    by Hla Min

    Updated : June 2025

    Dr. Khin Maung Zaw (Frank Gale, SPHS63)

    Frank (Standing : second from left)
    • Stood 17th in the Matriculation exam in 1963.
    • Retired after working in the UK.
    • He visited Yangon to see his mother, elder sisters and Old Paulians.
    • His eldest sister, who was taking care of the mother, passed away unexpectedly. The mother followed soon.

    U Khin Maung Zaw (“KMZ”, SPHS70, EC76)

    KMZ (Right)
    • Attended St. Paul’s High School
    • Matriculated in 1970 from No. (6) Botahtaung SHS State High School (name of SPHS after nationalization in 1965)
    • Due to disturbances, the convocation for KMZ’s class took place in March 1977. For simplicity & consistency), we call his class as “Class of 76”.
    • Represented All Universities in Hockey and RIT in Rowing.
    Hockey
    • Played as the last defender in the RIT Hockey Team. Many played for the University & All-Institutes Team. He coached Thura Thant Zin (goalkeeper). At RUBC, Thura coached KMZ.
    • Helped Maung Maung Hnyut & brothers (major players for the Graduation Photos).
    • Volunteered at UCC. He usually brought an empty lunch box and a spoon. Several friends and some “ah ma gyis” would provide him lunch.
    • Took courses at UCC, but flatly refused to do some assignments (e.g. COBOL).
    • Worked in Singapore and then migrated to US. He has been in the Seattle region since his arrival in the US.
    KMZ in Seattle
    • When my company subsidized my vacation trip (for the successful completion of a project), we visited KMZ at his old house. He showed us around (including a day trip to Vancouver, Canada). He showed me his wine cellar. Since I do not drink, I ended up with his concoction (“ginger beer (or similar) with ice cream”).
    • Founding member of RIT Alumni International
    • We were lucky when we were planning for SPZP-2000. He was working four 10-hour week with the Technology and Architecture Group of Nordstrom (where he had time & luxury to play with several computer systems).
    • Accepted the call of Saya U Soe Paing (our mentor at UCC) and me to set up a web site for RIT sayas and alumni.
    • Designed and implemented the first RIT web site. He was then an eligible bachelor and had a three day weekend. He burned the midnight oil preparing for the SPZP-2000.
    • Promised SPZP-2000 attendees that he would work on Version 2.0 of the web site. Things changed. Had a wonderful job at Microsoft and also started a wonderful family. A busy schedule at work and at home meant that maintaining and extending the web site would no longer have the top priority. He longer had time for RIT Updates.
    • Visited SF Bay Area in March 2018 to attend the retirement soon kyway of Maurce Chee (M75). There was a pre-soon kwyay gathering at a Sea Food Restaurant in San Mateo.
    • Mailed me two books that he bought in Myanmar. One is “U Thant Ah Ye Ah Khin” by Htein Win (Photo). The other is a “tran-composition” of Saya Zaw Gyi’s poems about Pagan by Ah May Thar.
    • After retirement, he is doing forensics on his old desktops and PCs to recover albums, and articles.
    • Has provided tags and comments for my postings.
    KMZ’s visit to SF Bay Area

    U Khin Maung Zaw (SPHS71, EE77)

    • Per KMZ, the “other Khin Maung Zaw” is also from SPHS, 71 batch. He’s an active member & instigator of OPA (Old Paulians Association) as well as RIT Electrical 1971-77 group.
    • EE77 group donated Kyat 77 Lakhs collected mainly from the group towards the flood victims through Daw Khin Kyi foundation. Amazingly he was able to cajole exactly Kyat 77L to commemorate 1977 batch folks. Sadhu! Sadhu Sadhu!
    • Interesting enough he and KMZ overlap in several areas, SPHS, RIT including Hockey and Rowing at RIT,

    U Khin Maung Zaw (T76)

    Per Ko Myat Thein (Adam K Khan, EP76) :

    There is another Khin Maung Zaw (whom I called Ngachate tayoke literally meaning Black Chinese because he has dark complexion) Class 76 Textile. We had very good conversations at D9 when we were final year students.

    Tag

    Tag may mean a label.

    In FB, tagging a post makes a copy to the Timeline of the person being tagged.

    There are pros and cons for using FB tags. e.g. Someone may receive multiple of a post that is being revised incrementally.

    In FB, the individuals in a photo may be tagged. There are pros and cons for using FB photo tags.

    Some algorithms used by FB to process photo tags have features. e.g. I have a photo with U Osadha of Dhammananda Vihara. FB asked me to tag Ashin Pannagavesaka (Uzin Bobby Myo Tun, A69) even though he was not present in the picture. The algorithms do not handle the case correctly for Theravada Buddhist monks.

    In the early days, there is game called “Tag”.

    There used to be Rag Tag Bands.

    TAG – Technology and Architectures Group

    by KMZ

    The last group I worked in my first company. Took me 10 years in that company to get into that group, starting from the very bottom when I arrived in US. The very first year in US, every interviewer told me I would get bored in several months in the job I interviewed for. Some of them even referred me to outside Agencies.

    This first company was and still is, a retail company, where technology and IT were treated as second class citizen. Even worth the new retechnoligies we tried to push out, the higher ups were not enthusiastic about it. They see IT being the money spending “Cost Center” not a “Revenue Generating” aka merchandise selling department.

    After they pushed out long time VP of IT was transferred to newly created online entity website, TAG was abolished. I was in the middle of another technologies, Data Warehouse/Data Mart and Internet, got transferred into Database group.

    IBM, having deep connections to our IT, we were running Big Blue, like any other big IT shops. IBM got a foot hold to sell their web/internet technologies. I was in the minority of IBM’s internet products (1997/1998), and was pushed aside. It didn’t work out well so Microsoft’s Professional Services was brought in. My former VP asked me to come to his new department, but I got pushed aside again because Microsoft folks complained that I asked them too many questions.

    That was the end of my career with the retail company.

    Au Revoir!!! Adios!!!
