Often this was not discussed by the children, just known. A parent, more often a father, would die from illness or accident. For the Torjesen children, late in 1939, it was due to an act of war. Peter and Valborg Torjesen were serving in Shanxi province among the Mongolian population, and although they were with...”

“...Manchester. They returned to China in September 1913 but decided to leave Alfred home with relatives. They must have thought this would be in his best interests. He was 16 years old. They would never see him again. In August 1914 the 1st World War broke out. Lord Kitchener’s recruiting campaign swung into action. The people of Manchester responded vigorously, not the least the Manchester Scottish community. There was a strong Scottish presence in Manchester represented by the Manchester Caledonian Association and the St Andrews Society. These two groups developed the idea of a Manchester Scottish battalion made up of young men who could claim Scottish ancestry. They hinted at a connection with a Highland regiment. Alfred Andrew fitted the bill. His mother was born, Jessie Findlay, in southwest Scotland in the heart of Covenanter country. Her family had moved to Manchester when she was a teenager. He could also claim Scottish blood on his father’s side too. These young men, swept away by a wild romance...”

But, if all ships were in port, there might be as many as 600 men ashore in the evenings and weekends. This number must have had a noticeable impact on the Chefoo economy and social order. Many of the sailors were handsome teenagers right off the farm. This must have given the headmistress at the Girls' School some sleepless nights! The Navy Young Men's Christian Association downtown could only do so much to channel the adventuresome energies of these lads. Among the Navy families that followed the fleet each summer to Chefoo were a fair number of children. I recently queried one of these children, with whom I have kept contact over the years, about her Navy schooling experience. I asked Mary Ann Schindler Ward: "Where did you heathen Navyjuniors, who did not go to CIM, go to school in Chefoo-Yantai?" She replied: "We went to the Fleet School. I think that’s what...”

“...kids - 'MK' in Miller1s book. In both followings, families are frequently separated for long periods. Also, their lives are dedicated to living outside of themselves as they serve and do their duty. This is in contrast with the many who look only inward and worry about self and numero uno, ultimately a fools game. I am thankful for my Navy and CIM experiences for inculcating me with this truth.* THANK YOU, RIDLEY Marjorie (Butler) Keeble, the Secretary/Treasurer of the Australia Branch of the Association, has informed us that RIDLEY SMITH (Kiating, Kalimpong, Kuling) has kindly agreed to stand in as Chairman of the Branch. Marjorie writes: “I am delighted, as Ridley was prepared to fly to Melbourne and to Brisbane for the reunions this year and he will be more than a figurehead.” This position was vacated last year by Theo Hayman, who had faithfully worked on behalf of the Branch for many years, for which we...”

“...teaching for a number of years Jackjoined the Ontario Ministry of Education and was instrumental in planning the science curriculum for Ontario Secondary Schools. He retired in 1987, but continued to exercise his gift of teaching by instructing in teaching methodology at Central Baptist Seminary in Toronto for a year, and he taught courses at night school at Ontario Bible College (now Tyndale University College). When Jack retired in 1987, at a special dinner in his honour, the Science Teachers Association of Ontario announced that they were creating the "Jack Bell" science award to be given to an outstanding science teacher when nominated each year. Jack was a dedicated teacher, both in the classroom and in the church, and was loved by all who knew him. He was a dearly love husband, father and grandfather. A verse from Isaiah was quoted in the handout at Jack's funeral visitation, which was very precious to him. It had been inscribed in the front of the little Chefoo Bible given to him on graduation...”

“...and approaches with great insight - he was e-mailing recommendations to various software compa nies within a few months of discovering the capabilities of the Internet. His family finds comfort in knowing he was striding forward to embrace life when it was so abruptly snatched from him. He is survived by his three daughters and their children. From the Toronto Globe & Mail, May 16. Lillian May Conway, 3 May 1910 - 7 Feb 2006 May Conway was among the honoured few that can lay claim to direct association with three generations of Chefoo. She was married to Gordon who was born in China and educated at Yantai; later as missionaries with CIM they served together at Ruling; and their grandchildren attended Chefoo in the Cameron Highlands. May's life could well be summed up in Paul's words "For me to live is Christ, to die is gain" (Phil 1 -21). Or, as someone quoted at her funeral, "Many people have good beginnings, few have good endings". But May was surely in that "few". Although born in Glo...”

“...r boys in Ballingham, Hereford until their parents returned from Java in 1962. She then took the position as secretary to the Headmistress at Clarendon School in North Wales, and worked there until she retired in 1975. She returned once again to Toronto. She spent her last years at a retirement home, then, as her memory failed, she transferred to a nursing home affiliated with Calvary Church. For many years she was a member of the executive of the North America Branch of the Chefoo School Association, and in the last few years she was acknowledged as an honorary member. She faithfully attended Toronto reunions until her health made this no longer possible. From notes left by Irene, with assistance of Chefusian Bob McMullan ERNST W. RUCK, 24/3/1922 -12/ 10/ 2005 Ernst Ruck was at the Chefoo School briefly in the mid 30s. His parents did missionary work in Peking with the Exclusive Brethren. For Ernst it must have been a difficult time because he was German, and Germany and Britain were on...”
