When OL Jeremy Baster (R1964) realised that he would be spending a few weeks in Hong Kong, a place where he knew no one, he contacted the Alumni and Development office to see if we could help.
A few weeks later, he was on a roof top in Hong Kong chatting to fellow OL Mark Tung (R1984). Jeremy wrote “I met up with Mark Tung one Saturday morning, at his office block where the flat rooftop provides space for a series of mini-allotments, lovingly tended by the staff. He is a very nice guy and we had a couple of hours very interesting chat on the rooftop, from which I learnt a good deal about Hong Kong. As I was at LP almost 20 years before him, we didn’t have any staff in common. We did get a photo taken of both of us, Mark looking good, but myself a bit dishevelled (used to a Scottish winter, I found it quite warm in HK.)
It made all the difference having a few contacts in HK , thanks for your help in putting me in touch with him.”
Penny Wallington, Alumni Co-ordinator commented “It was great to see the wonderful Old Leightonian network across the world in action, people who didn’t know each other helping one another with a shared camaraderie stemming from the school.”
