| Message | Hello all, It was a nostalgic experience for me at the Ex-Students' Reunion last evening.......meeting my batchmates after more than 30 long years. Kudos to the Ex-Students' Executive Committe for putting together a great programme......lighting of the lamp by some ex-students who are now in their 80s, the bursting of fire crackers, releasing of a hundred colourful balloons in the air by ex-teachers, the dance performed by the mentally challenged children of our Special School, the orchestra comprising of talented blind musicians and singers, and ofcourse, the jam session that rocked the grounds of St. John's.
To all those I met...Paritosh Deshpande, Yatin Vijayakar, Soluchana Kotwal (nee Iyer), Milind Ballal and many more....let us hope we meet again. To Newton Fernandez in Canada, Hello and thank you for remembering me, and to those who could not attend for whatever reason, we remembered you fondly....Rosebud Azavedo, Vrinda Nirody, Rita Mukherji, Charmaine Remedios, Pervis Waterwalla, Jyoti Phanse, Nirmala Tamhane, Poonam, Kazi Nazir, Tejinder Singh, Amar Kumar Sharma, the Patki twins, Archana Srivastava. To Quentin Alphonso in the USA, Hi cousin, and to Vincent Fernandez in Canada, Hi friend.
I must add here, that each one of us ex-students had a special word of appreciation for our dear Principal, the late Rev. Fr. Valerian Godinho.
What a great way of keeping in touch through this site!!!
