Hi Bernado,
Thanks. You brought back memories flooding when you recalled the table
tennis tourneys of the Seventies.
On his 50th birthday last week, I reminded Armando Gonsalves (Heritage Jazz)
about his mother Aduzinda accompanying him and his sister Rita to every
tournament venue. He agreed that his mother was the force behind him and his
sister, insisting that they learn to play the piano... and accompanying them
for the tt tournaments wherever they were held - Panjim, Vasco, Margao and
Cansaulim.
Remember Vero testing the ping pong balls, and virtually discarding boxes of
them before he could fine the right one.
Among the girls, there was Teresa Sequeira too. Susanna, of course, was a
treat to watch, and always had Subhash Pandit for the doubles partner.
Was it Nazareth, who was the best TT player at that time?
Regards.
Joel.
