William Hill (62) – a DBS Legend

Tokyo Olympics 1964 – Hong Kong

1964年東京奧運，奧運聖火於9月4日首次在香港傳遞。當年傳遞路線簡單：聖火抵達啟德機場後，由九龍城傳至尖沙嘴，再渡海至中環。但當年跟奧運聖火同時探訪香港的還有颱風「露比」。根據天文台資料，聖火抵達當晚，即9月5日凌晨02:35天文台懸掛三號「風球」，上午10:30轉為九號，上午11:40更改為十號。而聖火則整晚於大會堂對開燃燒。

Samuel Hsu ( that giant from F5C who also swims), Ted ( man's best friend who has a big mouth) and Patrick Choy ( you know the Choy Longevity who also runs)went to visit with Mr. Lowcock in Sai Kung in the afternoon and picked me up on the way in for the gathering in the school. They have a good photo taken of Mr. Lowcock and I wonder if they can share it on the email with us.

Mr. and Mrs. Jacobsen ( by the way Mr. Jacobsen looked very well indeed and his ability to recognise most of us was stunning)and and all the other guys started showing up in front of the round about in front of the school. A photo was taken and Ted  promises he’ll post it up electronically for all of  us. There was a tour around the school. Then dinner. 
Mr. Fung Yee Wang told us of the sad news that Mr. Wong Siu Kit ( Eng Lit teacher 61-64 DBS) passed away. He also asked us to contribute to his on going compilation of a history and journal of DBS and it’s boys, teachers etc.
Then the usual " don’t tell me you are XXXX. I wouldn’t have recognised you on the street" and all the nickname calling started to come out. There was plenty of comaraderie and esprit de corps. Luckily there were plenty of French red flowing that made the tuck shop buffet food barely eatable. Ted entertained us with one of his almost hysterical unstoppable laughter after drinking enough of those French red.

David T Fung, West Vancouver

It was truly wonderful to see in person so many familiar faces after 45 years.  Although every one of us has ¡§matured¡¨ way beyond the youthful looks in the old class pictures, the mannerism and likely the associated personality for many of those present at DBS on Nov 9 did not appear to have changed significantly.  There is an interesting life long story behind each of these faces.  There was not enough time over the short reunion to begin exploring those stories.  If you pass through Vancouver in your travels and have time to share a meal, please advise me by e-mail and we shall see if a mutually convenient time and venue can be arranged.

For those who have not been back to DBS for a while, you should know that drastic physical changes have occurred to the grounds and the surrounding communities.  A huge building for the primary school classes has taken over the southern end of the field and the previous headmaster¡¦s residence.  Hotels and office buildings are overlooking the field from the west side.  Another huge building for the boarders has risen over the grounds on the north end (the steps to Prince Edward Road).  During our short reunion, we did not even manage to get to the steps.  All of these additions and renovations would not have been possible without the generosity of a number of old boys.  I was told that one donated HK$120 million to make some of these improvements possible.
For those in North America interested to contribute to the growth and renewal of DBS, they should be aware of an organization called ¡§Give2Asia¡¨ (www.give2asia.org) which can help your group organize the donations to overseas charities, e.g. DBS, through a North American based charity so that the donation can be tax deductible in USA or Canada as the case may be.  This is particularly beneficial to those in Canada where the qualified charitable donations are given tax credits based on the top marginal tax bracket.
As we advance in our age, memory will become a more precious commodity.  I look forward to catching more of these memories with many of you whenever the occasion arises.
