“...strength, and wisdom and joy in doing this extra bit of service for Him. My sons GuY and Iain are in Toronto, where I spend the summers. I'm sorry to miss the winter Chefoo dinners by being here. My friend, Kathleen(Coates)Thompson , attended this year, and said it was very good, both the food and the program.
Phyllis(Booth)Eanes - 1922-1929 (3631 Sunrise Ave.
N.W. Roanoke, VA 24012) This has been an interesting year for me. I have been doing volunteer tutoring in one of our public junior high schools - teaching 2 brothers from Taiwan to speak and read English.

“...in the Chefoo Schools until he graduated. Meanwhile his Mother was loaned to the American Presbyterian Hospital at Temple Hill, and together they left for Canada in 1923. Pat, as he was known at school, was always a leader. A good scholar and a good athlete, he got along easily with everyone, aided by his mop of red hair and infectious Irish grin. His years in Chefoo taught him perseverance and how to study, which he later put to such good use. He enrolled at the University of Toronto, taking a law course. The writer met him again in 1924 when I came to Toronto. Al, as he was now called, introduced me, along with Harold Warren, Ken Evans and others to the boarding house where we established "The Bachelors' Rest" in the rooms on the top floor.
