Dear Skip, a tribute by Simon Estelita! HooraY!







Simon Estelita

Dear Skip, I can vaguely remember you in Nairobi. I was going to write to you, as thanks to you and your advice, I have come a long way in my writing. What you have achieved as a person is incredible, Your legacy will be impossible for anyone to follow or even come close to . About the "Stars from Yesteryears" those "Olympians". Your status as a person, reporter, for Kenya, our Goan Culture an "Unreplaceabe fixture. An act no one else can follow. I thank you for what you have done and given Kenya, Goa... I am sorry what you did in Australia for them I have no idea. I have been recently going through your blogs, as I am trying.... it is very trying as I am like a "Small island" in Germany trying to write, where even the Pigeons ( it is a Nature Conversation area for Birds ) speak their Pidgeon English better than the locals, on the edge of the North Sea I km from the sea, where we have two lots of meters high dykes, where we have had no floods since the 70's. In the Summer the Canadian Geese come here. I was Leslie's best friend, and knew Raul, Steven, Silu and Thomas very well i Nairobi South 'C'. Before you posted this, I said to my wife, Regina. Us Goans should be proud of what you, and another Goan, Melvin in USA, what he did for The GOA website . Thank you very much, pity I never met you in the flesh. Simon Estelita


Thank you with eternal gratitude, Skip

A message from Mervyn Maciel from his Hospital Bed

Morning my dear friends. Want to write to each one of you but I am exhausted! Thanks for everything. You have done much for me. Being discharged today after three long weeks. Have to live with pain for the rest of my life! Home at last, thanks to all of your prayers and kind wishes! From Mzee Mervyn Maciel to all of you. Morning Skip. Please don’t think I am or have been ignoring you – quite the opposite hard to spill it out with diminishing gufu (strength). Wish they could establish what is causing the chronic bleeding in my brain region. I want to sing again and write so much however gufu na shindwa mimi (lack strength is hampering me. Please thank everyone for their prayers and for enriching my life. I was the dunce in the family: My brothers Rev Joseph SJ and the late Wilfrid are my heroes. I owe them so much, also my darling Elsie and each of my loving children, including Conrad who suffered so much during his short life. Our faith kept us going during those painful days in Marsab...
