Hi Gilbert, Thanks for your note . That sure should be added to the list of Great Goans under the name " Dr. (Dotor) Gilberto Laurencio" of _______vaddo, Goa !
We should ensure that none of the credits for our Great Goan accomplishments slips to the Anglo-Indians (those underachievers are just waiting the claim the credit !) just because we are anglicising our names ! dont you agree ? East Indians, Anglo Indians, Bring them on,, We overachiever Goans will surely whup them ! Best Regards, Dr Carmo D'Cruz Indian Harbour Beach, Florida. >From: Gilbert Lawrence <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: CARMO DCRUZ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: Re: Galaxy of Great Goans, contd. >Date: Tue, 28 Nov 2006 18:09:51 -0800 > >Hi Carmo, > >Your's was a great addition.
