Edmund Lee and the Class of 67

.
Edmund Lee (Form 5, 1975) sent me an email with this attached photo which had been forwarded to him  by Kenneth Chew. Here's an excerpt of what Edmund said ...


" ...Bumped into a group of our Seniors at Kwang Hup Cafe, Jln. Keretapi last week. (Class of '67) Informed them about our blog. Since our blog caters to "Josephians of the Seventies" - this photo qualifies to be published as I am inside it too...hehehehe

FYI - Kenneth Chew is the elder brother of Vernon ('75) and Bertram ('76 ), Steven ( '73 ), Alan ( ? ), Cecil ( ? ) Daniel ( ? ), Shenton ( ? ) - all Josephians and their Sisters Irene, Eleanor, Bernice, Eunice - all Teresians, of course.

Jee Tzin Kit is the brother of our teacher, Mr. Nicholas Jee. 

Fabian was previously attached to SESCO as the Finance Manager. Not sure whether the frequent black-outs were coincidental with his retirement. ( just kidding ! )

The rest are familar faces in town - likely to bump into them at Church, Parish Sales, Sarawak Club, etc  - except near St. Thomas' School or McDougall Road."

Thanks to Edmond, Kenneth and everyone else for sharing this happy moment.

I will edit this post - including updating the years of the classes the boys were from in St Joe - once I receive more info. That's the beauty of a blog ... always dynamic, always editable at any time ... So just send any updates to me (jslyong@hotmail.com) or to Edmund (sipadan2005@gmail.com)

Have a nice day !

  1. Does Kenneth Chew used to live near Pisang Road West, Kuching, brother of Eunice Chew who attended Univeristy of Malaysia at KL and became a teacher at 10th Mile? Can anyone confirm that by posting a comment here. If he is the one, then we have seen a photo of someone we lost contact for over 40 years!

    His face hasn't chenged its general shape all these years!

  3. Kenneth Chew was once the headmaster of St. Teresa Primary School way back in early 1990's leh. After that I think he migrated to NZ.

  5. Hehehehe.....smile comes to my face when I am reading this and looking at the photo, Edmund.

    No disrespect here to anyone but your post just remind me that I am still young in comparison with our "older" fellow Josephians.

    "Go forth and multiply, seek and you shall be rewarded" - I wonder which famous person quoted this or did anyone famous said it?

    What I meant is: please go and spread the word about this blogs and it's nice to see all x-josephians.

    Best wishes to all

  8. To Kenneth Chew,

    Greetings from across the Mountains and Seas.

    We last met over 35 years ago, around 1975. It is most impressive to see, in the photo, you are so healthy and well after so many years, and that Eunice is doing very well too in the Church's school.

    Wishing everyone the best in the coming years, Merry X'mas, Happy New Year, and Kong-Hee-Fai-Chow for the coming Lunar New year.
