Invitation

• Ivan Lee (M69) invited us — U Aung Myint (Saya, M69), U Sein Tin (Omega, M69) and I — to get together at his house in New Jersey preferably in May-June of 2015.
• U Aung Myint & U Sein Tin had visited him on previous occasions. They could not make it to the 2015 mini-reunion.

Fred

• Frederick Thetgyi (M69) joined the 2015 mini-reunion.
• He drove most of the 1800+ mile trip. Ivan provided his Mercedes & gas.
• Except for the rare occasion where his batteries went out (and had to be replaced), Fred took pictures at the mini-reunion and the trip.
• He would appear only in a fraction of the photos, when someone else (Ivan, a waiter, or a stranger) offered to take the photo.
