DVD

EE69
- Received the official DVD of the 40th Anniversary gathering & mini-SPZP of the class of ’69. It took about two hours to view the DVD.
- Myint Thein (Maung Kabar, GBNF) — a core organizer who offered the use of his office for the preparation meetings — looked as young as ever.
- It is difficult to recognize some faces and remember their real and nick names. Except for thin, grey or dyed hair, a few have changed much over the years.
- Ko Aung Min, Master of Ceremonies, appeared to have gained some weight.
- Ko Thein Swe (GBNF) described the event in his e-mail.
Sayas who attended the event
- U Ba Than (M)
- U Khin Aung Kyi (ChE, former Rector)
- U Thit (Met, Melbourne, Australia)
- U Myo Myint Sein (Arch, California, US),
- U Thein Lwin (EE, Singapore)
- U Soe Paing (my mentor at RIT & UCC)
- U Moe Aung (EE, Tekkatho Moe War, Chief Editor of “Swe Daw Yeik Sar Saung”, “Hylat Sit Sar Saung)
- U Ba Myint (EE, former Pro-Rector)
- U Khine Oo (EE)

- U Han Tun (M, GBNF)
- Dr. Thaung Myint (Maths)
- Dr. Kyaw Win (Pet)
- Daw Tin Myint (ChE)
Some sayas (e.g. Saya U Shwe Hlaing) could not make it to the event.

Saya U Khin Aung Kyi, Saya U Thein Lwin and Saya U Moe Aung gave short speeches on behalf of the sayas and sayamas.

In the DVD, the commentator mentioned the name and department of the saya/sayama.

We wish he had thrown in more names of the attendees [not just the presenters & the performers] so that we can match the names and faces of our long lost classmates.
