P.S.Iam writing about Sayagyi U Kyee Paw.
I am Thankful: FOR THE WIFE WHO SAYS IT'S HOT DOGS TONIGHT, BECAUSE SHE IS HOME WITH ME, AND NOT OUT WITH SOMEONE ELSE. FOR THE HUSBAND WHO IS ON THE SOFA BEING A COUCH POTATO, BECAUSE HE IS HOME WITH ME AND NOT OUT AT THE BARS. FOR THE TEENAGERWHO IS COMPLAINING ABOUT DOING DISHES, BECAUSE IT MEANS HE IS AT HOME AND NOT ON THE STREETS. FOR THE TAXES I PAY BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM EMPLOYED. FOR THE MESS TO CLEAN UP AFTER A PARTY BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE BEEN SURROUNDED BY FRIENDS.
FOR THE CLOTHES THAT FIT A LITTLE TOO SNUG BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE ENOUGH TO EAT.
FOR MY SHADOW THAT WATCHES ME WORK BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM OUT IN THE SUNSHINE.
FOR A LAWN THAT NEEDS MOWING, WINDOWS THAT NEED CLEANING, AND GUTTERS THAT NEED FIXING, BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE A HOME. FOR ALL THE COMPLAINING I HEAR ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT, BECAUSE IT MEANS WE HAVE FREEDOM OF SPEECH.
FOR THE PARKING SPOT I FIND AT THE FAR END OF THE PARKING LOT, BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM CAPABLE OF WALKING AND I HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH TRANSPORTATION.
FOR MY HUGE HEATING BILL BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM WARM.
FOR THE LADY BEHIND ME IN CHURCH WHO SINGS OFF KEY ! ! BECAUSE IT MEANS I CAN HEAR.
FOR THE PILE OF LAUNDRY AND IRONING BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE CLOTHES TO WEAR. YOU KNOW, I AM THANKFUL FOR MY SHOES, BECAUSE THAT MEANS I AM NOT BAREFOOT!!
FOR WEARINESS AND ACHING MUSCLES AT THE END OF THE DAY, BECAUSE IT MEANS THAT I HAVE BEEN CAPABLE OF WORKING HARD.
FOR THE ALARM THAT GOES OFF IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS, BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM ALIVE.
AND FINALLY, EVEN FOR TOO MUCH E-MAIL, BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE FRIENDS WHO ARE THINKING OF ME.
NOW GO AHEAD AND SEND THIS TO SOMEONE YOU CARE ABOUT. I JUST DID.
Can Aye Sandar and SWO kindly give me more precise info. My former
student wants to buy for Saya better accomodation, as per her late
father's instructions amd wish.
Love
Saya

Same to you and your family too, Saya !
Now SWO's in Chin hills and every one else is apparently quiet - so
for me nothing else to report to the group.
We always appreciate your bios on the Pioneers series, appreciate more
for sharing with other groups too.
So glad to see other IM 1 grads are contributing in their own ways. We
also got the idea from 1979 group - so whatever way, we could help -
should make a tiny difference in their peaceful retired lives.
'Tis the season !

Me and Ne Win opened a bank account for our "US" funds with a title of "IM1, Rangoon, Retired Teachers' Fund" , so whoever wants to make donations to this fund can make check payable to "IM1 Rangoon, Retired Teachers' Fund" or simply "IM1 RTF". We will also open a PO Box so that they can mail their checks to it.
If anyone has better idea or even has a desire to take care of the account, I'm more than happy to surrender my role and give the helms to that person - if someone wants to step up to the plate.
Happy Holidays everyone !

Well done, AAW. Where did you get all those data from ?
WE should do as much as we can. Any one with any good knowledge of our
old teachers, should contribute to this column.
One day, we can keep all those valuable information under one uniform
place.
Stan.
How are you all? We are doing fine. I just forwarded the e-mail from Dicky to share the news and photos.
Ko Zaw Myint and Ko Oung Thain- Can I have e-mail address and phone number of Ko Aung Gyi, please? Do you have Maung Chan Aung's e-mail address also?
Aung Naing- I called you but may be the number is wrong. I couldn't reach you.
Regards,
Shwe Zin

> To: <1979im1@yahoogroups.com> Date: Sun, 4 Dec 2005 15:03:41 +0630 Subject: [1979im1] Contribution to Dr. Dutt
Dear Friends,
This morning, together with Myint Myint Win who arrived Ygn yesterday afternoon, Theresa,Ma Saw Mu and me go to Dr. Dutt's place and contributes quarterly regular financial support of 40,000 Kyats plus 50,000 Kyats left to contribute for age 75 and above Saya Kadaw Pwel ,held in last month. Dr. Dutt is now 77, hard in hearing, left eye operated for cataract, right eye is about to operate soon. Now, he is hiring an apartment which is quite fair, situated in No. 50, 3rd floor, Aawba Street, Kyauk Myaung, much better than previous place in Hlaing Thar Yar.
Anyway, I m quite happy that because of our efforts, our old Sayas get a lot of support from other batches of IM 1 and hope their daily lives are quite different from previous years with much better standard of living. Here are some photos attached.
Dear Johnny, as you'd already started it, even thou it was intended for your kids, I think you should share with the rest of us. I would like to know your premedical college years, from kidder garden to high school, and what had happened from 1972 to 1988, and why you were denied of the professorship, I heard some rumors, but I would like to hear it from the horse's mouth, and then the years in almost exile, in Bangalar Dash, in Pe-Jing, and in Fiji etc etc.. Please write it after you'd retired, I will bet every one is itchy to death to find out.
Writing autobiograhies has been defined as the ultimate self- gratificatin (using a less rude word than it was defined !). Ko TMT - have started this some years ago, not for publication but for my children.
Am very fond of physicains who took up writing and became famous: Somerset Maughman esp. Of Human Bondage; AJ Cronin - Adventurs in the Two Worlds, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and his Sherlock Holmes stories based on a Profesor of Medicine from Guy's Hopsital London, Ricahrd Gordon - an anesthetist who wrote the Doctor in the House Series; Dr. Robin Cook and his books;
Saya maung Maung Nyo is the only Burmese author who has writen autobiogra[phical and semi-biographical books in Burmes; SAyagyi U Myint Swe who wrote in Burmese " Hmat Me Bar Thay The, Japanese Khit Yangon Say Yone Gyi Wai"
What I had jotted down , many may consideed as either incredulous or libelous !!!!

Guys, please do not worry about losing your idendity, Med-school alumni has nothing to do with the local associations, or groups.IM-1RTFand or BAMA will carry on with their own agendas, Alumni is the ex-college studends trying to have fun and to help out our old college..
Please let me assure you of a number of things (a) we really want im1rtf to go on as you are doing excellent work (b) I wrote earlier that meeting SWO, ASW and Thin Thin were an inspiration for me: the fact that Ko Aye Ngwe, Ko Tin maung Tun and I joined you all , is we just want to join hands.(c) I will be retiring soon so wil have time to give a lot of thought to the idea od the Alumni assocaition (d) all of us feel that we need to repay the debts we owe to our teachers, our school , our country (e) we all feel taht if we all unite somehow in a focussed way, we may achieve more
Let me quote one of my closest friends and colleague in UNICEF, what he often say when tough issues about children were being raised and he wanted people to do more:
IF NOT NOW, WHEN ?
IF NOT THIS, WHAT ?
IF NOT YOU, WHO ?
I will leave you all with the above three questions.
Do you mean TOKM,? The time I was with him was from 1962 to 1971, it won't be fair just to write about that period only, I think we should push him to do the autobiography, I won't mind if he reveals all my nge-jyo-nge-nar in his writing. What about it , Johnny ? If you don't mind I will tell the group about our time in wards 5 & 6.
Stan, you'd missed the good show, Mo-Di and Kin-Kaung are very talented and funny comedians, the San Francisco show was one of the best. I hope the video will be available soon.

Saya Tony Lee:
Why don't you write about our most energetic and most prolific contributor to online (at least that I know of) Burmese medical community ?
For me, he definitely deserves a place in our hearts - always.
(A friend from Bay area sent in your photos with other visiting comedians from Burma - just envy your hobby !)
Thanks much, Saya !
Stan

Now with the electronic communications, most of these problems are solved. And with the new interests and the new will and leadership of Ko Johnny, THIS CAN BE DONE!!!! Of course we need all the helps from every one, please tell us your thaughts, be it be a negative or a positive remarks, as in the stage of planning, we do need the devil advocates to point out the pitfalls, so that we can avoid those errors. With the Burmese backgrounds, we all feel err-nar-deh in most of the things we do in life, especially in criticizing some thing or some one, I don't think it was due to the gyun-sa-nit, colonial influcence,that we brought up with,it has more to do with our culture and tradition, > as to respect each other, especially the elders,not to get involve with some thing that is not yours, and don't want to involve because it is shoat-te, and want to be let alone, minding his or her own business, and enjoying the peace of mind and freedom. We are also easily contented with ourselves, and don't need much to be contented, so, forming the alumni becomes an extra head ache for us, and we don't lose any thing by ignoring it. These are a few things that had come up in my head when I was pondering about the above few questions.Overall we are a nation of good people, very polite, very generous, over courteous, and extremely shy, and try to keep it to ourselves. > But, now, it is time to get involved and do some thing for our alma-mata, and pay back little to our old school,cuz, what we are today is due to her!. > Have a happy holiday season! > TMT. > Eng Moy <ENGANDIVY@h...> wrote: > This is the intrinsic problem of our exposure back home.
