Daw Kyi May Nwe Last journey Some attandants  Some attandants Dr Tin Hlaing and family

Dear Sayas and Colleagues,

    Early this morning, Ko Maurice woke me up and said sadly that his
beloved Saya had passed away, and that he would forward me an email for
further distribution.

    I should have simply done that but I wanted to add an eulogy.
That's when Murphy's Law came in.

    I could not log on to the Internet. I had to reinstall my DSL
client. In a hurry to leave for work on time, I committed a cardinal
sin -- sending off that e-mail without double checking its contents.

    As I arrived at my office, an e-mail came in from Ko Thet Win that
I had made a mistake. The setup at my office would not allow
mass-mailing, so I replied to Ko Thet Win what had happened and cc'ed
it to Maurice.

    During the course of the day, I received "corrections" (or "asking
to verify the contradiction") from several Sayas and alums: Saya Dr.
Aung Soe, Saya Allen Htay, Ko Daniel Tint Lwin, Ko Myat Htoo, ...

    When I got back home, one of my CD-ROM drives was behaving badly;
the CD holder won't go back in smoothly and would not allow the system
to boot. What a day!

    Finally, after praying and asking for forgiveness from Saya Dr. Tin
Hlaing, the computer system returned to normal. And here I am
mass-mailing to undo the confusion that I might have caused.

    Saya is alive and well. It was Sayagadaw!

Phet Ye dispenser").

That's all for now.
