Remembering Lalith Mendis, Neil Fonseka and Vasanthanathan.

It is time to recall some of our batch-mates who have passed away. The pictures above show the ever smiling Lalith Mendis who died of a stroke, Neil Fonseka who had a degenerative disease and Vasanthanathan who died of bullet wounds from the IPKF, in Vavuniya, Sri Lanka.

25th Anniversary get-together, Kandy, Sri Lanka.

I took this picture on an Olympus 10. The late Lalith Mendis, 'Karals' and Pushpa Amarasiri nee Ranasinghe are seen in the picture, all three still young and sprightly..

Geri Jayaseka our ever jovial batch-mate, gave an imitation of a 'one armed fiddler', at our 40th Anniversary reunion at Habarana. This is a picture of it taken in low light.

1960 entrants, 40 years later at Habarana, Sri Lanka.

Can you pick out the personalities in this picture? They are all recognisable in spite of the lapse of 40 years. Sorry for the lousy photograph taken with a 1.2 Meg Pixel camera, in low light.

Dr.Fonseka seen over Wignaraja's head, at the Habarana reunion.

Fonseka - 'Fonny' is a very popular GP at Yatiyanthota for a long time. He related a few humorous incidents in his practice, as a warmup to the concert, held at our Habarana reunion.
This photo was taken in the hall, where the concert was held. You can see Wignaraja's head in the foreground of the picture.
