The year 1997 marked the return of Hong Kong to China. It also marked the year in which Fr. Harold Naylor retired from teaching. Of course many fathers before him had retired but continued to work in different capacities. Fr. Moran, for example, continued to teach English and insisted on doing so until he was so forgetful he was advised not to carry on. Fr. Naylor could be seen in the school open ground during recess and lunch time talking to students long after his retirement and he happily joined the functions of the school for many years. He started teaching in Wah Yan College Kowloon in 1967 and taught for 30 full years. He was much loved for his friendliness and individuality, as well as for his love of Chinese culture and language, something outstanding among the Irish fathers. He could read Chinese. He passed away on October 4, 2018.
