也斯喪禮，小思老師也來了，靈前致祭，肅穆哀傷，壇上悼念，情摯意真，我的眼睛有點兒潤濕了。昔日跟也斯同窗的一幕幕，清晰地盤旋眼前。半個世紀，往事豈是如煙。我們唸的是「端正」小學，正校在灣仔，分校北角，有兩處校舍，一在北角道，另一在春秧街。
WYKPSA organized a tour to Double Heaven Geo-area (香港地質公園——印洲塘景區) on January 20, 2013 and Mr. Keung Yiu Ming (75, Geography Panel Chairman) was the tour guide. Mr. Francis So, retired Geography Panel Chairman, enjoyed the tour. He writes, “… It makes me feel young as if I was one of the teaching staff leading boys on a field trip years ago before my retirement. Thank you for the invitation of WYKPSA.”

一個喜訊! 本月九日下午四時，到依利莎伯醫院探譚SIR。午睡剛起來，看來面色透紅，精神亦好。交談近況，又以其手機顯示在院中三餐，輕鬆地解釋餐前餐後的錄影. . . 食量也不少。同聲說吃得是福。師母謂譚SIR今番入院是清清肺中積水，應無大問題。交談間還主動要與我們合照。附上照片至希代發給同學們。

(雷鼎鳴 WYHK 1969) 「華仁一家基金會」前兩天在會展搞了次「譚校長與譚校長」的籌款演唱會，七千觀眾逼爆會場，氣氛熾熱。這次演唱會一方面是為香港與九龍華仁籌款，另一方面是向行將退休的港華校長譚兆炳致敬。上半場由多位城中名人及多才多藝的校友上台表演，下半場則由譚校長譚詠麟演唱近20首經典名曲。據悉譚校長以友情價助陣，演出極度賣力，三個半小時演唱會結束前，台上數百參與表演者與湧到台下的幾千觀眾一同載歌載舞，熱鬧非凡。
稍勝一籌回報豐厚得多 參加演唱的校友雖然水準極高，個個本領非凡，但與譚校長此等專業歌手相比，當然可聽得出差別。與譚校長排練過兩天的「華仁歌王」張漢傑校友指出，譚校長的成功絕非偶然，他排練時絕對一絲不苟。譚校長自己也提到，「台上一分鐘，台下十年功」。
