“...At the invitation of the President and the Committee of the Great Britain Branch of the Chefoo Schools Association, Mr. John Mi I ler has agreed to become a Vice-President of the Association. Mr. Miller wrote in reply: "I am honoured to be asked to be a Vice-President and I am very happy to respond positively to that. Chefoo and its people have come to mean so much to Sheila and myself, so our continuing link with them through the C.S.A. would indeed be something that we would want to agree to."
Mr. Miller was the Headmaster of the Chetoo School in Malaysia from 1970-79. We too are honoured to have him as a Vice-President, so in keeping with the tradition of other past Principals of the Chefoo Schools, such as Messrs. McCarthy and Bruce of the Boys', Misses Craig and Rice of the Girls' and Miss Blackmore of the Prep, who similarly maintained just such a connection with our Association over many years. Of course, Mr. Miller will also be well known to many Chefusians as Sheila Miller's husband...”

“...bell tower in the middle of the building was mostly gone but the rest of the building looked much the same except more d i I ap idated .
Mr. Wei, the principal, invited us to the staff room where Mr. Wong, the vice principal, and an interpreter joined us. As we sipped Chinese tea and ate watermelon, the principal told us something of the history of the school and then when it was our turn, we spoke a little about our experiences during the war and presented on behalf of the Chefoo Schools Association the plaque that we had prepared to commemorate the day of our release from the Japanese armies and also to commemorate the last resting place of our camp hero, Eric Liddell. They sensed the significance of the visit for us with our sons, particularly as we were there exactly on the 40th anniversary of the day the seven GIs parachuted down to free us. We wished Jimmy Moore, an Old Chefoo boy who was one of the parachutists, could have been with us but we realized he had come out a year ago with...”

They rejoiced in their growing family including 11 grandchildren and an equal number of great-grandchi Idren, and in all God's goodness to them through the years. Mrs. Kidder, in informing us of her husband's passing away, wrote: "We have many happy memories of our association with the Schools in Chefoo and appreciate all the School did for our four boys."

Jean was connected with the Baptist Church and was a loyal and hardworking member. She was Federal Secretary of Junior Endeavour and Jean was responsible for editing the syllabus. Her constant visitation of elderly folk was an outstanding pastoral ministry, particularly over the last few years.
Jean always had the community at heart, and she took a leading part in such organizations as the "Business and Professional Women's Association" serving as treasurer for ten years, and then for one term as president.
