Dear Mr. Manuel Mira: On pages 122-23, you talk about women going barefoot in Portugal. My mother mentions that the reason they took off their shoes back in the 40s and 50s was so that they would not ruin them through overuse.

You have a great website and I will continue to visit it.
Thanks

Estando à procura dum amigo, que já não vejo há muitos anos, mas que sei estar nos Estados Unidos da América, tenho andado a fazer pesquizas na Internet, para ver se encontro o endereço dele, ou o seu E-mail.
Entretanto, encontrei o seu registo, nas páginas por vós publicadas, no sector de CIENCIA, MEDICINA, e ENGENHARIA, como : JOAQUIM CORREIA, MD Saint James Hospital, Newark, NJ - 2003.
Trata-se efectivamente do meu amigo, JOAQUIM CORREIA CALDAS, natural de Ermesinde, Valongo, Distrito do Porto, e que emigrou para os EU muito cedo, onde trabalhou e estudou, tornando-se mais tarde num distinto médico, e a exercer cardiologia, (tanto quanto sei), no Saint James Hospital - Newark - NJ - 2003.
Pedia-lhes pois a fineza, de me concederem o seu E-mail, e/ou a sua morada, e/ou os seus contactos telefónicos, ou outros, afim de o poder contactar,
OU EM ALTERNATIVA, comunicar-lhe os meus contactos, que abaixo reproduzo...
Certo da vossa compreensâo e apoio, agradeçe-lhes penhoradamente,
