From an e-mail message of 16 Oct 02 from Prantosh:
As you know, I left Queen's Univ in Jan 1970, went back to India, and joined my teaching post in Visva-Bharati University (India). I was there in the Dept of Physics all these years, and have recently retired (in Jan 2002) as Professor of Physics, after completing the age of 65 years. My family consists of my wife Jharna, one daughter, and one son. Our daughter Sumedha (31) is happily married, and is staying in India with her husband and two kids. Our son Sudipto (29) is also married, and is, for the last 4 years, at Longmont, Colorado(USA), working as a Senior Software Engineer in XILINX Inc. He is also a part-time student in the University of Colorado, Boulder, studying for an M.E. Degree in Comp Sc. & Eng. After my retirement, my wife and I have come to Longmont on July 12, 2002 to spend about 6 months time with our son Sudipto and daughter-in-law Kakali. We will go back to India on January 8, 2003.

written by me. Another two books with titles "Waves
& Optics" & "Heat
& Thermodynamics" have also been
published. The remaining ones are in progress.
Prantosh writes, on 27 Nov 02:
I am sorry I could not write a
mail to either you or Alex for quite sometime. As my record shows,
the last mail I wrote to you was on Oct 31,02 & the last mail
I received from Alex was on Nov 11,02. The fact is that our
computer was giving trouble again & Sudipto being busy could
not trouble shoot the problems for sometime. By the time the
computer was O.K. we got a call from Ed & Sheila Heighway and made a sudden programme to visit
them in Santa Fe, New Mexico last
weekend. We returned here on Nov 25 evening & was thinking to
write to you both with details of our trip to New Mexico,when I
got your message.I will write to Alex also just after this mail
and will apologize for my late reply.
Now a brief description of our trip to Heighways & how it
originated.
I got Ed's e-mail address from Alex & sent a mail to him. I
got a quick reply from him & got some details about them. I
am forwarding that mail to you so that you know the details about
Heighway family which you can include in your Master Compilation:
OUR PAST.
Since Santa Fe was so near to us, we decided to make a trip there last weekend. As per our programme, Jharna and I along with Sudipto & Kakali started from Longmont on Nov 22(Friday) at about 1 PM & reached Santa Fe at about 8 PM, covering a distance of 430 miles. We were warmly greeted by Ed & Sheila. Seeing them after a long gap of 32 years, you can guess how excited we were & we talked for a long time on so many topics of our past days & present activities.
Next 2 days, we all moved in 2 cars, seeing various things & places of interest in & around Santa Fe.On Nov23, we saw some beautiful spots like Santa Fe Plaza, some good jewellry stores run by American Indians in the plaza, La Fonda Hotel lobby, Casa sena garden, St Francis Cathedral, Fenn gallery & Sculpture garden, Canyon Road galleries, Museum of International Folk Art. In the afternoon, we went to a beautiful place named SHIDONI, which is situated on an 8-acre apple orchard, 5 miles north of Santa Fe. Founded in 1971 by owner-sculptor Tommy Hicks, Shidoni has grown into an internationally famous sculpture facility. We moved around the whole area seeing various works of art in the galleries. Most we liked is the lost wax method of casting bronze. We saw the actual process of melting bronze in Shidoni Foundry by workers wearing special fire-proof dresses & using special visors. Bronze melts at 2000 deg F and we saw about 700 pounds of molten bronze being poured into a single ceramic shell & then pouring into different works of Art.
On 24 Nov morning, after our breakfast, we went at a distance of 70 miles to "Taos Pueblo", a reserved area for American Indians for their residence & art galleries. The whole drive was very scenic all along the mountains & on top of them. We got warm reception from the native people of Taos in the high mountain desert village. Taos Pueblo restricts the infrastructure of electricity & plumbing within the sacred village. Taos is at 7000 ft of altitude & enjoys high sub-alpine desert weather. A wealth of artists & arts originate from Taos Pueblo. Here artists create every form of traditional to contemporary art forms. From paintings to photography, sculptures to performance arts, drums to pottery, beadwork to leather goods, the village offers the riches of the talented natives from this Pueblo and abroad. We took several photos of the artistic buildings(similar to mud houses of tribals in India) & surrounding nature.
On 25 Nov, we started early morning from Santa Fe, saying good bye to Ed & Sheila. Due to heavy snowfall in Colorado last weekend, traffic was blocked for a couple of hours near Colorado-New Mexico border & we reached Longmont at 4 PM safely.
Tell me now Wayne, how are you & Eleanor. Ed & Sheila were asking about you & I gave them the latest update. You will see some pictures of Heighway family in Ed's mail which I have forwarded to you. You must be busy with your computer works & generation of fractal images. We are all fine here in Longmont & having nice time. Jharna & I will start for India on January 08, 2003 reaching there on Jan 10, 2003. So we are in Longmont for another 40 days!

Hi Prantosh
What a big big surprise to hear from you? I am so glad that you
have done that.
The memories of the time we spent at Queen's came rushing back. I
remember
everything, including what you looked like then, which is not
much different to
what you look like now. You look great now, just as you did then.
It has been a
long time since we left Queen's.
After leaving Queen's in
1973, I took up a teaching job at the University of
Newcastle,
near Sydney,
Australia. I left that job in 1980 to join the
Department of Mines and Energy
in Darwin, Australia. I am
still there. As the Director Energy Policy, I provide technical
and policy
advice to Government on energy matters, including renewable
energy and energy efficient
technologies. I enjoy my
work. The lifestyle in this small place, which has a tropical
climate,
is laidback and peaceful. I
plan to retire in another three years or so.
I remember your wife Jharna. Please give her my regards. I
remeber her nice cooking.
About 10 years ago during one of my visits to India, I caught up
with Bhisham
who was working at the Indian Insitute of Geomagnetism. I have
not had any
contact him since then. I would be interested in his contact
details if you have
them. We would like to see him when next in Bombay. Yes, I
knew about Kedar.
I don't know where Dominic
Nicodemo is. You have a very good memory, remembering
him and remembring that I shared an apartment with him. One day I
would
like to go back to Kingston, and see the places and people. I had
heard that Waly Zuk
was in Australia. I did not know him that well back at Queen's.
I married June in Kingston in 1971. As you may remember she is
from Australia,
and that's why we ended up in Australia. June has been teaching
in a high school
and is looking forward to retirement. We have three children -
Anjali, Sunjay
and Maya. The youngest one, Maya, is 22 years. They are all happy
with what they
are doing, though none of them are married yet. It is something
that they will
decide and do when they are ready. I have been a citizen of
Australia for more
than 25 years.
We visit India regularly, about once every two years. Most of our
time there is
spent with my family in Chandigarh. We do go for short visits to
other parts as
tourists. We have been to many places in India. The last time we
were there we
visited a number of places in Rajasthan. I suppose you live in or
around Kolkatta.
Once again, it is great to hear from you. Enjoy the rest of your
time in
the US before heading back to India. Keep in touch. Best wishes
for the new year.
Subhash
Subhash writes, in an e-mail to Prantosh Chakraborty, 9 Feb 03: . . .
Dear Friends from Queen's
I have some tragic news. Our son Sunjay, 25, passed away on 27 December 2002. We
are devastated at his sudden and untimely death. We are going through extreme
sadness, pain and hurt at our tragic loss. We have two daughters, Anjali, 27 and
Maya, 22. Their grief at having lost a sibling and our grief at having lost a
loving and caring son is too tough to bear at the moment. While our lives have
changed forever, we hope with the passage of time we would be able to cope with
this loss.
Thanks Prantosh for giving Bhisham's address. I have addressed this email to him
as well. Hope to establish contact with him. I have two nieces and an uncle who
live in Mumbai, so there is a real possibility of catching up with Bhisham if
during a visit to India we travel to Mumbai also.

Subject: RE: Hello David,from Prantosh
Date: Sun, 27 Oct 2002 16:05:55 -0500
Hello Prantosh,
What a wonderful surprise to receive a message from you after 32 years! It is inevitable, after such a long time, that there would be some sadness, but it was particularly distressing to note that Kedar had survived only a short time after returning to India. His children will all be grown-up now. I wonder how they and his wife managed. Then, of course, there was Henry, who always gave the impression of being indestructible. What a shock! I always wondered what happened to you and Bhisham.
You are particularly well informed. I have almost lost contact with the Physics Department at Queens and our contemporaries who were there up until 1970. I did meet Wayne Paulson through my work in 1995 (?). Even further back in time, I ran into Wally Zuk at a meeting in the Federal Department of health, Health Canada. In 1999, I unexpectedly met Gerry Lynch, who then had a son who had started at Queens. Gerry is heading a physics lab at U of T. Alex Herman was, or is still, working in Dartmouth for a laboratory belonging to the Federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans. I was hoping to meet him during a series of visits I made there a few years ago, but had no luck.
As for myself, I divide my time between Ottawa, which I tend to think of as home, and Saint-Hubert, near Montreal, where I work for the Canadian Space Agency. After leaving Queens, I moved to Montreal. You may recall that work for nuclear physicists was not easy to find at that time. So I joined the firm then called Northern Electric. It went through at least 2 name changes and is now called Nortel. While there, I worked as a "vanilla" scientist on what were then considered to be high speed cable communications problems. However, I left them about 2 years later, in 1972, and went to work in Ottawa for the Federal Government. After less than 2 years with the Department of National Defence, I transferred to the National Research Council, where I worked in Biomedical Engineering until 1990, transferring to the Canadian Space Agency in 1991. Over the years, I have become more involved in engineering and project management. My most interesting project was for the International Space Station. The Government of Canada is delivering the main tele-robotic systems to assemble the Space Station in low-earth-orbit. The larger manipulator, Canadarm2, was launched last year and immediately put into use to add the 2nd and subsequent modular building block to the space station; this year, a mobile base joined it, to increase Canadarm2's mobility. Along with an industrial team of about 30 people, my contribution was to develop the simulation systems for the conceptual and engineering design. Now the same simulation programs have been recycled and are used for astronaut training and operations planning on the Space Station. Since 1996, I have become involved more in program management, and now I am becoming somewhat of a "policy wonk". Canada is not as systematic as India in developing science policy. Consequently S&T and R&D are constantly in disarray here. Over the years, several attempts have been made to remedy the problem. Now, another attempt has begun, and I am part of it.
On the personal side, my former wife, Begona, and I went our separate ways in 1975. She remarried and now has an adult son. In 1998, I met Lise, a French-Canadian lady, then a single mom with a 14 year-old daughter, Nataly. We got along like the proverbial "house on fire", and now we have a 22 year-old son, Julien. Lise is a life-long student of Literature, History and Yoga. Nataly became a Sociologist, gaining her MA at the Université de Québec à Montréal, and then went to work for the World Food program in Mozambique during the civil war there. While in Africa, she met a French medical doctor working for "Doctors without borders". They are now married and living in Marseille, France, with their 2 children! Nataly has boundless energy, and also works for a Human Resource company in Marseille; she has also recently completed an MBA program at the University in Aix-en-Provence. Julien is still with us, and is trying to decide on his future. His aptitudes are in computer technology. However, opportunities are very limited now. You may have heard of the melt-down in the computer-tele-communications industry. Unfortunately, my former colleagues at Nortel lead the way to disaster. Nortel was one of the largest North American firms in the sector affected; it was certainly the largest in Canada. At its peak share value the company was worth more than all the other companies on the Toronto Stock Exchange combined. Today, it is worth practically nothing! Ottawa is where Nortel is headquartered, and former employees, mostly experts in computer telecoms, are roaming the streets unemployed.
Again, I shall be moving on. Starting Nov 4 for 10 months, I shall be on secondment to the Defence R&D Canada. You will receive an address change shortly after I start work there.
For now, best wishes to you and the family.

He is not listed in the Alumni Directory. He has a Ph.D. from Queen's. I do not know where he lives. The last I heard, he was working with Ontario Hydro. Something to do with nuclear power, I think.
We have exchanged several e-mails. He has not replied to my latest e-mail to him of 21 Jan 02, so I had given up sending messages to him.
