R.I.P.
Our condolences go the family of another Wahyanite who had served Hong Kong well.
Lam Po Hon (class of 36) graduated at WYK in the same year as the late Mr. Choy Shing Pang and Mr. Lee Hoi Chow. He joined the Public Works Department after obtaining his degree at HKU in 1941. He earned his Master degree in Civil Engineering at Imperial College, University of London in 1951, on government grants. After receiving his Diploma of Imperial College, he was promoted the Chief Engineer of Kowloon-Canton Railway in 1952. He became the General Manager of KCR in 1958 and was the first Chinese and the youngest Department Head in the Colony. KCR was known as a well managed and, at the same time, the only profitable railway in the Commonwealth. He held the GM position until his retirement in 1975. He settled in Toronto in 1983.
His two sons, Man-yiu Henry (64) and Man-lai Patrick (67), both attended WYK and so did his son-in-law, Ho Sun-lam Terence (63).
He passed away on July 05 at age 91.

In FLANDERS FIELDS by Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae (1872-1918) 江紹倫譯
In Flanders fields the poppies blow 在富蘭達斯墓地櫻粟花淀放
Between the crosses, row on row, 穿插於排列整齊的十字架群間
That mark our place; and in the sky 我們從定位上望高空
The larks, still bravely singing, fly 銀燕仍然勇飛高歌
Scarce heard amid the guns below. 歌聲受地下炮聲淹啞
"Dear all,
It is with great sadness to report that our brave and tenacious cancer warrior and former schoolmate, Steven Cheung 張志鴻 of F.5C passed away last evening, November 30, at 9:48 pm at Tuen Mun Hospital peacefully with his whole family by his side. The last of us to see him was James Li 李立本 who was there late yesterday afternoon - thank you James.
Steven shall always be remembered for his courage, optimism and tenacity exhibited during the last part of his prolonged battle which took place in Hong Kong over the last 30 odd months. I feel honored to be able to call him my schoolmate and my friend!
May he rest in eternal peace in God's embrace.
With deepest condolences to his family,
Sincerely,
Alex"
