Were you in this photo? (20th Anniversary)

Dear all

剛剛整理電腦裡的照片時發現一張你們畢業20週年在 "台大校園傅鐘"的合照~用掃描的(當年數位相機尚未出現), 另一張團體照在台大正門口(包跨眷屬的)請待我找時間整理照片時再掃描給各位, 我記得當年我有加洗寄給當天有參加的同學, 如果沒收到或是找不到照片的這一張就請先回味一下囉!

Best Regards,

20121209 Taipei Reunion

歲末年終, 老同學在台大第二活動中心樓下"書芳園"聚會, 遠道而來的有沈夏萍, 李麗珠, 還有剛回台北定居的曾海倫三位同學, Helen的先先生Larry大方亮相, 女兒最後也出現了, 幸福的一家. 陳景星老大見了張振亞第一件事就是奉還當年借的"日文筆記", 很有意義吧! 我們分享了清淡台味美食, 每一位同學就畢業至今37年多的成長歷程作了簡單清楚的交待, 很特別的一次聚會. 不少同學彼此三十多年沒見過面, 太難得了, 大部分同學都已退休, 只有胡斐玲, 許美珠, 廖慧珠, 張文瀛等還在線上. 會後振亞的先生也出現了, 沒想到是我的大溪小老鄉, 也是同宗, 一聊起來住在街上哪一戶人家 都了解, 很巧吧!. 陳老大最近身體硬朗不少, 心情也好多了. 沈夏萍剛退休不久, 立即回台好好陪媽媽治療白內障. 李麗珠十月初就回台, 平常需要陪爸爸, 只有星期天有空. Helen 和先生以前在台北因工作認識, 多年後有緣在美重逢, 成就一樁好姻緣, 這次回台定居, Larry 完全尊重Helen的意思, 因為"只要她快樂, 他就會喜歡", even 花連他都可以接受.

NTUECO Renion @ San Jose (12/8/2012)

While some of our classmates have their gathering on 12/9/2012 in Taipei NTU's campus...we have a few of us also meet in San Jose on 12/8/2012 (Saturday)...  from left to right:
David and Daisy Yau, Josephine and Thomas Shu, Youyi Wang, Marie Wang, Rachel and Frank Tseng.

Believe me or not...Youyi can really tell good stories...and she surely be able to entertain everyone well.  Frank and Rachel are enjoying so much as being grandparents.  Marie Wang is among our long lost list...we are glad that she can walk out of the down time and happily reunion with our classmates.  I believe Marie will get in touch with Maggie Ma when she is back to Taiwan.  Daisy is about to fully retire from her current work, she must have a lot of adjustments for making her new lifestyle...

Well, I hope we will have another reunion soon, no matter where it is.

Josephine and I are here to have a very busy weekend in San Jose area for our FAPA and WTC conferences and also to meet up with many Hakka friends in the Bay area.  Then we will spend two days for wineries visiting. We are looking for good business models that we can help Taiwan Oolong tea farms and tea tasting posts to be better established in major tea districts.  We like to duplicate the Wine Tour and have a more in-depth Tea Tasting Tour in Taiwan soon.
