Welcome back Saya U Aung Khin & Saya U San Tun

Saya U Kyaw Myint (M/Auto64) was then stationed in Beijing on a UN assignment. He invited his former sayas U Aung Khin and U San Tun to visit him.

After the two sayas returned from the China trip, there was a mini-gathering by the San Francisco Bay Area RIT alumni to welcome them back.

Saya U Hla Myint Thein (C69) attended the C71 gathering since his spouse Daw Myint Myint Than is C71.

 The December 2018 breakfast gathering will be hosted by U Khin Maung Chit.

C73 in Canada

Dennis Mackey (Kyaw Thu, C73) and George Peters (C73) did their final year project at UCC. Their supervisor was Saya Allen Htay (C58, GBNF).

George moved to Perth, Australia. I met him at the RIT Reunion Dinner in Sydney, Australia in 2006.

Dennis moved to Auckland, New Zealand. He reported about the alumni activities in NZ along with Saya Dr. Koung Nyunt (A67, GBNF) and Stanley Saw (Myo Lwin, M71).

After retirement, Dennis moved to Canada. In late 2018, he paid respect to Sayagyi Dr. Aung Gyi.
