Dear Miguel, Let me thank you very much for that input to my list of Moira's unsung 'eminentisimi' While I am aware that Mr. Manuel D'Cruz was the founder of St. Xavier's and indeed, I have often visited his place as his son Bernard was a good friend, I always thought that he was a Nachinolkar so that is why I did not include him. Crispin of course, slipped my mind so my apologies. I would emphasize once again as I said in my earlier post a list of this type cannot cover every one and like in Wiki, I am trying to add to this list. For starters, I also missed out Jerry Pinto, Venita Coelho and Frank Correia (thanks Lindray Veloso) Somthing tells me that the Toronto 'trout' and the Toledo 'samaki' would also like to add CJ and KK. I will leave this decision to my fellow Moidekars. the Academica records are at present 'unavailable'. So I will have to do some research into the archives of the church. I am forwarding this letter both to Moira Net and Goanet. Mog assundi ony On Thu, Aug 14, 2008 at 4:13 PM, Miguel Braganza <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote:
