《On this day, 50 years ago…》__Leo Chu

This piece of green & gold taught me to stay focused, to look beyond the bends what possibilities may exist, reminded me time and again the resilience I can muster, and fortified me for the many ups and downs over the 50 year journey.
I remembered and kept the first promise I ever made on my honour, and stayed the course. Now in the autumn of my years, I came to realize what a profound influence it did cast, and what it is amongst a brotherhood I am privileged to be counted.
And by now I think I have earned the right to write my own epitaph :
“Dared to be different, independent, self-reliant, alone”
My dear friends, go forth, I hope you have as rewarding a journey in the years ahead.

“Thanks for sharing the sad news. My condolences to the family.” ~ Johannes 李允能 (Chairman of Student Council, 1972) Cary, NC.

“May he RIP.” ~ Stephen Ng Tin Hoi

“He will be missed by all!” ~ Andrew Kam Cheung Lung

“Indeed bad news!”
Haven’t seen Wat since the early 70’s but the time we spent together in scouting was as vivid as yesterday’s happenings. When I was PL of Antelope, Wat was my Patrol Second and was thoroughly helpful. His big build rendered him always took up a lot more stuff… carrying the heavy canvas tent, bamboos, etc than other scouts in walking the 8-miles journeys… and many other fond memories.
Indeed miss him, and wish him peace and happiness in the kingdom of God.” ~
