TRIBUTE TO MY LONG STANDING FRIEND & COLLEAGUE PETER MOHAN RANIL MENDIS (PMR) Source : linkedin.com Mohan and I have been very good friends from as far back as January 1951.

Our friendship started at Prince of Wales College, Moratuwa in 1951, and went on at S. Thomas College, Mount Lavinia, and later in Professional Accountancy.
