Dear goanet readers I was sorry to hear the sad news that Matanhy Saldanha had passed away. He was a man of vision, unlike the purveyors of doom and gloom today, and I hope the work he started in giving Goa an identity and special status will continue. I recall meeting him at the Goan Association (UK) clubhouse in Beckenham, Kent a few years ago where he addressed a full house on his visit to the United Kingdom.
