to me, Charith, Jayalath
Dear  all.
Received  the  sad  news  of  passing away  of   Udupihilla  this  morning.
It  was  very  sudden  ,and  passed  away  within  minuites.
Possibly  a  rupture  of   a  aneurysm  of  the  Aorta  ,  he  had  been  known  to  have had  for  some  time.
We   (Jayalath  and  two  of  us  )  hope  to  go  up to  his   home ,  and   hope  to  take  a  wreath  on  behalf  of  our  batchmates..

Philip.
Pl  inform  all  batch mates  ,  as  you  usually  do.
Thanks.

Hi Wedi:
             When you say batch of 1960 does it not mean all who entered medical school in 1960. So shouldn’t Gonsaga  be included even if he graduated much later.  On the contrary Rasalingam and Pameswaran Kandiah entered medical before 1960.
Yes, he failed the 2nd MB and fell back. He did finally graduate. I spoke to Sarath Hemachandra  and H.P Gunawardana and they remember him well. Gonsaga was a very low key guy. He sat next to me in the Physiology lecture theater.  I am 100% sure of him. I understand some  may  not be  remembering him because it is well over 55 yrs since we entered medical school. His name should be added to the departed list.
Bye
Nihal

Dear Nihal.
The  information  gathered  so  far  of  Gonsaga  is  that  he  fell  back  and  joined  the  junior  batch  at   third  MB  level.
It  is  not  clear  whether  he finally   qualified  with  others  that  batch ?
However  ,  people  in  1967  batc  do  not  remeber  his  name !
That  is  all  the  info  available.
Bye  for  now.
Wedi

Dear Pearl

Sad news of a  loss of another of our batch mates.
I have not had any contact with him since medical college days, nor did I recollect meeting him in any of our batch reunions.

You may be aware of the death of Dinil Wickremasuriya ( another of our batch mates) few days ago. The cremation is on the 25th (Wednesday ) st Kemnal Park Crematorium BR7 6RR at 3PM.

Sorry that I did not contact you for quite sometime and did not meet you for a long time as well.

Yes I am hoping to be at the ReUnion on the 7th July and I am aware of your attendance as I communicate with Wedi , Philip and Asoka often.

Regards

Nana
