Seen on the BBC; International power duo

there I was watching the BBC News when on came an advertisement promoting Hong Kong featuring our own Peter and Jing Forsythe. They came across as the international glamour power couple. The ad took some from this HK promotion piece. Click on http://facesofhongkong.com/en/ and then click on the faces of Peter and Jing and they will take you on a tour of Hong Kong waters. I think an ad for ROLEX watches should be next and I should be their manager (just kidding).

Death of Paul McKeown

Mr Paul John McKeown AM,
Mr Paul McKeown was Headmaster at Canberra Grammar School from 1959 to 1985. Early this morning we were advised that Mr McKeown passed away, peacefully at his home. He was 87 years old. Details about a memorial service, according to the family’s wishes, will be advised in due course.
Outstanding leader in life and education ...is the heading in The Canberra Times Obituary published on Thursday 27th May 2010..you will probably have to click on image and enlarge as it was scanned.

[PF] Posting below emails from Padge and Dave Edmunds, re possible get-together on 15-16 May....

[SP email of 2nd May]:  
Dear mates, I am forwarding this e-mail from David Edmunds to those who might like another opportunity to get together on the weekend of 15th/16th May. Do a reply to David ASAP so he knows if he should go ahead with the booking. You can count me in David, I hope we can get a quorum.

Barry fanging along with Therezia in Targa Tasmania

Thanks to Steve Padge for bringing this to our attention.

Barry, long-time competitor in the really, seriously competitively racy Targa Tasmania has been doing this for many years, with great success, mostly with podium finishes and often first.

Story in Canberra Times of 26th April, reporting that Barry and Therezia are climbing the leader board (I guess the result known by now).

Click on photo at left for larger size, and lint to another story on them in the Times' here.

Another photo of Barry, looking very fine and very young, below a few years back, at the Yacht Club here in Hong Kong.
