do not have a mobile phone (we call it Cell Phone here) because don't find a need for it, but both of our kids have them, since it is a must in the modern world in order to look cool amongst their friends.
So hey big guy, drop me a line or two and you have my thanks in advance. Take care,
best of regards.
Claudy Pais
