Re: [Goanet] Keeping tyhe memory of the SS TILAWA alive
Hi Mervyn, Thanks for the missing part of the poem. I wonder whether you have one piece that tells the whole story of the life and death of Your Dad, stepmother and half siblings. I have bits and pieces that I can put together but I am not sure that it will tell the complete story. One question is that: Dad told me that your Dad had retired and was asked to return to his post in Nairobi because of the war time shortage of staff but you say that he was in Goa on leave and was returning back to work. I feel that I asked you this question before and the answer must be in my records, sorry for the duplication but it is quicker than searching in my notes. Pole na kazi. Darrell.
