Fr. Hurley’s Social Services Group of the HK Federation of Post-Secondary Catholic Students – Vincent Lee ’65
I was looking through the links I found about Fr. Hurley……, in between doing other things…… and got to the bottom one.
Lo an behold, when I went to minute 1.52 (of 6.49) I found a photos of the Social Services Group of the HK Federation of Post-Secondary Catholic Students — Linda and I are both here. I still have a copy of the somewhat faded original; taken at WYK outside the corridor after or meeting (inaugural meeting?), 1966 (54 years ago). Below that picture, and may be the top one in the next frame, is a shot of us visiting the orphanage (in Fangling I think) in which Tony Ng also participated. This is priceless to me. What a treasure and surprise! Other than Linda, I am still in loose contact with two other Group members. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiq_VNwp3gw
40 Years of Hope
40 years ago this week, on April 12, Terry Fox dipped his foot into the Atlantic Ocean in Newfoundland and transformed the course of cancer research in Canada. The suffering he saw in the cancer wards after his diagnosis compelled him to act. Terry was an innovator, fundraiser, athlete, humanitarian. His Marathon of Hope is turning 40 years old and his message is as timely as ever.
It feels like the world is in a holding pattern, waiting for this global crisis to end but we know that cancer patients can’t wait for this crisis to be over. Nor can the researchers who have made it their life’s work to save lives.
So this week, in honour of Terry, and his dream of a world without cancer, we are asking you to give if you can.
Stay safe, stay hopeful.

《加國囊括世青冰壺賽男女冠軍》~ 陳瑞文 ’71
【 於上月在俄羅斯舉行的世界青年冰壺錦標賽，加拿大大發神威，囊括男女子兩項冠軍，令人振奮!
男隊在循環階段已脫穎而出，決賽時以7比2輕鬆擊敗上屆亞軍瑞士，連續三屆奪標。
女隊奪冠之路則荊棘滿途，於循環階段曾大敗於南韓，準決賽時硬碰上屆冠軍主辦國俄羅斯，開局時已處於下風，有賴頑強鬥志，於賽事尾段打成平手，最終在附加的決勝局中，以一分之微，擊敗俄羅斯晉级。
決賽對手是長勝之師南韓，她們戰績彪炳，於循環階段曾以7比1及8比1大勝加拿大與俄羅斯，在準決賽則以8比4輕鬆淘汰日本。
決賽初段，加國落後捱打，最終再次發揮後勁，以7比5擊敗強敵奪標!
加國男女隊皆來自緬省，而女隊教練 Sheldon Zacharias 更是隊長 Mackenzie Zacharias 和隊員 Emily Zacharias 的父親，上陣不離父女兵，傳為佳話! 】
