Email from Lee Kwok Wing after more than half a Century

Hi everybody, I had never dream of contacting my primary school classmates until coming across Stephen's blog some 2 weeks ago. It darns on me that it really has been almost half a century ago that we shared some of our best moments on that beautiful hilly schoolyard.

As I read on, the names and faces became more vivid and somehow my fading momory has start coming back to life. I remember bits and pieces as I look at those old school pictures and my heart start pounding like a drum in a marching band.

I applaud all you people in particular Stephen to set up this blog so that we can recall the old days and share the new ones in the future.

I left TPS for St.Joseph College in 1962/3 and later moved to LA in 1973 to further my studies. I stay in LA until these days and now been retired almost 8 years and a grandfather of 4 children.

I do visit HK twice a year as most of our family and old friends are still there. Hopefully we can meet up in September during my next visit. Yes Stephen, please add my email address to your group and I can not wait to hear from all you people again.

Hi Stephen,

Yes, I remember you also, so as Poon, Tse and Hui. I do remember these two teachers Ma and Yeung as Yeung was my P3 class master. Mr. Ma was quite young at the time and I did not have the chance to go to picnics like you guys did since I did not attend P6 in 1963/4.

I did play soccer in the school and no, I wasn't that good. I did play for St. Joseph College later on and was in the school team and won a few medals in both soccer and track and field events in inter-school competitions. I do maintain contacts with the St. Joseph classmates all over the world and will attend our 40th graduation anniversary reunion in HK next year.

I will try to attach some photos next time as I screw up my album in this new netbook. Anyway, please forward my regards to all our classmates and keep in contact.

Alexander

Dear Alex ,

Thanks very much for your ptompt response. I have added your phone no. to the list but I will wait for a while for other inputs before I send out the updated list.

We are really glad to have you back to our community. I have tried very hard to figure out how you look like but failed. But for sure, we must have played lots of football games together in the TPS muddy football field; those were our happiest days together. However, we would recognize you when we meet you in HK ( very soon ?). By the way, it would be great if you could send us an old photo during the time in TPS or any other.

We look forward not only to a happy gatherig in near future and also a big re-union of TPS " Ball 牛 " .

Wish you a great week
Tomson
