40th Anniversary

The “40th Anniversary of UCC” in 2011 was the Reunion of Staff, Teachers (Past and Present) and Students.

Daw Ngwe Tin, Aye Aye Myint and sisters, Maung Myint, who maintained the UCC building rooms were among the attendees.

Saya Dr. Tin Maung (GBNF) was represented by his spouse and daughter.

There was fun and laughter, music and dances, and good old memories.

Daw Khin Lay Myint (GBNF) joined UCC as Secretary and then became an Administrator Officer.

U Soe Myint (M72, GBNF) joined UCC as Operator. He served as Shift Lead, expert in Mechanical Drawing and AutoCAD, and retired as Pro-Rector of ICST. He came to see me during my last visit and shared his knowledge about U Lokanatha and Sayadaw’s financial support to buy the land for Kaba Aye Sun Lun Gu Kyaung. He gave me a “Chone Hte” (for monk). On the fateful day, he made two trips to the monastery, because he forgot his donation. He also visited his nephew and niece who had to have dialysis. May be because of his karma or because of the trips he tool that day, he passed away around 3 AM.

Khin Maung Zaw (KMZ) wrote :

Ko Soe Myint Gyi was one of the very humble people I have ever known. He spoke very soft, never see him angry nor heard him raise his voice. Even though I am some years junior to him (he’s M72 and me EC76) he always treated me with dignity and respect. I really miss him, may his beautiful soul rest in peace.
