Last Journey

• I was honored to push the incinerator, and later to scatter the ashes in the ocean near Santa Cruz
• I wrote about his Sea Burial for Burmese American Professional Society (BAPS) Newsletter.

• U Khin Maung Zaw (KMZ, EC76) set up special web page for HLN. My poem HTAY LWIN NYO was also posted there.
• There was no next-of-kin of HLN in the USA. KMZ remembered that Kyaw Zwa Than (Jaws, UCC) was HLN’s cousin. The missing link was supplied by some alumni (including Ko Ko Kyi).

Ko Hla Min, sad to read about Htay Lwin Nyo’s sea burial. I played a small part in notifying his first cousin Myo San Than in Toronto, when my brother called me from Birmingham, UK and informed me about HLN’s demise. Apparently, someone from California had contacted a friend of my brother’s and asked him to inform me, as he knew that HLN had a cousin living in Toronto. I informed HLN’s cousin Myo San Than, who called his elder brother living in Winnipeg, Canada. Subsequently, this cousin went to the US for HLN’s funeral. HLN was a good friend of mine, although he was two years my junior at RIT.
