My Beloved Spouse

She had supported my volunteer activities for nearly five decades.

I completed 20+ years as Founder and Editor of “RIT Alumni Newsletter Updates”.

She attended several RIT gatherings starting with SPZP-2000. U Htaik San (Henry, M81, Past Captain and RUBC Gold) took our picture at the 2015 RIT Alumni Reunion in Los Angeles held at the Knott Berry Farms. U Thaung Sein (Steeve, EC70) and his Kay Family Foundation provided a matching fund of US $30000 for the event.

She is a Caring Spouse, a Dutiful Mother, and a Loving Grandmother. She asked me to take care of my health and minimize the long hours on the computer.

She loves to sing and dance at the gatherings. I am an amateur musician who plays the instruments (piano, key board, guitar, harmonica) by ear.

Here’s my birthday wish:

May you be blessed with Good Health, Abundant Wealth, Unbounded Love, Peace, Calm, Tranquility … for many more years to come.
