Henry Lam was PL of Antelope (my) patrol, JB. \u00a0He and James Chui Wing-Cheung led us (me, GooWarkLo, Luk LeyTong, Ah Ding et al ) to the Senior’s competition for the Prince of Wales Trophy….., and we ended up getting totally LOST in Tai Mo Shan in the dark……<\/p>\n
Once again, Goo Wark Lo saved the night! \u00a0James used the army phone to get help. \u00a0The army instead sent for a small jeep from the Tai Po Police Station. \u00a0The officer\/driver of the jeep was quite mad that we bunch of ~16\/17 year olds would cause them so much trouble (for the rescue), coming up the steep zigzag road in pitch darkness……<\/p>\n
Both policemen were swearing……..; until GooWark Lo recognized the driver as one of his dad’s junior colleagues years back…… \u00a0Then they stopped swearing and treated us like brave little scouts!<\/p>\n
We lost the trophy to the top team. \u00a0We got second place instead.
\n(There were only two patrols in that year’s competition!).<\/p>\n
I often wonder why incidents like this that happened more than 50 years ago would be so vivid, and yet I didn\u2019t even consider the event in any way “traumatic”. \u00a0It was just plain FUN !!!!<\/p>\n
Staying up at a Taipei hotel waiting to fly over to Tokyo tomorrow morning for a week long tour,
