“...Martha(Maud)Elizabeth Brock, n^e Gordon spent 1916-1939 in China, for the first 2^ years on the staff of the Chefoo preparatory school. Gordon & Stan Conway were both taught for a time by her, and were able to attend her funeral service 18th Sept. 1980. From Chefoo, Miss Gordon moved to Anhwei province for language study and children's work. Then in 1921 she married the Rev.John Brock and this necessitated another move into Honan, and to the important river port of Chowkiakow, where she was engaged in children's and women's work, besides offering gracious hospitality to all missionaries who passed through that city. Such kindness meant much, when I, as a new bride(Mrs Gordon Conway) first met her. During the years there brigands and robbers caused concern, but Mr & Mrs Brock's faith and perseverance held firm, so that they were loved and esteemed by the Chinese men and women as wise and sympathetic counsellors, as quoted in a China's Millions magazine of that period. Mr. Brock died in 1942...”

It was great to have representatives from the more recent Chefoo schools with us too - some of them are living in the O.M.F. "Mira-booka" home for missionaries' children in Sydney. We really felt that there were more Chefusians there than had enjoyed the Chow, who had come from all over the world, for the July Chefoo magazines had just arrived and were distributed that evening. We felt we were meeting friends from near and far as we read news of their activities.

Hills Cotterill writes from 10 Knoll Road, Sidcup, Kent DA14 4QU in September 1980. Just some news from the Cotterill family. I wonder if any of the "real Chefoo" staff and boys and girls remember me, either from the schoo1-by-the-sea or from Weihsien Camp. We still live near London and would warmly welcome a phone call or a visit from Old Chefusians visiting the U.K. I read the news avidly, especially when I recognize former pupils under their married names and clad in so much academic or missionary achievement. We are planning to leave the London area within the next 18 months we hope, but as yet are awaiting some movement of the "pillar of cloud or fire" to indicate just where to establish what must be our final home.

School. She was on duty on the fateful day when Len fell and she told us, (on many occasions!) what he said.

“...Barbara Tootill, Brenda Scott and Sharon Meadows , and they had a good share in organizing the Reunion. After meeting various folk whom she hadn't seen for several years groups sat around eating lunch(Bea and Dorothy Stark had taken Irene's) with tea or coffee provided by Maxwell House. Again there was a chance for chatting outside on the lawn. Then a number of the young folk had brought with them slides of their time at Chefoo and these were shown on the screen to cries of "there's so & so" and "Ooh, look at you", and so on! Later Mr. Miller, ex-headmaster of Malaysian Chefoo, showed slides with accompanying tape of that school, and after a brief word from him, and the singing of "Lord of All Power and Might" the Reunion closed - but still the chatting went on. Now Maxwell House has been sold and a new "Maxwell House" will house the OMFers at Sevenoaks where the Headquarters of the OMF is now located.
