    Reunions

    In April and May of 1999, I received a series of e-mails from Saya U Soe Paing, my mentor at RIT & UCC, and Sayagadaw Alice (Saw Yu Tint, T69) about the mini-reunions in Yangon and Singapore.

    U Soe Paing & Alice

    Newsletter

    I created an e-mail newsletter and passed on the news to several ex-faculty and alumni. They, in turn, forwarded the newsletter to their sayas, friends, and colleagues. The mailing list soon numbered 200+.

    My Dreams

    In my e-mails, I recounted my dreams:
    • to have the sayas, alumni and associates connected
    • to have mini-reunions, reunions, and eventually a Grand Union

    Reach Out

    KMZ

    Thanks to Ko Khin Maung Zaw (KMZ, EC76), our web master, we were able to reach out to faculty, alumni & associates in 30+ countries. They number 800+. The Guest Book entries express surprise, delight, nostalgia, pride, camaraderie, etc. One of my dreams has been fulfilled.

    Photo Gallery

    Several mini-reunions and reunions have taken place. Some are documented in the “Photo Gallery” section.
    • ’69 Grads
    • ’64 Intakes
    • Alumni in Australia
    • Alumni in New Zealand
    • Alumni in UK
    • Alumni in Singapore
    • Alumni in Canada
    • Dinners in honor of Sayas U Num Kock, Dr. Aung Gyi, U Aung Khin, etc.

    Grand Reunion

    The idea was accepted from the start, but the question of logistics was a crucial factor.

    • Have we reached a critical mass?
    • How easily can we reach out to faculty, alumni and associates from all over the world about such an event?
    • How can we raise enough money to sponsor the event?

    The idea was discussed in detail during Saya U Aung Khin’s visit to the Bay Area. October 28-29 weekend was tentatively chosen to have a “Reunion and Homage”.

    Later, during the discussion between the Northern California alumni and Southern California alumni, the term “Saya Pu Zaw Pwe ဆရာပူဇော်ပွဲ” meaning “honoring all sayas” was chosen over “Saya Ga Daw Pwe ဆရာကန်တော့ပွဲ” which has religious connotations. “Saya Ga Daw Pwe” remains an optional event.

    In the subsequent meetings, the Steering Committee, Working (aka Executive) Committee, and subcommittees were formed.

    Finally, several members showed commitment by purchasing tickets. The money was used as non-refundable deposit for reserving “Embassy Suites Hotel” rooms for the main event.

    Several alumni and associates have also donated money and presents to the “Saya Pu Zaw Pwe” fund. Amounts, big or small, are welcome.

    We sincerely hope that the forthcoming “Reunion and Saya Pu Zaw Pwe” will be a resounding success.

    U Sein Shan (GBNF)

    U Sein Shan
    • During our RIT days, he was Lecturer & Head of the RIT Maths Department.
    • He passed away in October 2006.
    Condolences
    • He is the father of Ko Thant Zin (M82, GBNF), volunteer of RIT-related organizations and activities.

    Yan Gyi Aung wrote :

    Sayar U Sein Shan was my most familiar Mathematics Sayar since BIT period 1961-62. At that time engineering students were only about over 100. Female students were only two, one each at Textile and Chemical Department.

    He was the President of Point 22-Rifle Club of BIT and I was the Secretary.We usually went to South Okkalapa Shooting Range and practiced.

    While he was suffering from heart disease at his home in about 1999 in Mayangone, I frequently went to his house and encouraged him.Also when taking treatment at RGH hospital, at Cardiac Hall No 19/20, I went to him carrying boiled rice and some eatables as breakfast.

    Very remarkable and historic event he did was while Major Subjects (Lines, such as Civil, Chemical, etc) performed Respect paying ceremonies to the respective department Sayars, Mathematics Department had no such ceremony. Mathematics Department always had no ceremony at that time. So Sayar U Sein Shan invited all the engineering students at the Daily News Paper that he would celebrate a friendship dinner to serve all engineering students with Danbauk rice at the Nawarat Hotel in 2000, I think. Very peculiar Sayar was!

    Dr. Saw Tin (GBNF)

    Some time back, we met the Saya’s younger brother, who had studied at RIT & UCC. He became a monk at Pa Auk monastery. He was visiting Half Moon Bay monastery. He participated in the consecration of a Sima (သိမ်) in Southern California.

    He told us that Saya lost memory (e.g. to eat) during his final days. His spouse Daw Thida, who is a cousin of Ko Daniel Tint Lwin (M69), was busy taking care of saya. She learned too late that she had a medical problem.

    Dr. Saw Tin & Daw Thida
    Obituary

    Both passed away within a month or two.

    As an assistant of Sayagyi Dr. Chit Swe, I worked with several sayas from the Maths Departments — including Saya Dr. Saw Tin — for High School Mathematics & CTK (Children’s Treasury of Knowledge).

    Dr. Yan Naing Lwin wrote :

    My deepest condolences !
    He was at UI-Urbana in 1985-86 as a Fulbright Scholar, in the Math Dept .
    This was after Ko Chit Swe & 5 Fulbright Scholars have visited UI in 1982 for six months. I had arranged their visit with US Embassy help in Rangoon in 1982.
    I saw Ko Saw Tin at his residence in Rgn in 2000 . I did not know about his demise until today.

    Daniel Tint Lwin wrote :

    Thank you Ko Hla Min. Yes, I dearly miss my cousin, Thida, and her husband, Dr Saw Tin. This picture was taken from the book Yangon Echoes which Saya U Soe Paing showed me.

    The book Yangon Echos featured unique places in Yangon and the Pinlon residence, where my cousin was staying, was also featured.
