Invitation

Ivan Lee (M69) invited several 69ers to get together at his house in New Jersey around June-July of 2015. U Aung Myint & U Sein Tin (who had visited Ivan previously) could not make it to the 2015 mini-reunion.

Fred Thetgyi (M69)

• Lives in Philadelphia
• Joined the 2015 mini-reunion
• Drove most of the 1800+ mile trip in Ivan’s Mercedes
• Except when his batteries went out (and had to be replaced), he 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 complete stranger) would offer to take the photo.
