• My father [U Yu Khin] was Warden of Prome Hall in 1946-1947 and their football team (green shirts) became my favorite.
  
• In 1946, former President of Burma Peter Wun [U Htin Kyaw] was delivered by my mother [Dr. Daw Phay] at Prome Hall at our residence.
  Mrs. Wun and my mother were classmates at ABM (American Baptist Mission) High School in Mandalay.
  
• The residences on Pagan Road was reserved for British in pre-war Burma.
  A few months before Independence on January 4, 1948, these residences became available to Burmese. U Wun (Minthuwun) had the residence in front of us which had the same floor plan.
  Dr. Maung Maung Kha‘s residence had the same floor plan as U Thein Han (Zawgyi).
  All of these two storey residences are built on one acre lots.
