“...1901-1910. Olive was born at the C.I.M. Station, Chengtu, West China, the daughter of missionaries Adam and Rhoda Grainger. She always retained vivid memories of the Boxer troubles, of adventurous boat journeys through the Yangtze Rapids, of a furlough visit to Britain 1898-1900 and of the years shared with her sister Rhoda, at the Junior and Girls' Schools at Chefoo. Her two younger sisters, Lily and May followed on at Chefoo, and her brother Frnest was there 1910-1920. After an interlude back in Chengtu, where she acquired her father's love of gardening and photography, she came to England and in 1914 married William Callis, a farmer of the village of Mears Ashby, near Northampton. In 1919 her sister Rhoda married William's brother Henry. After the death of her father in Chengtu in 1921 her mother retired to Mears Ashby, and was buried there in 1931. Her sister May (who married Fred Purchas) served with the Mission, as did also her niece Joy Cal 1is(married to Arthur Reynolds). Olive passed...”

“...Margaret(Mrs. Bob.)Davis died in Toronto on October 4th 1982, after an 18th month illness. Bob. and Marg, went to East Asia with O.M.F. in 1971 and' served their first term in Japan. In 1973 they were houseparents at Chefoo School Nanae. One mother has written, 'Our two children were the first to go to Nanae Chefoo from Korea. Few know how much Bob and Marg did as houseparents to comfort and cheer those two wee ones. When Bob returned to the Area Secretary's post in Sapporo they still remembered and included our two in their family at half-term breaks.' When Bob and Marg returned to Canada on furlough we much enjoyed hearing Marg speak on Nanae, showing a few slides, at one of our annual Toronto Reunions. After furlough the Davises remained in Toronto on the O.M.F. Home Staff, Bob being the Secretary-Treasurer at Canadian Headquarters for three years. Then the call came for them to go in January 1979 to Singapore where Bob became Director of Finance and Administration at O.M.F. International...”

“...regret and ours she couldn't manage to get that sleeve on - so we missed her. And how much we shall miss her at our 1983 Reunion. Sarah(Cornwel1)White - Chefoo 1900-1909 died in Camden, Maine on Oct.16th, 1982. She was the 2nd oldest of seven children in the Cornwell family. When both parents died of cholera in Chefoo in 1909 within a week of each other heavy responsibility fell on her shoulders, as Willie, the oldest had already left Chefoo for college in the States. Mith the help of 2 missionary ladies 16 year old Sarah steered the 5 younger children to Grandmother Mead's in Yorktown, N.Y. So ended the first period of Sarah's life. One that was full of happy memories of the C.I.M. Schools(Louise Corbett was her special friend) with many family outings by boat, 'shenza' and even wheelbarrow. Laura can still feel Sarah's firm, no-nonsense hair brushing and braiding for school. After finishing High School and college Sarah taught Grade School at Yorktown Heights and Peekshill, N.Y. On Feb.22nd...”

“...Whittlesey - Chefoo - 1910-1918 - died in field, VT. on May 23rd. 1982. Albert left Chefoo at 14 when his parents were appointed to the Home Staff of the China Inland Mission in Philadelphia, After finishing his High School education in that city he attended Lafayette College, where he captained the soccer team, winning his bachelor's degree in 1926.

“...for some years but has at last made contact with other CSA members. She and her husband enjoyed an evening with Alf Binks and Christopher Fairclough who was telling of his trip back to Chefoo. Elsie Edgar writes that she has a nephew with the Baptist Mission in Thailand and their 5 children are attending the Chefoo School in the Cameron Highlands. Faith(Hutton)Ledgard - 44 Carlton Crescent, Kogarah Bay, NSW 2217. is very involved with the Girl Guides and is a Region Commissioner trainer for N.S.W. A couple of months ago she attended a State Muster, when over 1300 folk were in camp for about ten days. It was in the centre of NSW and in a drought area. The heat was intense and the red dust left its mark on clothes, campers and tents! What a difference from the small patrol or ranger camps we had in Chefoo down in the gully below the G.S. Different but no less enjoyable! 11....”

“...medical practice and is much the same Eric. Jim Cunningham and his wife have both had surgery. Jim had a "by-pass" operation on his heart which has slowed him down somewhat. (He won't be running so well for a while!) In a roundabout way we have news of Frank Armstrong (Kuling, Chefoo - 1948-51) who is a pilot with Qantas Airways. A TEAM missionary couple from Indonesia were on his plane last July and had some conversation with him on the flight deck. He told them he had been at Chefoo School and was interested to get in touch with some of his contemporaries there, mentioning especially the Kraft boys. (We sent Frank the Kraft's addresses, and also those of other Kuling Chefusians in North America, as well as Faith Ledgard's address in Australia. But neither we here in Toronto, or Faith in Australia have as yet heard from Frank. Please let us., and Faith, know if you have any address for him. We used just 'Qantas Airways,Sydney', and neither our letter or a copy of 'Tours and Reunions' which...”

“...another occasion. She keeps in touch with Edith, (now Jeanne)Andrews who was in the same year as herself. Christopher Fairclough, writing from Australia enjoyed the trip into China and Chefoo with other ex-Chefusians in Sept., 1981. He was able to take a walk along the beach where the boat shed still stands, past Bottle Rock to Second Beach where the remains of the old pier still exists and where many learned to swim. A happy ending to the trip was a visit in Hong Kong with John and Isabel Hirst at their lovely flat at the top of the Peak, several others who had been at Chefoo joined them. Anne Edwards has been a clerical assistant at the Tear Fund Office in Teddington in their Child Care Sponsorship programme. She would like to go back to teaching but this is not easy these days. She has met several ex-Chefoo staff and children since coming back including the Casto family, over from the States for a visit. Her father has not been well and was in hospital for 17 weeks in early 1982 but seems...”

“...Thailand this year. They saw many old friends, had many meetings to speak at and had a good holiday. The children enjoyed revisiting the land of their bi rth. Amy Wilson had her gall bladder removed in the Autumn of 1982 but is making a good recovery now, convalescing at Folkestone with an old friend. (7 St. James Rd., Tunbridge Wells, Kent.) This advertisement was spotted in a SAGA news sheet recently: "Mrs W. Wilson, 50 Keswick Rd., Blackpool, Lancs. FYL 5PB would like to hear from anyone from Chefoo, who was in Weihsien Camp, 1943-45. Elva(Cook)Nicholson and her sister Winnifred had another memorable China visit in 1982 - this time to the far North-West, going from Peking a 4 hour plane trip to Urumqi the capital of the autonomous region of Xinjiang, a multi-national region with a population of 12 million. Nearly half of these are of Uygur stock who along with the Kazakhs, another minority group, are staunchly Muslim, their language being similar to Arabic. From Urumqi the travellers took...”

“...CURRENT CHEFOO NEWS Miss Judy Spear on the Staff of Chefoo School, Nanae, Japan, writes on Sept., 4th to thank us for our annual gift to the School, which they plan to use on games and P.E. equipment. We expect to use the gift from the Centennial Fund for an autumn trip, since our plans for the summer one had to be cancelled. Last term we had a visit from Dr. James Taylor, and the children(and Staff!) all listened enthralled by his stories of life in the China Chefoo' and his days in internment camp. He made them come alive for us. Some of the stories and anecdotes from 'Pigtails, Petticoats and the Old School Tie1 have also helped us to imagine what life was like in those days. Back here, in Nanae, one of the highlights last term was our Sports Day, in which we were joined by about 30 Japanese children from the local elementary school. We were very grateful for the good spirit of co-operation there seemed to be, despite the language differences. With only 18 children here, such joint ...”

“...n helpers, Lily and Nisa. Life here is even more diversified than it was in Baguio, as the children have to go to school at different times, and have many other activities. Our days are never dull. Recently we celebrated 3 birthdays, all in one week, and since these 3 boys wanted a midnight feast instead of a party we had 'pudding' and stories in the middle of the night! At our Chefoo birthday in June our General Director, Jim Taylor, was our guest, and really got everybody's attention by sharing with us his experience in Chefoo School during the War. Quite often there are special things going on in the schools the children attend. The German school had a sports day, and the Swiss school a swimming contest. We took our older children to see a play put on by Grade 8 of the German school and they enjoyed it trememdously. 20....”

“...Toronto Chefoo Reunion, April 3, 1982 The Annual Chefoo Schools Association Chinese dinner has been a highlight of my winter since I first attended at the age of 11 - 10 years ago. Being a second generat- ion Chefusian(second generation of schools, that is, the generations of Chefusians seem to be without number) the tales of Chefoo daring, escapades on window ledges, boat races, and the joys and fears of Japanese Internment Camp have always entranced me. This last Reunion attended by about 100 people was no exception. The usual 'smashing feast' spread itself before us, with endless varieties of Chinese dishes until the table itself seemed to groan, although we did not! It is customary among us latter day Chefusians to refrain almost from eating for a full day prior to the Chefoo dinner by way of preparation. I might add that at this time a number of kind souls contributed left-overs from their tables to our 'doggie bags' commenting as they did so on the unhappy plight of bachelors who...”

“...fortunately was in town and able to join with us. He told of some of his experiences as a Chef-usian, humorous incidents in the life of a not-so-terri-bly well-behaved schoolboy. Then came the Pacific War and Weihsien Internment Camp where God's faithfulness was demonstrated so clearly again and again. The story of the Taylor children's return, after the war was over, across China to the surprised but overjoyed arms of their parents gave final testimony not only to the faithfulness of our Lord in the Chefoo experience, but also in the lives of hundreds of parents over the years who have entrusted their most precious possessions to the care of our most loving Father. As we sang to close, He is indeed 'Lord of all power and might'. Jon Fuller Grace(Preedy)Barnes - 1948-51 (1000 E.

“...Hamilton, Niagara Falls and Ottawa. They had a good visit in Ottawa with Rose's brother Stan and his son. While at Stan's apartment they reminisced about old times in Chefoo, and Stan showed them some of his latest snaps. This is the first time since they left for the West years ago that they have taken a trip back to Ontario. (We were sorry to miss seeing them in Toronto - Ed.) Jennifer Dunn - 1955-1960 (5002 Dalhousie Dr., N.W., Calgary, Alta. T3A 1B4) came home to Canada after two years on the Staff of Chefoo School, Malaysia, in June. Now she has the new experience of doing office work in connection with Christian INFO, a service organization to help churches and missionaries on furlough in Calgary. Her 'boss' is Lois Bromley, whose older brother Alan attended Chefoo School in Kuling, and who herself taught at 'Chefoo' in Baguio, Philippines from 1969-1971. Jennifer is enjoying her work. She writes, ' Somebody in our office was recently groaning about September's heavy work load, begging...”

Eddie Hanna - 1964-1968 is going to Okinawa, with the United States Marines?as a para medic. Betty(Ford)Hosie - 1906-1918 was an enthusiastic member of Group A on the Chefoo Tour in Sept., 1981 and read with interest in the last issue of the Chefoo magazine about some of her old school mates - so few are left -'I keep active, ride my bicycle, walk a mile a day(with a blind friend who needs to get out), then swim 220yds, eat well and sleep well.1 Not Betty herself, but one of her tour mates sent us this poem of Betty's, entitled 'Nostalgia'. 'It's many years since Chefoo Days And we have all gone separate ways. But I would like to share with you Some of the good things I once knew. The gong that brought us wide awake, The 'quiet time' we had to take, "Inspection", then- all spic and span, And that's the way the day began. The peanut butter thinly spread And marmalade...”

“...The "San" across the gulley lay, Where often parents came to stay, The "B.D." was our general store, We spent our pennies, not much more. And once a year, Foundation Day, The "Cup Races" across the bay. And tennis matches fiercely played, And Cake and Tea in the Elm tree shade. "Oxfords" when summer days were near, We entered them in hope and fear, But "Exhibition Day" was the culmination Of Fun, of work and education. Memories of Chefoo Days So long ago, in the far off haze, But yet, like yesterday they seem In retrospect, like last night's dream. John Hoyte - 1939-45 (300 Menlo Oaks Drive, Menlo Park CA 94025) My wife Alma, Lisa(aged 13) and Jon-athan(aged 10) and I went off to Europe for the month of August.

“...for a place of outreach, close enough to our home that I can have a part in this during the day, in addition to our involvement as a couple. Gertie(Gibb)Jones - 1911-1921 (9 Haldon Ave., Apt.409, Toronto, Ont. M4C 4P5) and her husband Ewart have retired in Toronto after many years of missionary service in Argentine. They came up to Toronto in the Spring of 1981 for Gertie to have hip surgery, and we were delighted that she was recovered enough from that for them both to be able to attend the Chefoo Centennial Dinner in June. Later they had a visit in the U.K. with relatives and friends, as well as in Germany with their son Ian and his family. Ian teaches in a school for children of British Army personnel in Germany. After a few weeks back in Toronto Gertie and Ewart spent some months over our winter and their summer, back in Argentine winding up their affairs, and leaving behind a live group of Christians in the suburb of Buenos Aires where they had been working for several years.

“...wives, a grandson and a grand-daughter and her husband. We were at Paul's church in Baltimore that day and the minister announced we were among the visitors, and it was my 88th birthday! Like a good Chinese, I am not ashamed of my age, in fact, proud of it. The Lord has been good to both of us. We are in good health and celebrated our 62nd wedding anniversary in June. We still enjoy reading the Chefoo magazines and the reports of those who have been back. It is very easy to be overcome with nostalgia.1 Mary(Goforth)Moynan - 1915-1921 (2602 South Union, #B608, Tacoma, WA 98405) From Sept. - Nov.

“...Griffiths and a group of Nanae Chefusians who had been at school while I was on the Staff. Besides Michael and Richard Abrahams, there were John Griffiths, Jonathan and Mary Highwood and Danny and Philip Metcalf. It was good to meet these, and to be able to picture them now in my mind as young people, not just as the boys and girls they were in those days long agol After we returned to Edinburgh Rachel arranged a mini Reunion in their home. Cathie had taken the albums of pictures of her trip to Chefoo and other places and told something of their experiences. The time flew past much too quickly. Those with us were - Marian(Young) and HaroldWeller, Catherine (SIimmon)Boyle, Bobby and Grace Walker, Bernard and Helen Walker, Dorothy(Toone)Murray, and Isabel(Harris) Herron.
