Combrades in Construction

.
I received this email from former classmate, Alfred Wong (Form 5Sc, 1976) ...


Dear WJ, 

Do you still recognize this old form-mate of us? He is George Sim who left for further studies around Form 4 in 1975. I used to visit George in Brighton in the late 70's when he was staying with our fellow classmates, Dr Sim Pheng Siew and Eric Tan Kung Miang

Well, George and I were recently 'reunited' when he was appointed Project Manager of the Project Management Consultant Team overseeing the construction of the New UITM Campus Extension Project in Kuching , for which I was one of the Contractors undertaking the construction works.  

I met up with George for a courtesy visit at the Site Office today as I have not seen him for a while. George is a UK trained Civil Engineer and has vast working experience in the field of building and civil engineering works throughout Sarawak.

There is another team member on the same project who is also a former Josephian. Patrick Tan is from the Form Five Class of 1975 and is a registered Architect.

I am so excited to be part of the construction team with two former Josephians. 

I attach a photo taken with George with the site backdrop to jog back your memory of this former form-mate.

It's great to see old schoolmates reunited, and even working together.

Thanks Alfred for sharing this happy occasion.

George, I'll be candid. I won't have been able to recognise you if we had met elsewhere. It has been such a long time. But it's good to see you again.
