Mr Laurence Tam writes, "On 2nd May, Sunday, I was invited by the Hong Kong Culture and Leisure Services Department (LCSD) to be the judge of a sand sculpture competition at Shek-O Beach. Shek-O was chosen, because the sand over there is extraordinary fine. There had been 12 rounds of competitions before this. This was the final round in which five of the winning teams who scored the highest points in the earlier competitions were competing. The winning team in this competition will be representing Hong Kong to take part in the international sand sculpture event to be held in coming August at Kagoshima in Japan.

In 1981, a professor of the University of Toronto speaks to an audience in Shanghai on the recent development of Psychology in the West.

Desmond Wong, R.I.P.
We received the following sad news from Ho Nim Cho, “I was struck with extreme grief when my brother-in-law in Honolulu told me that Desmond Wong, one of our beloved classmates of 1957 Wah Yan College Kowloon, who gave us an impressive talk and demonstration last year (2009.07.18) in Toronto during the 1957 past students reunion, passed away suddenly at his home in Hawaii on the 4th of this month. No further information on this sad news was available, except that the funeral rites would not be arranged till June.”
Our sincerest condolences go to his family.
Chok and Chung Yu brothers write about Desmond.......
