He was born and raised at Chefoo by a prominent local family with deep roots both in missions, and in business. Apart from a couple of teen years in England to attend a school designed to train him to be a proper Englishman, with a proper British accent, that was rudely terminated at the outbreak of World War in Europe, he attended the Chefoo School as a day student. Upon completion of his schooling he left China in 1941, avoiding...”

“...to smuggle in goods and pass messages to the internees. On the base of the monument we found Paul's name (in Chinese) along with all those who had been interned - eyes brimmed with tears here. The Weifang news media made much of Paul's return (the small boy returning as an old man to a place of hardship) allocating front page and the whole of page three to the story, and photos, and presenting each of us with a complimentary copy. Steve Harnsberger, President of the Kuling American School Association, whose father and uncle attended KAS. He is writing upon receiving the 2012 Chefoo Magazine, specifically the Editor's Notebook. Here is the story of Derek—the Chinese man reaching out to me in the last three days, coming to understand why he realized his 'American Dream," and thinking of the people who made that possible. It is incredible to see those Chinese re-assessing their own lives as far back as the 1940s to understand this and ask who played a role in their education. That is why I...”

“...(known to local Chefusians as Bob), a Chefusian who was in Kunming in the last Great War, with the British Secret Service. I interviewed Bob at the April 2012 Toronto Chefoo Reunion, which was well received. This was based on several hours that I spent with Bob at his Toronto home, and at the Peartree Restaurant on Parliament Street. There was insufficient room in the 2012 issue of this Magazine to include the interview because so much of that issue was taken up with the 2012 Chefoo Schools Association tour to each of the locations of the Chefoo School in China. The interview for the Magazine this year is a bit more extensive than the Toronto reunion interview, and it also includes two contextual essays, one being an overview of the remarkable McMullan family in Shandong, and the other a brief overview of WWII, with special emphasis on the South West China theatre. These short essays are followed by Bob's interview. PARTI THE MCMULLANS OF SHANDONG James and Lily McMullan arrived separately...”

“...precedent had already been established by the Kuling American School. Here are separate accounts of these two happy acquisitions. What happened to the KAS cows after the Japanese invaded Kuling? And what about the Chefoo Kuling cows after we all left by early 1951? The fate of either herd is not known, but in the matter of the KAS cows we get a bit more of an insight. That story is therefore longer, but also fascinating. Elsa Porter is a fellow member with me on the Kuling American School Association board of directors. During China's Civil War At the Kuling Chefoo School (1947-1951) By Ruth Young, School Dietitian The local supply of cows' and goats' milk here is limited, so we have been using canned milk. Our supply was running low and fresh stocks were not available, so we were very thankful when Mr. Ernest Carlburg, who does most of our buying of food, was able to purchase three cows and a bull, American stock (Holsteins). Excitement ran high when the children heard that the animals...”

“...opened a restaurant, and Joanna Kitto has helped renovate three villas to rent to guests. About 300,000 people, mostly Chinese, visit the mountain each year. Mr. Kitto said there could be more visitors, but the mountain remains under the control of the provincial, rather county, government, which has stymied rental of the villas. Missionaries first came to Moganshan in the late 19th century. By the spring of 1898, there was a rush for property. The residents set up the Moganshan Summer Resort Association. All but one of the inaugural members was a minister. They enjoyed swimming, playing tennis, dancing to music played on gramophones. Americans dominated, followed by the British. In 1924 the Republic of China reclaimed the mountain. Well-off Chinese began coming here, among them Du Yuesheng, known as Big-Ear Du, who ran the infamous Green Gang in Shanghai, which sold opium. Chiang Kai-shek came three times to the mountain: on his honeymoon; to secretly meet with Zhou Enlai, the Communist leader...”
