Hi Dr. Ko Ko Gyi,
I also studied in Kingswood School for 2 years from 1955 to May 1957, in
Std. 5 and 6. This was when my father was working as the Chief Civil Engineer at the Baluchang Hydro-electric Project in Loikaw. I now live in
California, USA. I have such wonderful memories of Kingswood School.
It would be nice to hear from you and be able to reconnect.
Warm regards,
O.C. Ninan
