With Leung Kon-Woh passing away on November 09, 2009, another link to the days of WYK at Nelson Street is broken. After graduating in the forties, Leung became a teacher at an Anglican school. Retired in Toronto, he reconnected with WYKAAO in the 2007 fall picnic. During his final years at a Long Term Care Centre, he was a polite and friendly gentleman to all the nursing staff and fellow residents. His absence was greatly missed.
Our sincerest condolences to his family.

4 Wahyanites from 4 cities, Ottawa-Vancouver-Hong Kong-Wahington D.C., recently had their fun in translating
菩萨蛮 （唐）李白 (701~762)
平林漠漠烟如织
寒山一带伤心碧
暝色入高楼
有人楼上愁
玉阶空伫立
宿鸟归飞急
何处是归程
长亭连短亭
