Our 1960 Medical entrance batch, at the 25th anniversary reunion, in Kandy
How many of them can you pick out and identify? It is tantalizing because the image is not too blurred and not too sharp. I took these pictures at Hotel Topaz, Kandy. Please email me any similar photos you have to put on our batch blog.

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.
