Eugene is obviously referring to Prof George Coelho. I remember meeting him during the early days of the Internet in Goa, sometime in the late 'eighties. After a call from him -- guess because of my news summaries and other involvement on Goanet -- we met up at his or his family's place in Baga.
Prof George was a nice, polite person, with none of the arrogance that educated Goans tend to sometimes have. He was most enthusiastic about the possibility of a 'Goan renaissance', with all the new forms of sharing information that were just coming on the scene. When I think of his words and his enthusiasm, it strikes one that we might never know how close to the goal we actually were... or how we ruin things by getting caught up in non-issues, and probably not even seeing the goalpost!
