My Sister in Law, who buys the Herald was mentioning an Almeida who had
died...Later when that night when I saw the paper, I was very surprised
....It was as if SARTO was ### Tony's twin Brother.  Completely look
alike.  No mistake and both Architects   and both conscious of
incorporating the landscape.

A few weeks ago, while I was in Margao, waiting for Grace Hospital to open,
I stepped out of the car.and walked down...  a few steps...there was grass
and water and a small bridge and a little stream that seemingly disappeared
into no where. and I wondered who was the genius who designed this place of
peace and beauty Now I Know

When the two Boys lost their mother .....they actually went to St.
Josephs.. it was right across the street ...The Light House, until their
father took them to Bangalore and University Education in Bombay.

# # #. Tony was considered among the best Architect in Africa ..and won the
Prince Klaus Prize .. He broke the racial barrier  in the early 1950's
..before that all public buildings (Police Stations, Govt schools Colleges
etc  had to be drawn by whites.
