to me, Mana Dear Philip  What a surprise mini reunion, thanks to the willingness and support to an informal appeal for a mini get together, at such a short notice of Less than 24 hrs.  Quite a few came all the way from Kandy and Avissawella and some had come from UK, USA for the 150 year celebration of Colombo Medical College. We we very fortunate to get confirmation for a group booking at Galle Face Hotel after lots of failed efforts around Colombo. The location and the ambience was ideal for this informal gathering in quiet and almost private surroundings for this ‘meet & Greet’ occasion. Total of 21 ( 14 batch mates and 7 spouses) were totally surprised to meet some they had not met for years and not surprisingly few could not even recognise some of the previously familiar faces. Gossip and past reminiscences were shared with flash back memories. The wide spread mouth watering Sri Lankan buffet was consumed with much delight. We managed to get the current contact details from everyone ( some still appear allergic to the use of email contacts) and agreed to update & share the 1960 medical entrants circulation list maintained by Philip & Mana. It was a dream come true and after the memorable party, every one left with renewed memories and blissful joy. The following were present; Amarasekera L.R.  (1),  Aryasinghe Vipula, his wife Sushila and their daughter Shivanthi (3), Athulathmudali Conrad (1),  Dissanayake Asoka(1),  Fernando Ranjan (1),  Fernandopulle Maxi, his wife Rohini(2), Gunasekera Asoka and wife Ramya (2),  Gooneratne Nihal & his wife Sarojini(2),   Kasturiratna and his wife Nimala(2),  Nanayakkara C.S. & his wife Sarojini(2),  Thenabadu Nihal & his wife Shirani (2),  Veerasingham Philip (1) and Wedisinghe Mana & his wife Piyaseeli. ( Total of 14 batch mates & 7 spouses.). Can I thank all those who agreed to be present in spite of their ever busy schedule, Vipula & his daughter Shivanthi for assisting me to confirm the location and the bookings at such short notice and all other batch mates & their spouses for their presence and assistance in various ways to make this event so special and memorable. Wishing you all a very happy, healthy, peaceful and trouble free future. Good bye till we meet again. Nana Charith Sena  Nanayakkara
