I came to know awhile ago through Arménio Carvalho and Fernando do Rego that Alfredo de Mello, son of Froilano de Mello and author of the recently published autobiography «From Goa to Patagonia» passed away in Montevideo, where he lived since 1946. The information was conveyed by his eldest daughter Lilian. My heart-felt sympathies to the family and friends. Teotonio R. de Souza -- http://bit.ly/aBMS9z
