    69ers Reunion in 1999

    30th Anniversary

    The 1969 RIT Graduates Reunion was held in Rangoon/Yangon, Burma/Myanmar on Saturday, 20 February 1999 at Sait-Teng-Kya Restaurant near Kandawgyi lake.

    Idea

    The idea was mooted three years ago when a few of us were having dinner together and thought of having a gathering in 1999. After that most of us have forgotten about the idea until around the end of November 1998 when a group of our friends led by Ko Yee Pinn (Tavoy), Ko Myint Maung (aka “Bu”, RIT Volleyball selected), Ko Shwe, Ko Win Lwin, etc. decided to have a grand re-union in February 1999. They also decided that to be more meaningful we should invite our Sayas to pay them respect as well and, hence, it became the reunion cum Saya-ga-daw-pwe.

    Attendees

    On that very day the guest trickled in starting from about 4.00 p.m at the restaurant. The guests were required to fill in their names and contact numbers. The organizers promised to compile the name list and send to everybody who attended. By 6.00 p.m. about 30 Sayas and about 120 of our graduates were in the restaurant. The master-of-ceremony, Ko Win Lwin, announced the start of the ceremony.

    Speeches

    The programme started off with a few speeches, led by Nyi Hla Nge, representing the graduates in Rangoon, followed by Danny, representing the graduates overseas, Sai Aung Win, representing graduates outside Rangoon and last but not the least, by Saya U Kyin Soe, representing all the Sayas.

    Paying respect

    After that we gave respect to the Sayas. All the Sayas were seated on the stage and all of us sat on the floor. Some gifts were distributed to the Sayas followed by photo taking session and then the sumptuous dinner began.

    Dinner & Entertainment

    About 9 to 10 dishes were served but, most of us were too excited to notice what we were eating. Halfway through the dinner some of us went up the stage and sang some songs for entertainment. Even all the ladies, led by Alice and Naw Mu Mu Aye were on the stage as well. The crowd went wild.

    Vow

    The party ended at about 9.30 p.m. with some of the graduates not so sober. It was indeed a memorable gathering and we all vowed to meet again in December 2000 at place and date to be announced early next year. Three cheers to the organizers and those who have one way or the other help in making this event a great success.

    Aung Thu Yein (SPHS63)

    Aung Thu Yein
    • Alias : A Nyo & Brownie Way
    • Younger brother of Dr. Thet Htar Way
    • Classmate at SPHS, I.Sc & RIT.

    ATY (Standing 2nd from right)

    St. Paul’s High School

    • Classmates in Std VIII(A), IX(A) and X(A).
    • In the lower classes, he was in Section (C). I was in Section (D).
    • Stood 13th in the whole of Burma in the Matric exam of 1963.
    • Won Collegiate Scholarship. Only 40 of the 100 scholarship awards were given to students from private schools.
    • SPHS had five in the Top Five, seven in the Top Ten, and ten in the top Twenty. Khin Maung U (1st), Min Oo (2nd), Myo San (Freddie, 3rd), Nyunt Wai (Victor, 4th), Thein Wai (5th), Hla Min (7th), Aung Kyaw Zaw (Johnny, 9th), Maung Maung Kyi (11th), Aung Thu Yein (Brownie, 13th), Khin Maung Zaw (Frank, 17th).
    • Has a soft heart.
    • Before the Matric exam, he read several subjects to Nyunt Wai (Victor), who was sick & could not study. Brownie could take credit for Victor’s success. Victor stood 4th in Burma & became medical professor in IM & Malaysia.

    Dr. Nyunt Wai wrote :

    Being my best friend since standard IV, I could write volumes about him. For now only two points: (1) my friend was called “ANyo”(Brownie) because he had much darker complexion compared with his elder brother (very fair complexion); this contrast repeated in the case of his two sons; (2) the brown brothers passed away years ahead of their fairer counterparts.

    University Days

    • We attended the last ever I.Sc.(A) at Leik Khone in 1963. We took the Science Option.
    • After a long closure citing Security Concerns following the July 7th Anniversary, a new Education System was established in November 1964.
    • Admitted to the first ever 2nd BE at the Gyogone Campus.
    • Chose Electrical Engineering as Major & EC (Electrical Communications) as Option.
    EE69
    • Played Soccer and Tennis
    ATY 3
    • Learned to smoke — trying to fend off mosquitoes in the RIT rest rooms.
    • Learned social drinking from his classmates (e.g “Robert” Win Boh) after the last paper of the RIT final exam.

    After Graduation

    • One of 13 EC Graduates
    • Had a successful career at MOC/Schlumberger, & several foreign assignments.
    • Became a heavy smoker & drinker. Felt lonely after the loss of spouse & eldest son.
    • Had minor & not-so-minor health problems.
    • Quit drinking & smoking for some time, but he still felt the urge.

    Last Meeting (in March 2012)

    • I visited Yangon to take part in preparations for SPZP-2012 (scheduled for December).
    • Zaw Lai came to see me. We decided to surprise Brownie. He trusted people. He did not lock his house. He closed the gate & boarded Zaw Lai’s car.
    • Zaw Lai coaxed him to take a couple of drinks.
    • That dinner at Zaw Lai’s apartment would be remembered as Brownie’s farewell.
    • Brownie did not show up at the 69er breakfast gathering at Royal Rose. The gathering was cut short when we learned that Brownie was in ICU and that the 69er HCF organizers would go to see him.
    • Kyaw Zin took Win Lwin, Khin Maung Bo & me to the ICU. Brownie’s son, who is a medical doctor, said that Brownie was not ready for another operation. We left with samvegha that he could very well be No 61 (on Aung Min’s GBNF list). Win Lwin told me to meditate and also “do something for yourself”.
    • I spent several days at the Kaba Aye Sun Lun Gu Kyaung as a monk. Sayadaw U Wara (ChE70) was my preceptor.
    • During that period, Brownie remained unconsciousness and he finally succumbed.
    • My 69er friends notified Brownie’s demise to my siblings, but requested not to notify me at the monastery.
      They did not want to disrupt my meditation practice.

    May Brownie be able to share my merits.

    Ah Hmya, ah hmya, ah hmya.

    Greetings

    Dear Sayas and Colleagues,

    Wishing all of you a Happy and Prosperous New Year.

    Thanks

    Thanks to all the readers — mostly silent but occasionally appreciative.

    RIT Sayas

    Since I was a Saya, but not at RIT, I was not as busy as my classmates who were RIT sayas attending SPZPs once or twice a day.

    Guest

    Some alums (e.g. class of 70 and 71, Mech 72, Civil 75) invited me as guest to their class reunions and/or SPZPs. Thanks.

    69ers

    My classmates (from the class of 69++) had a grand reunion lunch, where Ko Aung Min made a roll call of the GBNF before being entertained to food, drinks, welcome addresses, songs and dances. Thanks. Please read Ko Aung Min’s e-mail.

    With metta,

    Hla Min

    From U Aung Min (M69)

    Dear All 69++er Classmates,

    • Today, (31 December, 2012) we RIT 1969++ classmates held a grand re-union lunch successfully.
    • About 90 classmates including about 8 ladies join the re-union, from abroad and in land.
    • Although we sold the lunch tickets @ 10000 Kyats per head, KO TIN WIN (Mining) took the opportunity of hosting the re-reunion and providing Whiskey.
    • So, almost all the cash, sold amount, will be transferred to the 69er Health Care Fund
    • Ko Kyaw Zin also brought one liter of Chivas
    • Danny, Albert, and Saw Law La Htwe — good vocalists — entertained at the ceremony.

    With Metta,
    Aung Min
