RONALD D'RAVARA
who belonged to an old Lucknow family worked in Mohan Meakins along with his younger brother, Neville till retirement. He remained unmarried. Ronald had planned for his retirement saving a reasonable sum of money in post office bonds but, it wasn't to be, because the post official had swindled many like Ronald and built a palatial home for herself.
Several years ago when I meet him out walking in the mornings first with his old mother and after her death, alone, he told me the case was in court. I doubt he recovered any of his savings because that's what a court case means, here.
Ronald had a sister Kathleen who died several years ago while one sister, Pamela Raymond, a widow is in bad health at the Dorothy Crosthwaite Homes, Lucknow. Pamela's daughter, Lillian Mishra died a couple of years ago. There was Danny, another brother who also died years ago, hit by a Jeep.
