OBIITUARY – NEVILLE DAVIDSON I was informed this afternoon by Breeda Foenander of the BAA, of the sad demise of  Neville Davidson this morning. He was the editor of the BAA Newsletter and will be missed by so many. May He Rest in Peace Blessings Victor   For Whom the Bell Tolls – by John Donne   No man is an island, Entire of itself. Each is a piece of the continent, A part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less. As well as if a promontory were.

Therefore, send not to know For whom the bell tolls, It tolls for thee. ...

      “FOOD FOR THOUGHT” – By Des Kelly   An excellent thought-provoking idea from Neville Davidson, Editor of the Burgher Association in Melbourne, has just arrived, via e’mail, and I lose no time in reiterating his words for the benefit of all our eLanka readers around the World. I am sure that Neville will agree with me when I say that it really does not matter where we Sri Lankans now reside, we should do everything possible to feed the hungry, whenever & wherever possible. Far too much food is being wasted in THIS Country and every effort should be made, to have all this excess food “collected” and sent off, under refrigeration, of course, to our neighbour 3rd World Countries where food is scarce & people and children are practically starving. Oh, I know that this is being done, even as I write this, BUT, our Governments EVERYWHERE, don’t ...
