He passed away yesterday in Los Angeles after a well lived life of ninety two. Alfred was a proud 'natural' of Majorda-Betalbatim. He had managed the Konkanni section of AIR in Bombay and then accepted a transfer to the Panjim station as director in 1962. He taught courses at a State College in California and was active to the end, doing time as a hospital volunteer the week he died. Alfred and his wife Nora raised two sons, both physicians in Los Angeless. I will ever remember the soccer banter between him and his New York brother Tony, over the phone.
