    U Thein Aung (James, Met72) studied Body Building under Bohmu Maung Maung (father of Sayama Rosy Maung [RIT English]).

    He was Mr. RIT in 1968 and was awarded a “Sa Lwei Thaing“.

    There were two Thein Aung in the Class of 72.

    U Thein Aung (M72) would jokingly differentiate the two as :

    I am Set Hmu — Maung Thein Aung.

    He is Set Hmu Maung — Thein Aung.

    Editor’s Notes:

    • After retirement, Saya U Kyaw Myint relocated to Daly City, California, USA.
    • A few months ago, Saya lost his beloved spouse Dr. Daw Kyin Yee.
    • Since Daw Kyin Yee was a body donor, the last rites were performed in private.
    • The “La Lei Soon Kwyay” was offered a month later at Dhammananda Vihara, Half Moon Bay, California.
