Dear All,
I received the following message from Mr Ronald Goss
I regret to inform you. that Mr. Das Gupta‘s daughter phoned me several months ago to inform me that he had died. I was sorry to get the news, although it came as no surprise – he sounded very feeble the last time he spoke to me. He was my neighbour in Remove my first two years in BCS, and we met a couple of times in Toronto. He was a gentle man and a gifted artist We spoke on the phone at least once a year, as was the case with Desmond and Colleen deYoung. Mrs. Maud Williams informed me that they had both passed away but gave no details
I am forwarding two photographs from RS Sodhi’s collection sent as attachments to this mail which be of interest to those who remember them.
Warmly
Vijay

Dear All,
RS Sodhi has been kind enough to loan me photo album and I am now forwarding for your records, the Curzon House photographs for the for the years 1954 (Amar Singh Gill as House Captain) and the one for 1962 when RS was House Captain. Incidentally Amar Singh Gill became a commercial pilot.
His collection of pictures are in good condition permitting me to replace prints that were faded or defaced. I feel better now !!
Warmly
