Hello all, Dane here. I had an opportunity last night to visit with David Shum, an old family friend who lives in Hong Kong. David stayed with my family in Denver back in 1980 as part of an exchange program. Jeannene and I spent some time touring the island and visiting with his family last time we were here. We were going to try and and get together tomorrow after our tour, but David has to work and we would not have time to get out to the outlying island where he is working. When we were here last, David was the executive director of a large youth outreach program, but he has since "retired" and now is on the board of that program, but not managing his day-to-day affairs. His new project is an "adventure based" counselling and training program for both youth and business interests that sounds much like "outward bound" and focuses on team-building and character training through outdoor activities.
Because we could not get together tomorrow, David, his wife Rosetta, and daughters Claire and Roberta, came to our hotel. Jeannene and Clio were already sleeping by the time they got here (as our biological clocks have not quite adjusted yet) so I went downstairs with them for a cup of coffee. It was great to catch up, but a shame that we wil not get to spend more time with them this trip.
