Professor Ronald C. Pine

I have a Ph.D. and a Masters Degree in Philosophy from the University of Hawaii.  To get a better idea of who I am, here are some of my favorite pictures:

Age 5 with my Grandfather and his tractor.  I felt very special learning about farming and being able to ride on the tractor.
 

With my Mom and grandfather.  He was a farmer.  She was a dancer and college professor.

Ronnie Pine at age 3.  My mother said I looked like Shirley Temple and no one wanted to cut my hair.

Left to right, Ronnie, Earle and Brian Pine.  A cherished picture by my mother.

A cherished family vacation spot.  The Family Cabin in the Seven Oaks area, in the San Bernardino mountains.

In Burma, the hill-tribe village of Pain-ne-bin on the Shan Plateau.  As a former high ranking tour guide in Burma, my wife raised money from tourists to build a school at this village.  Otherwise the children have to walk 7 miles one way to the nearest school.  This is her second school project.

My wife, Myitzu Pine.  Myitzu has a B.S. degree in Physics from Yangon University, Burma.  She also has a degree in early childhood education.  She hopes to continue to build schools in Burma (see link) and eventually run her own preschool.  Currently she is working at Pali Pre-school and pursuing a degree in mathematics.

Hypatia Akary Pine, 2 months old.  Hypatia was named after the famous mathematician, philosopher, and librarian of the Library of Alexandria.  Akary is Burmese for "women leader" or "queen."

Yun Shwe-Kya Sophia Alexandria Pine.  Her Burmese name means Golden Lotus Laquerware Lady.  Yun likes to play Swan Lake for Dad
