      A group of DBS old boys and their spouses invited Mr. Washington Chang to a
      very happy luncheon gathering at Golden Court in Toronto.  Including Mr. Chang,
      there were altogther eight of us:

           Chan  Shun-Kuen, Jim

      During lunch, we talked about how many more DBS old boys  and teachers (around our time)
      should be in and around Toronto.  For example, Jim mentioned that Dr. Lit Wai-Yue is in Waterloo.

      We all agreed that there should be another reunion gathering, probably some time
      this year.  Stay tuned...

      Two of our old boys, Leo Chu and Vincent Tai, have indicated that they may  be

        It was a very enjoyable evening.  Thanks to Ian, we have some photos posted both to the Club Photo
        website and the DBS1961 website.
        We also discussed the change of plan for our next reunion.  Seems OK for most of us, at least the
        old boys.  Chik-Shing says he would extend his stay in Toronto for the happy occasion.

        Dinner gathering at Dragon Boat Restaurant in Markham.
        This time we had 5 guests, 4 of them from outside of Toronto:
           Mr. Chang, Washington (Toronto)

            Bush, Ian & Charity
            Li Shu-Poon
            Wong Hin-Shing
            Wong Kam-Keung
        It was another very enjoyable evening.  We're especially appreciative of our guests, who either came
        from far away or took great pains and determination to be with us that evening.
        Some of us brought cameras and took some pictures.  As soon as I receive them, I'll post them to the
        Club Photo and the DBS1961 websites.
        We also touched on future plans for get-togethers.  Maybe another few months away...

        From Leo Chu on the reunion:
        "never met and some that i have not seen for 41 years. poon chik-sin came from
        hk and had to stay for the dinner, and mr lit had to drive 2 hours to come to
        dinner and mr cheung was on wheelchairs but enjoy the long dinner. we took
        him back and he said he was very very please to come. here again i want to
        thank hin shing for arranging this and they wont even let us pay for our
        share and insist be their guest.

        so next time around i would like to go back and reciprocate the same
        hospitality. met ian and his wife who happens tobe shanghainess as me. all in
        all this is a very very memorable occasion and i want to thank everyone even
        including vincent who had been my driver for 2 days.
        hope to see you guys again."

        From Mr. Lit Wai Yu, former DBS teacher and also old boy:
        "Hi Hin-Shing,

        Thank you once again for inviting me to the DBS reunion dinner party a
        week ago today. I was particularly pleased to see Washington whom I have
        not met for a good number of years.  I always enjoy meeting my former
        students and friends.  I must consider myself very much blessed with
        excellent students, many of whom have become more than simply former
        students to me.  One such students was married in Canada and I had the
        great honour in playing the role of his father at his wedding ceremony.

        I was very impressed by your success in having us come from different
        places together.  The occasion was a precious one that was not easy to
        have.  If we add up all the two-way distances from our homes to the
        restaurant, the total distance will probably be enough to go round the
        earth one and a half times.  That is quite impressive!

        Hearing that you all have been and are doing very well made me looked back
        to my DBS days and renewed my pride for our School.  It was a very
        pleasant and warm feeling.  Although our sentiments might have been
        different, I am sure that all of us were very happy, and had enjoyed very
        much that evening.  Of course, much of the credit must go to you, Hin
        Shing.  Please accept my very deep appreciation.

        I hope the gathering last Sunday will be the beginning of more to come,
        and look forward to meeting with all and any of the group.
