Dear Lighters,

S.S. Lau and Kwai-Ling said farewell to us and left Hong Kong for SanDiego yesterday.

S.S. was literary staying with us since June 2002 when he came to HK onhis research and consultation mission at the City University of HK. During his stay here, he added lots of fun and joy to our table tennis games, hiking trips, Lighters' dinner parties and other functions. He gave advice and worked closely with the committee of the 2002 Reunion in HK before and after his arrival. Moreover, he took active involvement in, and gave great support to the Reunion events all the way through.

Recently, he has written a report on the misuse of the name Pui-Ching by unauthorized persons to C. C. Luk, Vice President of HK Pui Chi Alumni Association and requested Luk to urge the HK Pui Ching School Board of Governors to commence the claim for "intellectual property" of the name Pui-Ching.

In order to show our appreciation of S.S.'s contributions to the Lighters while he was in HK, we organized a farewell dinner for S. S. and Kwai-Ling at the Yau Yat Chuen Club last week. During the dinner, our President Pang Woon-Tong presented a Chinese poem written by "Arn Hsu" to S.S. to remind him that he would be missed by Hong Kong Lighters. Attached is the poem which I hope you will enjoy reading.

We wish S. S. and Kwai-Ling all the best and hope that they will visit HK again.
