Thanks Frederick. I saw his post on Facebook just the previous day, stating he was in hospital with a cardiac ailment. He was taken too soon. A great academic, with the rigour and dedication to his work that is rarely seen these days. Personally he contributed a lot to my academic horizon when he came as a teacher in class 10 when I was in St Britto's Mapusa. He was a young Phd student, and a Jesuit seminarian. His enthusiasm and knowledge was a revelation to a young teenager.
If there's any memorial service for Teotonio in Goa, please do let us know. Filipe Cordeiro On 20/02/2019 23:18, Frederick Noronha wrote: > Dear all, I'm sorry to be the bearer of sad news.
