Inaugural address to Medical Students Colombo on June 1960 by Dr.Lucian de Zylva

A small part of Dr.Lucian de Zylva's oration

The arrival - Habarana, 2nd July 2010.

The arrival of the two buses from Colombo and the rush for registration in the foyer of 'The Cinnamon Lodge' are seen in these two photographs.

Picture taken at Wineetha Fernando's home in the 1960s.

I am sure that you would be able to identify the young medical students of the early 1960s. White shirts with long sleeves, ties in place, dark trousers and polished dark shoes seem to be the trade mark of the medicos then.

This reunion was held at 'The Village' Dambulla, Sri Lanka. 92 participants were present. We had a two day stay in the hotel and a rollicking time. There was a seminar, concert and dinner bust-up. Jeri Jayasekara did a presentation on the use of a bar code, to identify persons. There was a poster parade. The party was superb due to the efforts of the organising committe headed by Kapuwaththe.
