“...President: Rev. P. A. BRUCE Vice-Presidents: Miss E. M. BROOMHALL Mr. W. D. MUDDITT Prof. CARRINGTON GOODRICH Bishop F. HOUGHTON Mr. H. F. JOYCE IN MEMORIAM JOHN BOLLING REYNOLDS (1894-1970) Bolling was born in Seoul on 20th August, 1894, to missionaries of the Southern Presbyterian Church, William David and Patsy Bolling Reynolds. I first met him during the summer of 1906 when both his father and mine were staying at the Stookes’ home in Chefoo and working on translations of the Bible, his into Korean, mine into Mandarin Chinese. We hit it off from the start, being practically of an age and having many similar interests, such as swimming and tennis, which we could indulge right in the Stookes’ front yard. I like to recall one conversation of that summer. We got to talking about our ancestors. I boasted that I was possibly descended from an Amer-Indian squaw whom my distant ancestor, David Goodrich, had married when he was a British scout in the French and Indian war. But Bolling put me...”

“...and converse naturally with Korean acquaintances, fellow teachers, and one-time students. He always regretted, he told me more than once, that he could not re-visit Chefoo, and also see Peking. He will be missed by many, here and abroad, including the undersigned. CARRINGTON GOODRICH. IN MEMORIAM The C.S.A. also extends sympathy to the family and the friends of the following Chefusians who have passed away in the last year or two: — MORRIS P. BURKWALL of Beaumont, Texas, in Chefoo c. 1913-1922. MRS. NORAH HARRIS (nee DONNELLY) of Sidney, B.C., in Chefoo c. 1900. MRS.

If anyone would like addresses for the families of these, just contact the Secretary, Chefoo Schools Association, 1058 Avenue Road, Toronto 12, Canada. 3...”

“...Byng Avenue, Willowdale, Ontario, Canada. Chairman of Toronto Branch: MR. D. V. GONDER, 4 Zacharias Court, Willowdale, Ontario, Canada. TORONTO REUNION, 1970 The Toronto Summer Foundation Day picnic was as usual well attended. It included two Americans from over the border, ELSA LOGAN from Rochester and JAMIE TAYLOR from Chicago area, and Australian JACK BURGESS as well as the current local “Chefoo” children from the Toronto hostel, one of the successors of the original Chefoo B.S. and G.S. With guests, there were forty-one of us on the comfortable chartered bus, which prominently displayed “Chefoo” as its destination. In reality this was Collingwood, a ski and picnic resort near Lake Huron on the Niagara escarpment, that miles long, low height of land or something, that in flat southern Ontario passes the mountains. The caterer at the lodge, a little muddled, had apparently got a fixation on the word “school” and so had laid in gallons of milk, and was a little surprised at some of the...”

“...silent.” Reply No. 1. The secretary, as a holiday task (seems to me we had them in Chefoo), set herself to clear X feet of bookcase space. Doomed at last were two Chefoo diaries, which with some reluctance were reverently consigned to the garbage can. Then came total recall or something. She bethought herself of JOE DUNLAP'S mission, and so at dead of night, when no neighbours were looking, she stole out and from the said garbage cans rescued her Chefoo diaries. Just possibly some items therein might refresh memories for the Chefoo Archives. News from the three Chefoo successor schools about the money sent to each from North American funds. From Malaysia: “We are most thankful for your kind gift of Canadian $50 which works out here to the tidy little sum of MSI39. We are glad too that it is especially sent for sporting equipment, as this is a constantly recurring need. Balls are lost, bats are broken and the usual wear and tear necessitates replacements. Just the other day we lost a good volley...”

“...winter not the easiest to make (Modern holiday travel differs considerably from the old S.S. Fengtien et al on their Shanghai and Tientsin trips, and certainly not for “half terms.” Secretary). From the Phillippines: “Thank you for the $50 gift recently received for sports equipment for our Phillippine Chefoo School. At present the school is in Calapan at the Mission Home, but this is only temporary. When finally located we would like to use this gift to buy playground equipment, swings, bars, rings, balls and the like. At present we have only seven pupils in Chefoo, of varied nationalities. The Neville Coopers (Australian) have three; the David Fullers with two will be going to Canadian schools (she’s from California) and the Hanselmans also with two, are from the U.S. (She’s Australian, Joy Havman). The other day I (an American) was looking at a list of homonyms in an Australian text. It listed ‘oar’ and ‘awe’ as homonyms. They certainly aren’t for me! So you see there needs to be 6...”

“...Little Bird, not exactly ‘top secret’, only perhaps ‘classified' for a while. “A Russian consul general in Tientsin of a previous era has bequeathed his private papers, masses of them one understands, to a Canadian university. As his period covered twenty-five important years of this century in Russian, Far Eastern and world history, this sounds like a veritable treasure trove, and when the same Little Bird adds that among other choice items were found runs of the Chefoo Daily News listing such tit bits as the Chefoo Schools prize winners of that bygone year, one’s mouth waters. More one hopes when all this becomes ‘unclassified’.” Of the AUSTIN family: PAUL will be visiting Leningrad this summer for research. He is assistant Professor of Russian at McGill University in Montreal, with his Ph.D. in Russian safely behind him, having written a 7...”

“...daughter and four grandchildren. In August our son moved from London, Ontario to near Bronte, so at last we are all very near each other. My husband is working as a consultant architect. Have been on outings with WINNIE PALMER GAMBLING, as she lives close by.” From JACK BURGESS (really Australia, but the news came here): in a letter to ISABEL TAYLOR: “I was so pleased to meet you again and your two sisters GRACE and MARION, besides so many other Chefusians in Toronto. (MARION and ISABEL had a Chefoo gathering to meet JACK, at which he told us the most fascinating stories of his endless travels. Besides the TAYLOR'S present were MARGARET BUNTING, BRUCE and MRS. CLINTON. VIVIAN and MRS. GONDER, ELSA LOGAN (from Rochester across the border). MRS. ALFRED OLSEN, and CONNIE BROCK WINDSOR. “I very much appreciated the list of addresses you gave me, as that enabled me to meet the CROFTS (JOHN and ALFRED), and the BUTLANDS (CHARLIE and BERTRAM) in the U.S.A. I wrote to ANDREW (SAMMY) HUTSON in Vancouver...”

“...going on to Tokyo and the meetings of the Baptist World Alliance Congress. That was a rich experience in many ways. While there our sister GERTRUDE (now know as ‘TRUDY’) came through on the S.S. President Wilson with her husband and two sons going around the world. We have since visited my brother BRYAN in Oklahoma and plan this fall to take LOIS to N.Y. to see brother BENTLEY. Perhaps we may also see RUTH DILLEY (Mrs. Donald SIMS) in El Paso where she teaches art in the public schools. That’s quite a bit of Chefoo, isn’t it?” From JOSEPH COOKE. 5243 12th Avenue, N.E. Seattle, Washington 98105, U.S.A. “Just extremely busy trying to keep up with the demands of my teaching position at the University of Washington, while at the same time finding increasing opportunities for speaking, teaching and preaching at the church we attend, and also at Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship meetings and conferences elsewhere. I was delighted to learn through the C.S.A. magazine that ERIC HOYTE lives here...”

“...‘Cow’ at Chefoo. I still get ‘Soap’ from friends I made at Wycliffe College when I first came to Canada. I hear occasionally from FRED WHITTLESEY (‘Shrimp’) of Morgantown, U.S.A.” Address: 57 John St., Weston, Ontario, Canada. From DOROTHY SIBLEY CURTIS of the Sibley family: 203 Reamer Avenue, Wilmington, Del., U.S.A. “We had a nice visit from LISETTE MILLER BATES a couple of years ago. Since then her husband has passed away, and mine also, as maybe CONRAD LAGERQUIST informed you. We have two sons and eight grandchildren and enjoy every one. I wish others from Chefoo would drop in. My sister BEE came east for a visit in November. NORMAN lives at Cape Cod and is retired from pastoral work, but travels to mission fields and lectures with slides about the places visited. BEE and Andy start on a tour to South Africa soon. She wrote me recently about JACK BURGESS’S visit and I’d hoped he would come this way but it didn’t seem feasible. Yes, in Lao-ho-kow we had quite a bit of association with the...”

“...issue of the C.S.A. magazine. (Sorry, my fault probably, Secy.) It should read, Word Books, not World Books. Word started out as a record producer, religious music. Five years ago it went into the book business, and now has about 150 books in print. Last year we published a biography of Dr. Robert Beddoe, Southern Baptist Missionary to China (Wuchow in the south). He married his wife in Chefoo though, where she had been assigned, and then brought her back to Wuchow. My sister and her husband, FLORA NELL DUKE and two girls visited over here in April and May from England.FLORA NELL would have come to Chefoo with me after the Christmas vacation of 1941—but other things intervened during that holiday! JOHN KAUDERER writes: “In October we attended the wedding of my nephew, Stephen Adams, MARGARET’S son, a grand opportunity to meet my sister MARGARET, and her family, now four married children and nine grandchildren. My sister LENA (MRS. WILLIAM SPIELER) was also there. She recently sustained an...”

“...taking in the Passion Play. A note to old Chefusians in the London area; the day there is 13th July, so do stick around and let’s have a small reunion of our own. A bientot alors\ ” (ISABEL wrote about this to London. En route thereto, ELSA stopped off in Toronto at the time of the party for JACK BURGESS at the TAYLOR’S and the Chefoo annual summer picnic. Secy.) From ROBERT LOOSLEY: “At long last, someone forwarded to me a copy of your most interesting Chefoo magazine. As requested therein here is a history of my activities since leaving school. I should mention, in the first place, that the June 1970 issue contains many, many names of those who were at Chefoo when I was, notably ALBERT WHITTLESEY, whom I tried to look up in Philadelphia last fall; MISS UNWIN, who nursed me through a severe case of typhoid and who must be credited in part for my existence from that time; TOBY BUTLAND and ALFRED CROFTS. I regret very much reading of BRIAN MCCARTHY’S death. 13...”

“...connection with the School of Medicine at Yale, for the Cornell Centennial Fund, and most recently for Columbia University. It was during the latter assignment that I heard from the only Chefooite who has contacted me since I left in 1919. The Columbia riots filled a good deal of space in magazines and newspapers in 1968, and Time magazine quoted me very briefly on what had happened on the Columbia campus. Not long after that, I received a note from ALFRED CROFTS asking if I had attended Chefoo Schools. Other than that I have not run into any of my old class mates, which must prove that I have lived a secluded life! ” IVY GONDER MILDON writes: “Im starting back at North York General Hospital next September. Em glad I decided to still do shifts since I do prefer floor duty to specialling and N.Y. G.H. is a good place to work as a nursing assistant.” A letter from DAVID PEARSON: In looking at a recent membership list, I notice that I am still shown as living in Japan. As a matter of fact I have...”

“...membership. The balance is to go to the two schools now operating in Manila and Japan. By the way, what name do these schools go under? Finally I should like to extend sincere greetings to all other Chefusians around the world.” From MISS PYLE, actually England but addressed “to the old Chefusians of North America. My very warm thanks to your secretaries who on your behalf sent a heartening greeting of remembrance on my recent birthday. It was delivered just after the June issue of the Chefoo magazine. It was great to read news of so many of you. Whether I ever taught you or not, you were well known to me by name when you were in Chefoo, and I love to read of your achievements as well as to rejoice with you in your joys and sympathize with you in your sorrows. We are one family in Christ. I have just retired from teaching and am now making my home with former fellow-workers of a younger generation in Kingsmead School. If I owe you a letter, please forgive.” New address: 3 Lower Blandford...”

“...the TAYLOR families (HUDSON TAYLOR’S this time. See news item from DOROTHY SIBLEY CURTIS) BERTIE TAYLOR writes: I too am sorry to have missed the Toronto Chefoo reunion (BERTIE represented his firm in Toronto for a number of years), especially since JAMIE could come. He has been here and told us how much he enjoyed meeting old friends . Our reason for being in Spring Arbor at the time of the accident was to be present at the Commencement program of Spring Arbor College when both JAMES and Alice, his wife, had doctor’s degrees conferred on them. Lie did not tell you about this, but I am enclosing a brochure from the college.” Extracts from this long and most complimentary brochure. “JAMES HUDSON TAYLOR II is the son of workers in the China Inland Mission, founded by his eminent grandfather, Hudson Taylor. Educated in the Chefoo Schools, in China, JAMES TAYLOR came under the influence of E. P. Ashcraft, and was impresser with the message of Christian Holiness. This brought him to the Free...”

“...of whom there was some mention from CHRISTOPHER STARK, above, “I am most grateful to you for your kind thoughts relative to my operation and so forth. Now — after about li years, I can walk with a cane and have much less pain and more flexibility in the joint. I am writing this in my third floor ‘study’ which in this weather has a temperature of about 110 degrees and the water is just rolling off me as on some of the hot days in Chefoo, but then I was younger, and was usually playing games.” News of the U0M0T0 family some of whom were in the Sendai (Japan) “Chefoo.” “LOIS is finishing University of Washington, but still must go for another year for internship. She majors in occupational therapy. She is to be married this Fall to Paul Lindberg, who is at present in Vietnam. LOIS graduated at the head of her class in high school; CALVIN is a junior at the university. He is majoring in psychology, and may work with Job Therapy, which is a government organization to help boys from the reformatory...”

“...of her class. MURRAY, though not first, was one of two students of his school who got national scholastic honours, which means he is sought after by the best universities in the States. EARL’S interest is in athletics. FAITH, 14, does well in school too. She will return with us to Japan, as will RUTH and HOPE.” (A most talented family it seems, all in the best Chefoo tradition.—Secy.) From RUTH JACOBSEN WATSON with her fees 11810 Radio Drive, Los Angeles Calif 90064, U.S.A. in a letter to ISABF.I, TAYLOR “May I take this opportunity to thank those who are contributing time and energy to get out the magazine. It is always interesting and informative.” (Note from ISABEL that this is not for publication, which note the Secretary is disregarding). AUSTRALIA BRANCH Chairman: MR.

“...pondered what we had been told our hearts were lifted up to God in gratitude. There was real pleasure too, meeting some of the young folk who are taking up the torch of Chefoo. We shared with them the beautiful grounds and home that God has provided. We realised that the same care God has shown to those of His children who have given up houses and lands for the sake of the Kingdom of God, is shown to their children. Indeed, part of the ‘Manifold More’ promised in Luke 18, 29, 30. Nevertheless the truth must ever be in mind—Virtus non Stemms. Although we may be blessed in the facts of our ancestry, we shall never know the fullest blessing until the God of the fathers is the children’s God in faith and practice. May God bless and prosper all those young folk we met. Following reminiscences, we naturally ask, ‘how are things with you now?’ And so we share present experiences of the good hand of God upon us. We learned from ERNEST GRAINGER of his recent travels in the States. He has grown the...”

“...Nicholson, DR. and MRS. PEARCE, JEAN PEARCE, DAVID and Rosalie PARRY, KATIE PARRY, EDITH PREEDY, MARTIN REYNOLDS, BEATRICE and DOROTHY STARK, MRS. STRANGE. JOAN (PAILING) CHEATLE moved to Stockport last December. The new address is 9 Emery Close, Heaton Moor, Stockport, Cheshire SK4 4AY. They are now happily settled and busy making new friends. JOAN wonders of there are any Chefusians around. JOAN’S son, Philip, has changed schools and is getting acclimatised slowly. Her step-daughter, Hilary, was married in September so did not move with them. At present they are not involved in any Church or Scout activities to replace those in which they had been taking part and although they miss them the break is welcome at present. JOAN’S sister, KAY PAILING is still with the Ministry of Housing and now has a Senior post which keeps her very busy but she enjoys it. KAY had a year’s research fellowship to the U.S. A. a few years ago and met some China friends while there which added to the interest...”

“...return to her home country she hopes to offer her services to the Leprosy Mission. The PEARCE family go along on an even keel so far and praise God for His goodness to each member. JOHN and family are settled in Worksop. MARGARET is still at the British Hospital, Woolwich, but is now Sister tutor and very much enjoys teaching. ELIZABETH and her husband plan to move to a larger house to accommodate the family. JEAN now having a car can take her parents for trips, hence the visit recently to the Chefoo Reunion and the meeting again of old and young friends. We recently met Mrs. Parker nee ALLEN 1904-1914 she sends greetings to her school friends. P.S.—I thought I would send this before I allowed time to pass and the thoughts to disappear! DR.
