Not to be concerned Eric. You have more than repaid your brother's debt and then some.
I concur with what Eric and George say, having had the benefit myself of the same education system that was operated by those priests of Spain and Lower Germany with the occasional progeny of the Irish labor class and the odd Armenian Catholic supported by the solid numbers of dedicated Goan Jesuits one of whom was George Pinto's relative, no less. Just the other day I was involved in a discussion with my children on the subject of effectiveness of our respective high school teachers. While my children too, have been fortunate to have had an unusual number of dedicated secular teachers within a public school system funded by the Province of Ontario, their professionalism and discharge of duties at the peak, would fall much short of the wholehearted sacrifice of the stalwarts (not to mention the wide discrepancy in their remuneration) that Eric, George, I and many other Goans were lucky to have encountered. To be fair, the teachers were of various religious persuasions, but it was the organized Catholic framework of educating the young that made it all possible.
