The following message is from Jerry Godinho, President of OCA Canada-
“17 OC’s along with their spouses and friends from Greater Toronto Area and Michigan met on Sunday, June 3rd at Bombay Palace.
John McLauglin who is 85 drove 6 hrs from Flint Michigan, dressed in full regalia and drove back after lunch. It was good to see John’s picture in Ruskin Bond’s book.
Pratap Grewal shared about his life and how paralysis impacted him. He shared how he has overcome so many physical challenges in life. John and Pratap represent the true BCS spirit.
It was good to see Tom, Satinder and Ravdeep after a decade.

Great to see an OCA in Canada.. is there a group in Vancouver too..
Jivan is on the extreme left and Satinder is on the extreme right with the jacket on his hand. Jivan is in the yoga business and married with two grown daughters. Satinder just retired and has a few kids and countless grand kids and yes is tejinder and govinders brother
Would it be possible to have the names indicated because i know Jivan Goyal but I fear he is the bald guy. To identify him like that after 50 years is patently unfair. So a little assistance please. Satinder is Tejinder and Govinder’s brother. Which one is he?
What a lovely get together and the apprehension of small numbers is dispelled !! Cheers
Great Pictures.. it would be nice to see if there is sufficient mass in Philadelphia/ NYC area for a similar gathering
great!
Good to see my friends Bogie and Jiwan attending the dinner. Seems like it was a great get together.
