My Dear Rotarians and friends, in particular my Action Presidents, I am sorry if you could not access Frank Devlyn’s Website based on what I gave you in my last letter and I thank the readers for letting me know early. In a rush, I had typed a dot between frank and devlyn. The correct…
My Dear Rotarians and friends, in particular my Action Presidents, Well, it is now official. RI President-elect Frank J. Devlyn has announced today (4 February 2000) at the International Assembly his theme for 2000-2001, which is, as I intimated in my last letter, CREATE AWARENESS – TAKE ACTION. Frank Devlyn disclosed his theme towards the…
My Dear Rotarians and friends, in particular my Action Presidents, Tonight I will embark on a journey, which I have been looking forward to for some time. In fact, by the time you read this, if you read this, I should be half way round the globe flying to Los Angeles, if not already there….
My Dear Rotarians and friends, in particular my Action Presidents, I can never thank you enough for the concern and condolences, and love and support you have given me through words, messages and flowers following the death of my mother earlier this month. My life has not been as organized as I hope these days,…

Within a fortnight, all sorts of things happened in Hong Kong, China and the world, ranging from plane crashes to border conflicts, unnecessary human sufferings, and more earthquakes. Thus, we had the Egyptair crash of Flight 990; the crash of…
My Dear Rotarians and friends, in particular my Action Presidents, Last time, I invited you to tell me what you did the day Typhoon York hit Hong Kong. I had no direct or immediate response, until the next typhoons. We had Cam and Dan, or something similar; and each time I was asked whether I…
My Dear Rotarians and friends, in particular my Action Presidents, For those in Hong Kong, I hope you are spending this unexpected morning and probably the whole day profitably. At least, you deserve a good rest. If you tell me what you did, there would be sufficient material for my next two or three letters….
My Dear Rotarians and friends, in particular my Action Presidents, A few things happened after I sent out the first issue of my letters around 26 July 1999. First, they did not reach many of the readers who used to receive Kingspark News by email. They were lost, or non-delivered. I had thought I fixed…
