Dr. Chan writes about the reunion:
"A dinner was organised by former students of St Joseph's School, Kuching for Br Columba Gleeson in the evening of 6 Jan 2009 at the Sarawak Club, Kuching. These group of students were from Form 5 of 1971 and Upper 6 of 1973. When Christopher Kho Ting Hua (who lives in Sydney) first received news in mid-December that Br Columba was visiting Kuching, he starting phoning and emailing classmates about the possibility of having a dinner with him. When the possibility was firming up to reality, he called Br Columba to fix the date mentioning a few names. So when Br Columba was picked up for the dinner on 6 Jan, he thought he was going to dinner with 2 or 3 former students. The number turned out to be 20. He said he was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed the evening very much.
Ting Hua had specially arranged to fly back all the way from Sydney to attend the dinner - a decision made about 2 weeks before the dinner. Another former student, Peter Chin who lives in KL also flew in for the function."

I saw Loh Swee Lim in some of the photos. Master Loh taught us (those in Form 1E - 1974) mathematics. I have pleasant memories of Master as a Maths teacher during that 1 term.
