Monthly BFG
- Before the pandemic, 69ers had Monthly Breakfast Gatherings usually at Taw Win Hnin Si (Royal Rose Restaurant).
- Some celebrate Birthdays & Wedding Anniversaries at the gathering.
- Han Sein, Uzin Bobby and several 69ers took photos and shared them on FB.
- 20 classmates left us in 2021. Some in the group photo — Toby, Thein Swe, Aye Lwin, Han Sein, Aung Gyi Shwe, Kyaw Nyunt, Tin Tun — are GBNF.
- Aung Min & team organized a monthly meeting .
- Win Boh (Robert, Australia) was a special guest at the meeting. Surinder Singh (Australia) had a schedule conflict.
- Kyaw Nyunt brought back presents given by Fred Thetgyi (Philadephia) to the meeting, and organized a “Lucky Draw”.
- Han Sein was happy testing special effects (e.g. to create “twins”) with his phone camera.
- Tin Aung Win / Oscar offered me car rides : to the meeting and back. On the way back, we chatted with Aye Lwin and Kyaw Zin on the car.
- Aye Lwin was Secretary of RIT Mechanical Association and RIT Ah Nu Pyinnya Ah Thin. He was a member of the committee for printing and publishing Set Hmu Magazine (by Mechanical Engineering Association) and RIT Annual Magazine. He attended the 2015 Alumni Reunion in Los Angeles with his daughter and son. He is now GBNF.
- Harry Tin Htut, Oscar, Aung Min, Uzin Bobby and Tin Maung Aye posted photos in “RIT69ers” and “RIT Updates” Facebook pages.
Update
- The gatherings were suspended during the pandemic.
- Recently, the BFG was for July and August Combined. Transportation Restriction and Medical Problems may be reasons for changing the Schedule from Monthly to Bimonthly (once every two months).
- The 69er GBNF list now has 146 members. The recent entries include Mehm Ye Win (EC), Ko Tin Swe (Zeegone, Tex) and Ko Win Thein Zaw (Min).
