Dear Lbawng Baphuon:
[1]-I have discussed with Bawng Hocdy and Bawng UMK who was @ last minutes
with Lok KVS @ the hospital before he died...I did not want to dig his
personal life..I had recorded my interviews in Video and audio tapes when
I stayed with Lok KVS for 1 week..He had talked about his life when he was
@ primary school at Pursat with his teacher; Lok Kru "Leng" (Father of Neak
Kru Maly). I met Neak Kru Maly twice @ USA...
[2]-My long time friend at Nagoya Japan got the same opinion like you on
'eclipse'..Here is his message. He has PhD in EE. He got a scholarship and
went to Japan on April 4,1974.

Bro. P.
I checked the day of full solar eclipse in the world and found some
interesting data.
1925 January 24th, observed in USA and the area of North Atlantic, 2mn
32s ( full eclipse ) ; absolutely cannot be observed in Cambodia
1925 July 20th, observed in South Pacific area, 7mn 15s ( Gold ring
eclipse ) ; can be partly observed in Cambodia but the sky was not so dark
1926 January 14th, observed in Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, 4mn
11s ( full eclipse ) ; maybe can also be observed in Cambodia
If you refer to the history as the fact, what day should you use as
his real birthday ?
Most of people in Cambodia made mistake in registering the birthday of
their kids. So, the last data is the most available day because it is very
resemble to the formal data. This may be a great discovery of his secret or
largely said, a great discovery of the royal family of Cambodia.
See you later,
