B, M & F have done their city proud, and part of a long and glorious - and unsung - tradition. They are what they are - because they are Anglo Indians. And hence they have had to struggle to successfully combatted the marginalisation, and make their mark in their spheres. And that is also what makes them different from the city's mores. In some fundamental ways, I am what I am because of Anglo Indians. My English language and math skills were planted by unsung junior school teachers - like Mrs Innes, Mrs Hines, Mr Webster. Athleticism, sport - from boys like George Farnworth, Milford Hennesy. Love of singing - from Mr Menezies. The sheer joie de vrie of school - from masters like Mr Bearder and Mr Cyril Hennesy. And of course, all the many, many musicians from the Anglo Indian community. <BR/><BR/>I like to think, B, M & F heralded a new dawn in our city, one where "good" prevails.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
