  • At a party for international students, Eberhard met Sao Kya Seng, an engineering student from Burma who attended the Colorado School of Mines. The couple married on 7 March 1953 at the home of a friend in Colorado.

    Following his graduation, the couple moved to Burma. Hundreds of people had gathered at the port of Rangoon to welcome the couple as they arrived on the SS Warwickshire. It was then that her husband revealed that he was the prince of Hsipaw, a princely state in Burma and close to the border with China, which he had previously concealed from her.

    As someone from Colorado, I can assure you that the most astonishing part of this story is that an engineering student at Mines went to a party and met a girl.
















  • This movie is one of my first core memories. I distinctly remember standing on the movie theater seats cheering with my brother when they played the “The Touch” and my mom smacking us and telling us to sit down.

    I also remember Optimus Prime cussing in that movie (“damn”?) and being shocked - but now I can’t find it when searching. So maybe I made that part up?
