Old Thomian's Association of California

Dear Lakshman,

OTAC has arranged for a  Dinner Dance on Saturday, 1st October, 2011. This year, the Thomian Night is in the Castaway, in Burbank, California. The Castaway is in a picturesque setting, surrounded by hills, reminding one of the magnificent range of hills on the Gurutalawa Welimada Road. Here too, people hike along mountain trails and just like us in the good old days trails abound like those leading to Bidinuwewa, Idalgashena, Diyatalawa, Horton Plains, Kirigalpota, Totupola Kande and Pattipola. Some of  my students in Guirutalawa from 1954 to 1964 - M.U. Liyanage (Bukka), Dr. Mahendra de Fonseka, Dr. Bharat Kumar (Ananda Kumarasamy), K.K.Meegahawatte, Anil Moonesinghe, Lal Yapa. M.R.Siriwardena and M. Divitotawala are attending. This is a wonderful opportunity for all of us to reminisce and enjoy each others company.

Probably I will tell you more after the event.
