  6. Happy Birthday My dear Kong Kikanut Friend !

    I will never ever forget that Ward Class with Ernie Peris that day – you are the ONLY one to make Ernie blush and smile , and break his cool !!

    You are a wonderful person Willie Mama – and I will always remember you as one of those guys, who always had a smile on his face, never lost his cool, always ready with a good joke, when things got rough ( believe me, there were many a rough moments in our 5 yrs at Kynsey Rd ! ) .

    And now, you are such an asset to Lanka- with all your good work with the youth .
    Yes- I too would like to see some pics of your school .
    Keep up the good work you are doing .

    But I have to thank you very specially, for helping the Class of 64 with the Souvernier Book- that made a huge difference too keep the Class together .
    I hold this book, very near and dear to my heart ..

    Thanks and Have a Very Happy Birthday my dear friend- and see you in Beruwala Oct 2018 .

  9. Belated birthday wishes to you dear Willie. How many memories I have of you both in Medical School days and afterwards.Whenever Deepthi came to Sri Lanka she would visit Sri Jayewardenepura Hospital and then we would call you and play the mickey out of you. You came to SJGH and got hints when you were planning your own hospital, the Nawaloka hospital. Then it was you and I who organized our first get together for the Sri Lankan remnants in our batch in 1989 after the Reunion in the U.K. The greatest gift you gave us was the co-sponsoring of the costs of the RU 64 Souvenir with Seelan. You are a great buddy my friend, Willie, May all blessings be on you and your family.

      1. HI Esiri !
        Thank you for the news about keeping ” Sports Medicine” Alive and Well, in Srilanka, and above all, keeping it All in The Family of Class of 64 !

        Willie Mama- I do recall you telling me to take a photo of your two kids riding an elephant , when we were at the RU- 1994- Bentota Beach Hotel and you told me ” Deepthie , Mage Athek Barata Wastuwa is on top of the elephant, can you take a photo of my children ‘
        I did, and sent you a copy of it – I hope you still have it, as all my photos were destroyed by water damage .
        I assume it was this lad who is now a Sports Med MD in SL – trained by Siri K .

        Narme- yes I do recall how we would play Mickey Mouse with Wille – when ever I visited you ( and Dhamsa ) at Jayawardene Pura hosp.
        Those were good days !
        Thanks for the trip down memory lane as this is all we have left now .

        Wille Mama- I hope you had a good day– on your BIg Day ! and see you in Beruwala oct 2018 .
