91-year-old active Goanetter, who actively and often posted to Goa fora in
cyberspace, including Goanet.
An agricultural officer -- retired from the Goa agriculture department --

But his expertise in agriculture and horticulture did not stop him from
chronicling various aspects of Goa and its diversity. Here is one example
of his writing, via Goanet Reader, focussing on the "Salesian story of Goa":
