== Anecdotes ==
*A story recounted to this author by the gentleman in question shows his good natured sense of humour. While he was Governor or the Seychelles Central Bank he was on a visit to Singapore. At that time his signature was on the Seychelles rupee notes. He was asked for further proof of his signature for a credit card transaction and not having his passport with him he pulled out a sheaf of Rupee notes of different denominations all with his signature on and asked "will this be sufficient proof".〔Personal Interview〕
*He was an everyman. Very much the Indian-Creole French - British Gentleman at home with presidents and dignitaries on one day and on the next day while eating at a restaurant with this editor happily able to drink and socialise with a group of visiting US Navy matelots and get invited onboard ship by the chief of the boat the next day.〔Personal Interview〕
*Soon after graduating as a chartered accountant, he returned to the Seychelles, but as a young man he told me he wished for wider horizons initially. With a UK qualification in his hand and postwar a vestigial British Empire remained - he simply looked around the Commonwealth at where he might work and ended up in Sandakan - then the capital of British North Borneo. He worked there several years just prior to their independence before returning home to his native Seychelles.〔Personal Interview〕
