Hi Philip
Just to share the very sad news of one of our batch mates who passed away peacefully.
Vernon was a very sincere and a helpful colleague who continued to remain in the motherland to serve the sick. He was very caring and attended to the health needs of the local community with dignity and with humility.
We can offer our deepest sympathies to his surviving family members.
I am copying the obituary notice which appears in the Daily News of 13.05.2013.

Thanks
For relaying
Old friend
Neighbour
Before university
And medical college days from Templars rd Mt Lavinia
In march when i visited
He was not available
Known his parents. The Sr Dr Abey
And vernon did not show much of an interest in travelling
Though he had an open invitation
To visit us and see cinti and USa
Cannot ever recollect any disagreement between us
I saw him often as i went 2/3 times per yr to Ceylon then
Later Lanka
Pandi and I with a couple of others met him regularly
He was very quiet
Never controversial
Always a good friend.
No one was aware of any illness
Even after he moved the office acros Galle Rd to the sea side.
May he rest in peace
And attain the highest level of Enlightenment.
With love and fond memories
Bernard De Silva
Late Sheila de Silva
Templar rd Mt
Vista av Cincinnati USA

Jaipur foot limb-fitting, in Sri Lanka - email from Susiri Weerasekara.

In the picture you see lively Subhani 24 years old, below knee amputee,
running as if she had no disability at all.
Note the grace as she ran for Colombo FINS 2011 sports event.
The photo is of the souvenir.
We have now completed fitting 25,000 artificial limbs and appliances for
deformities and disabilities since 1985 with low cost Jaipur stimulated
technology.
Subhani obtained her first limb - prosthesis- a generation ago in 1993-
when 2 years old and has kept coming for replacements, sometimes as often
as twice a year in her teens.
She wins her events often and has competed in Malaysia and Japan taking
silver on each occasion.
We helped her train in computer work at Moratuwa and since then Dilmah-
the famous tea people, have promptly employed her to teach at their
Rainbow Kids School for disabled.
She is socially well adjusted and has a rosy future, the lack of limb
hardly a disability.
Ah yes, she is not short of admirers. I gather three young hopefuls hang
around, hoping. May the best man win!
Cheers to Subhani
And of course cheers to our individual donors.
Those who wish to donate-some of you have- the address and details are in
the cover photo itself.
