Gabe, Rita Faria made an appearance at the Dar es Salaam Institute in 1966 or 1967. I was more interested in playing on the swings at the club then and did not get to see her. If I am not mistaken, she also was a guest at some of the Goan clubs in Kenya. Mervyn3.0 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
