From Francis Choi (65), "You may know that Edmund had the job to create UIC - a joint Venture between Baptist U and 北京师范大学 in Zhuhai, China - from nothing some 5/6 years ago. I had the privilege of working there for a short while and can attest to the dedication and hardwork that Edmund put in. Today, UIC has a brand new campus with 4,000 students, attaining the original target of full registration at UIC.
I am sure you will join me in congratulating Edmund for such a wonderful and ground breaking achievement."

Sunny and rainy days, Toronto is the eating place to meet with long lost friends. Francis Choi from Beijing and Francis Ho from Victoria, BC saw Stephen Chan from Austin, Texas, for the first time after more than forty years. They were all in Form 1C in Mr. Aras' class in 1961. Joining the happy occasion were the local 65ers, Andrew Tang, Raymond Lee and Jimmy Chan. Spouses enjoyed their lady-talks too. Mr. Ho was invited to share their happy mini-reunion.
Sung Yun-wing, the scholarly economy professor from Chinese University, was treated at a very good eating house. (Contact Andrew Tang for info.) It was such a happy time that Prof. Sung promised to speak to our members on his next visit.
