A letter from Canon Bob Newman
29 May 2005
Dear Gayanne
I was very moved by the
large number of Bombay-Pokeno folk who came with you to my 50th
commemoration last Saturday, and I am writing to say a big ‘thank you’ to you
all. It was all very wonderful, and
perhaps a little overwhelming. If felt as though I was hearing my funeral
eulogy in advance! I’d be grateful if you would pass on my appreciation to
everyone.
Sincerely, Bob N
