Summer 2005

HKIS Alumni Website: http://dnet.hkis.edu.hk/alumni 3

In March this year, HKIS welcomed three candidates applying for the Head of School position. Faculty, staff

and parents were given the opportunityto listen to the candidates’ presentationsand raise helpful and interestingquestions.

Our Search Committee then received all the input from various individual andgroup meetings, took into considerationall the comments made, reviewed final references, and then made arecommendation to the Board ofManagers.

I am pleased to repor t that Richard W. Mueller was selected by the Board ofManagers as HKIS’s new Head ofSchool, and that the Lutheran Church inthe U.S. endorsed this decision.

The HKIS Board chose Mr. Mueller, after a careful search process, becauseof his leadership skills, passion for HKISand its mission, strong familiarity withHong Kong, China and Asia, and hisability to set ambitious goals and achievethem through a collaborative workingstyle. We are confident Mr. Mueller will bring the leadership and enthusiasmto lift HKIS to the next level of excellence

Since 1998, Mr. Mueller has been Head of School of Nor thfield MountHermon School, a well-known collegepreparatory boarding school inNorthfield, Massachusetts. He becamePresident of the school in 2004.

Nor thfield Mount Hermon has 1155students of many different nationalities.During his time at the school, Mr. Muellerbecame intimately famil iar with theeducational needs of young people. Hisleadership style emphasized theimportance of collaboration within theschool community and helped to lead theschool through a strategic planningprocess that established a new vision forthe 125-year old school.

Prior to this position, Mr. Mueller was acareer diplomat for thirty-two years withthe U. S. Department of State. He wasthe United States Consul General inHong Kong from 1993-1996 during theformative period leading up to HongKong’s reversion to China.

Previously he served in the AmericanConsulate General in Hong Kong from1983-1986 as chief of the economicsection. While on assignments inWashington, D.C. he worked forSecretaries of State George Shultz andJames Baker.

Richard’s relationship with HKIS began in1983 when his sons enrolled in theelementary school. The next year hejoined the Board of Managers andparticipated actively in the decision tobuild the new high school in Tai Tam.Other in-depth Board work includedissues related to HKIS’s relationship withHong Kong, student body compositionand diversity. Later, he served as chair ofthe Board, 1997-98, and helped establish

the agreed strategic goals which stillguide HKIS today. Those goals and theclear mission and Student LearningResults of the school sti l l resonatestrongly with him. His younger son, Eric,is a 1996 graduate of HKIS.

Family is extremely important to Richardand his wife Claire. They have two sons,Jonathan and Eric, now grown. Clairehas had her own career in the ForeignService; both share a strong interest intravel and international affairs. Theyregularly attended Church of All Nationsin their years in Hong Kong, and Richardcurrently serves as a deacon at theChurch of Christ at NMH. Richard’s keeninterests include photography, reading,tennis, and baseball (a newly-mintedBoston Red Sox fan!). He received hisAB in economics from the College ofWilliam and Mary in 1966 and joined theForeign Service the same year.

I am sure all Alumni join me in warmlywelcoming Richard as Head of School,and in looking forward to HKIS movingpositively forward under his stewardship. I will continue serving at HKIS next yearin the Head of School Office to supportthe leadership transition.

Sincerely yours,

James A. HandrichHead of School

HKIS Welcomes Richard W. Mueller

Concern turns to fundraising

efforts in the aftermath

of the tsunami

Just a day after Christmas, southAsia was rocked by the worst naturaldisaster in living memory. The force

created by the tectonic plate beneath theIndian Ocean slipping underneath theone loaded with the weight of Europe andAsia unleashed a massive earthquake.

Its almighty force violently shook thesurrounding region, immediately topplingbuildings and uprooting roads in AcheProvince, Indonesia. Worse, however,was to come: the force of the plate beinglifted up created a massive tsunami thatsped across the open sea.

Three days before the disaster, HKIS’sDirector of Human Resources, MareeHiggins, left for the tropical retreat ofKhao Lak, one-hour dr ive nor th ofPhuket, Thailand.

Maree remembers arriving in paradise:“Lush greenery and long stretches ofisolated beaches, fringed by mountains.”She was staying at the Sofitel Khao Lakhotel.

Minutes before the tsunami struck on themorning of 26 December, she wasbreakfasting in the resor t’s open-airrestaurant facing the sea.

“I noticed that the shoreline had retreated as far as the eye could see.People seemed curious. Some were even walking towards the sea. Mareecontinued on with her breakfast, obliviousto the danger that lay just seconds away.

For those who saw it coming, the tsunamiappeared as a frothing crest in thehorizon. A few seconds later, they werecaught up in a devastating white horror. “Iremember it all,” she says, “the torrent ofwater approaching the beachsiderestaurant. Screams of fear filling the air.Then I ran.

“There was no escaping it. The wave hitme head on. Its power lifted me from myfeet and carried me along with whateverelse lay in its path. I remember beingtossed and turned as if I was inside awashing machine. There was nothing Icould do.”

Maree estimates she was propelled 200meters by the swirling tide with whateverelse – tables and sunbeds and beachumbrellas – lay in its path. Miraculously,she emerged from beneath the waternear the first floor balcony of her hotel,and grabbed the balcony railings.

She remembers the water at the edge ofthe hotel was eight to nine meters deep atthis point. Anyone trapped inside belowthe first floor had little chance of survival.There she clung, watching helplessly asothers were sucked out with theretreating wave.

About two to three hours later, when the water subsided, Thai authoritiesevacuated Maree.

She sustained leg injur ies and wasadmitted to a local hospital in Takuepabefore being transferred to Bangkok forfurther medical treatment. The paradiseresort she had entered just a few daysbefore looked like a war zone: death anddestruction were everywhere. Corpseslay piled in makeshift morgues on thebeach.

Meanwhile, back in Hong Kong, news ofthe tsunami was breaking. The scale of

death and devastation started to sink inwith successive news reports depictingthe horror. It started to dawn on Maree’scolleagues in HR that she was staying in the epicenter of Thai tsunami-hit coast resort of Khao Lak.

Over the coming days, attempt afterattempt was made by the school tocontact Maree, all of them unsuccessful.

“Communication lines were down. Wehad no information on her whereabouts,”recalls Head of School Jim Handrich.“The relief we felt when eventually Mareemade contact with a colleague in HR wasindescribable.”

Maree remembers it was not long beforethe phone was ringing with colleagueswishing her well. The Middle School andHR Team sent over novels, puzzles andchocolates to help her pass the timewhilst convalescing.

“Jim Handrich phoned one morning and excitedly told me that he had justattended a High School assembly on thetsunami tragedy where 800 students andfaculty had been praying for me. Thismade me feel very cared for. I thankeveryone at HKIS for their kindness.”

Back at SchoolBack at school, the sense of relief onhearing Maree was safe was temperedby the fear that someone else associatedwith HKIS might have been caught up inthe tsunami. However, it was the middle

money. And they did it in some amusingand innovative ways.

“Nobody at HKIS wants acknowledgmentor thanks for their efforts. What we didwas our small part to help those affectedby the disaster,” stresses Jim.

Back HomeMaree was released from hospital after20 days of convalescence. Back atHKIS’s Tai Tam campus, the horror of the tsunami seems a million miles away.

“I was lucky. I have since learned that halfof the guests and staff in Sofitel Khao Lakhotel lost their lives to the tsunami.

“Since returning to Hong Kong, I haveseen the pictures of the resort on theInternet. It’s a wasteland,” she concludes.

The tsunami will go down in history as atragedy of biblical proportions. Though itwould be insensitive to suggest that anygood resulted directly from the events of26th December, the aftermath did see theworld unite behind the relief effort.

No previous disaster has seen such arallying of fund raising effor ts insideHKIS, and these efforts go on to this day.At the World’s Fair this year, for example,toys were sold to raise money for tsunamidisaster relief, and HK$110,000 raised forthe Tsunami Villiage Relief Organization.There are also a number of otherinitiatives planned over the coming weeksand months.

of the Christmas holiday when thetsunami struck, so there was no way ofknowing unti l the new term star tedwhether the school’s worst fears wouldprove founded.

“Agonizing as the wait was, we had nochoice but to endure it,” says Jim Handrich.

“Nine days would pass before the firstschool day following the Christmas andNew Year holiday – 4th January. Thedeath tol l was r ising by the minutethroughout this time.

“Though we took some comfort in the factthat in the nine days since the disasterwe’d received no specific word of HKIScasualt ies, an eer ie sense of theunknown hung over HKIS that first schoolmorning,” remembers Jim.

The Hong Kong Government had made it clear that the call ing of school registers across Hong Kong on thecommencement of the school term wouldhighlight other missing people feared lostto the tsunami.

“Ominously, we too realized it would onlybe when attendance was taken forstudents and our faculty had returned totheir posts, that we would know thoseresults.”

HKIS was indeed lucky: no otherstudents, parents or teachers wereinjured or killed in the tsunami.

This, says Jim, is little short of a miracle.HKIS has around 3,000 students,teachers and staff; many of who took theopportunity of the long Christmas breakto vacation in or around many of thetsunami-hit areas. “We count ourblessings. Parents were immediatelynotified of the good news,” he says.

Fundraising for Tsunami ReliefThe sense of relief felt that first day of termnever turned to celebration. The horrorand scale of the tragedy left no room forthis. But thoughts did quickly turn to action

to raise money for the relief effort.

In true innovative HKIS fashion, thefundraising efforts took on a life of theirown.

Some of our Middle School teachersdecided that humiliating themselves forthe pleasure of students was the surestway to kick the fundraising efforts off to aroaring start. What’s more, their ordealwas photographed.

“Without delving too much into thegruesome details, I have to inform youthat the aftermath left teachers with haircolored br ighter than a peacock’sfeathers, and another teacher as bald asa coot. One of our drama teachers tookfundraising effor ts to new heights bypiercing his ear in the full glare of facultyand students. He acted well, I believedthe tears welling in his eyes were real,”smiles Jim.

Many other teachers subjectedthemselves to a mixture of punishment and humiliation, or opted for moreconventional fundraising effor ts l ikebaking cakes and biscuits. Students didtheir bit too. Some joined events,including a movie festival, a char itymusical, and garage and junk sales.Others made individual efforts, like thestudent who emptied out her piggy bankto help raise money for the relief effort.

The combination of many separateinitiatives raised a considerable amountof money for the tsunami relief.

“I admire the fact,” says Jim, “thatindividuals and groups of students andteachers used their initiative to raise


Students this year did not simply want to meet withprofessionals, they wanted to meet with people whowere undecided. Alumni shared their own stories of

hesitation, unknowing and doubt with students and theirparents over choosing their professions. Alumni recounted howthey had fallen into or worked in certain directions beforerealising what they wanted to do.

Alumni College and Career Night was held on March 1, 2005 .Many, many thanks to the alumni, parents and faculty, as wellas the Canadian Chamber of Commerce for their participationin a truly valuable program.

As we dug deeper into the or iginaldocuments supported by the funding thatyou all provided we found tall tales andlegends that needed corroboration. BobChristian and other teachers providedample help but not just help. The spiritwith which all these people, faculty,

When you look at and smell thewonderful original documents there’s aloving sound in the writing that is stronglyAmerican, Christian and International.The origins you might think are differentfrom HKIS today but the missionremains. I’m taking with me as I leaveHKIS after 5 years, the spirit of HKIS ofdedicating my mind to inquiry, of respectfor others, compassion, service andunderstanding. I take your leave in anattempt to share with my infant andtoddler their origins and to live the HKISvalues for them.

Origins seem to become moresignificant as we get older – askany of our TCK alumni and they’ll

jump at the chance to tell you. Feeling leftout while I laughed with Bhabiji my great-grandmother, my mother said, “Now thatReena’s here you’ve forgotten about me”.Her laughter stopped and she said in whatseemed like an unnecessarily serioustone, “One must never forget one’sorigins”. I didn’t mean to remember herwords. The next year Justin Hardman’89 and I were trying to put a presentationtogether for homecoming when we foundthat there was no written history of HKIS.Origin, prime mover, history, founder,father whatever it may be called we had todig for it.

The HKIS Spirit

I’m from the class of 2001 and I just wanted to send you some interestinginformation and photographs. HKIS offered me the great opportunity tovolunteer in Asia, and I have often felt the desire to continue doing community service. In

August of 2004, I spent the month voluteering at a Kindergarten run by the Christina NobleChildren’s Foundation in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. The funniest thing I saw was children(mostly street kids/orphans) wearing HKIS jackets and other clothing donated by HKIS. I justwanted to share with the HKIS community the outreach of the school and remind everyonethat what you do does make a difference.

Larry Eichert

Larry Eichert, originally an art majorturned science enthusiast, came toHKIS in 1988 as biology and AP

biology teacher and boys basketballcoach. Over the years he has servedHKIS as science dept chair, sciencecurriculum coordinator and ran the scubaclub. He was also class advisor for theclasses of 1997 to 2001, and our listcould go on... He enjoys photography,scuba diving, exploring nature, researchwork and laughing with his beloved wifeCarol. You will rarely see Larry withouthis trademark smile.

How did you get your job at HKISand when?My formal contact with HKIS came whenDavid Rittmann called me to inquireabout one of my Form’s student teacherswho had submitted an application toHKIS. He called back a second time formore information. That led to a series offollow up calls. He then asked me if Iwould consider a “call” i f one wereoffered. One thing led to another andsuddenly I had 2 different job offers. Aftermuch prayer and deliberation both Caroland I felt HKIS was the place for us.

What was the cost of a Star Ferryticket in 1988?I’m not sure but I know it was less than adollar. (30 or 50 cents maybe)

What are some memorableexperiences from your teachingcareer?There are so many that it ’s hard tochoose one or two. I need to categorizethem into two main groups: working withstudents and professional development.It has been my privilege to have taught allgrades from kindergar ten through tograduate school and each level providedunique learning experiences. The mostmemorable are the ones when studentsthat you have taught many years ago callyou, or stop by to say hello and expresstheir gratitude for things that you said tothem or decisions you helped them tomake (which I long since had forgotten).What an awesome thought that yourwords or teachings have had a majorimpact on their lives.

The second area would be coaching:where you work together as a team toreach goals and achieve what wasconsidered to be impossible at thebeginning of the season. Finally, theopportunities that I have had to undertakeresearch work with universit ies inmedicine and life sciences. This work hasmade it possible to travel around theglobe and experience places, people andthings that others only dream about.

What do you love about teachingbiology?The most exciting thing about teachingbiology is opening students’ minds towhat is possible and helping them torealize that they are part of God’s order ofcreation and not apar t from it. It isfascinating to realize that you are workingwith the world leaders of tomorrow. Theirattitudes toward good stewardship of thenatural resources and the environmentwill determine the future of this planet.

How has HKIS changed you? How have you grown at HKIS?How have I changed? I have becomeolder, slightly heavier, have much lesshair, and have many more grandchildren.HKIS, its students, faculty and staff havebroadened my horizons toward the worldand understanding of different culturesand their values. I have become a muchmore tolerant person, open to many newideas, and I have gained a more globalperspective toward life and in dealing withothers.


Larry scuba diving

What do you predict for thefuture of HKIS?At the present time, I feel HKIS is at acrossroads in its history. Its direction willneed a unification of purpose and visionthat will enable it to progress into thetechnological future while still preservingits heritage, high academic standardsand ideals.

Are you in contact with anyalumni?It is a pleasure to get e-mails and notesfrom former students and to see themreturn to say hello. I enjoy hearing fromthem and what they are doing in theirlives. It’s amazing to find out what theyhave already achieved and the positionsof responsibility that they hold at suchyoung ages. We truly have preparedthem to be citizens of the world. Each oneis a valuable resource and supporter ofthe school. Their talents need to betapped for the betterment of the school.

What is most important to you?The most impor tant things are myrelationship with God, my wife, family andothers.

We can’t imagine real retirementfor you, so what’s the nextchapter for the Eichert’s?For the next chapter, our first task is tocomplete our move into our new house inFlorida. Then reality will set in. At thepresent time I’m looking into severaltentative options for par t t imeemployment. However it will have to besomething that will not interfere withtravel to see family, relatives and friends.

What changes have you seen atHKIS since the early days? Whatfeatures about HKIS would youlike to see endure in the future?It has been my privilege to see HKIS growfrom a single campus with two buildingsto two campuses with four buildings.Such a large increase in the schoolpopulation, faculty and staff has changedHKIS from a small school community to asmall school district. There was a timewhen you knew almost everyone at HKISon a personal basis. Now you only seesome of the faculty, in your own building,at faculty meetings. Another major areaof change is an increase in the number ofteachers from various nationalities, yet adecrease of the number of nationalities inthe student body. I would like to see theblend of various teaching styles andlearning styles continue to mesh togetherwith the original philosophy that wasenvisioned by the founding fathers of ourinstitution.

Looking to the futureLarry with his girls

The safari man

What was the cost of a Star Ferryticket then? The lower deck was $1.70. I never rodeupstairs, which was probably $2.20,because you had to pay to walk up thestairs and then walk down again on theother side. That didn’t make sense to me!

What were some memorableexperiences in your teachingcareer?I have enjoyed each new senior classsince my first graduates in 1992. Everyyear is special. Each class has its ownpersonality too. When I was still teachingclasses I taught Study Skills and CareerExploration. Both were fun. The StudySkills were taught double track – thoseworking on high school skills and thoseplanning ahead for college. That classhad freshmen through to seniors. ForCareer Exploration we invited manysuccessful people in Hong Kong topresent on their careers. We had a TaiPan, an editor of B Magazine, the head ofDHL and the list goes on. Each sharedhis or her story and I think we all learnedfrom them. Now some of those grads arein management positions. It is a joy tosee and hear about their successes.

What is it you love aboutcounseling?It is never dull, boring or repetitious. Kidsare always special, each in his or her ownway. It has been my pleasure to touch thelives of so many of them. If I countednumbers over the years it would be morethan 2,000 students. When they comeback to the office or I hear from themthrough e-mail it is always fun to learntheir stor ies, plus those of theirclassmates with whom they have stayedin touch. I have been a part of their joywith weddings and babies, and sadlysome funerals.

Carol Eicher tstar ted atHKIS in 1989

correcting buildingdefects in the facultyapar tments for thehigh school. She thenworked in ExternalRelations and workedon preparations for the

dedication of the high school. She hasbeen secretary for the head of school andfor the director of admissions. In 1991she became college counselor whereshe’s been helping students with their tough decisions ever since. We’renow wondering what to do with thehomecoming tradition, Cookies withCarol, after Carol retires.

How did you get your job at HKISand when? I came to Hong Kong with Larry in 1988and there was not a job for me that year.So I spent 3 years volunteering with AWAand became Chair of the Education andScholarship Committee and then theChair of Charitable Projects after that. Ienjoyed awarding scholarships andgiving away AWA money to wor thyrecipients. I also worked par t t imemanaging Bed & Breakfast HomestaysHong Kong. In 1991 I bought thebusiness. That same year Bill Boyddecided to leave College Counseling andI was hired as his replacement. The restis history.

Carol Eichert is off to Florida

Tell us about your family. Our family has grown over the years wehave been at HKIS. When we came wehad 5 children, 3 were mine and 2 wereLarry’s, but they were all grown up andliving in the states. They are now allmarried and we have been blessed with12 grandchildren and 2 more who camealong with the marriages.

When we first came to HK we had onlythe twins who this year will graduate fromUniversity of Notre Dame and ValparaisoUniversity and are now 21. The tenothers are nine years old and under. Wehope to be able to spend more time withthem in the coming years.

How has HKIS changed? Howhave you grown at HKIS ?HKIS has changed a lot since I workedwith the Dedication in 1989. TheCommon has become classrooms andthe cafeteria is now a faculty lounge andbookstore, and the physical changes goon. The sizes of the classes haveincreased. In 1992 I had 114 seniors. In2003 we had 197. The faculty also hasgrown. It used to be more like a “family”where you knew many people even fromthe other campus. Then we had 59 onthe HS faculty, last year there were 84.The total enrollment was 1950 back then,now it is 2576. I thank HKIS for the manyopportunities I have had for personalgrowth dur ing my years here whilstattending professional conferences,through my memberships in professionalorganizations - NACAC and OACAC, thedaily associations with wonderfulcolleagues, the faculty and staff and thejoy of living in Hong Kong for 17 years.Money cannot buy these experiences.We have become truly rich, even thoughwe may not be wealthy.


then ...

Carol at the pyramids


What changes have you seen atHKIS since the early days? Whatfeature about HKIS would youlike to see endure in the future?Much of that I ’ve said in my answerabove. In addit ion I would say thecomplexion of the student body hasbecome more Asian and the faculty hasbecome more diverse. I would hope forthe future that HKIS stays true to itsmission statement and that it never losesbeing American – that’s what made usdifferent over the years and I hope it willstay that way. There are manyinternational schools, from many othercountries, but we were the first Americanschool and I would l ike to see HKISremain “1st”! Maybe Thanksgiving Daycould be a school holiday again, as itused to be.

What do you predict for thefuture of HKIS?May HKIS celebrate as many successesin the future as it has in the past. With anew head of school who has strongAmerican roots, I expect there may besome changes at HKIS and I know hehas the wisdom to make them positiveones.

Are you in touch with anyalumni? What value do they havein the present and the future ofHKIS? Many alumni come to visit every year.Some who are working in Hong Konghave represented their alma mater for meat the Alumni College and Career Fairs.Others have been speakers for theTransit ions classes. The AlumniAssociation has promoted other activitiesto keep the grads in touch with their HKISties. May all that continue.

What is most important to you?My faith, my husband, my children andgrandchildren, my friends and my healthare all important to me.

We can’t imagine you reallyretiring, so what’s the nextchapter for the Eicherts?We’re off to Florida, first to settle in to ournew home and then to decide what wewant to do in our spare time. We havethought of several possibilities, part timework in education, private counseling,volunteer ing in the community and

leading tour groups back to the Far East.Those are some of our ideas. I’m sureothers wil l surface too. I am lookingforward to spending a lot of time in ourpool. It wil l also be fun to visit ourchildren and grandchildren since they wil l be much closer. We want to give a warm welcome to any of you who choose to visit us – we wil l be at 8807 Stone Harbour Loop,Bradenton, FL 34212, just south of Tampa and near Sarasota. Our e-mails wil l be ceicher [email protected] and le icher t@gmai l . com andtogether we can be reached atcaro land lar r ye icher [email protected] We’ll answer all of you! Do stay in touch.

Homecoming brings back Young Graduates

Sue was at HKIS from 1981-1984 fromthe ages of 15-18 when she left for NovaScotia to pursue a Bachelor of Fine Artsdegree. Her brother James ’85 also wentto HKIS.

She has lived in London, Canada, Korea,Thailand and Hong Kong doing paintingcommissions, exhibitions, teaching artand meditating. Through her gift as apsychic, she has ‘cleared’ several spacesworldwide, done thousands of readings,has been interviewed on radio, innewspapers, magazines and recentlyappeared on Lonely Planet 6 degreesHong Kong on Discovery Travel andLeisure channel. She is now aprofessional animal communicatorhelping animals in Hong Kong andThailand.

Sue: Do you have a pet?

Reena: Yes, a cat Arius.

Sue: He’s 11 years old.

Reena: Actually, he’s 9 years old, wait aminute…1994…2005… yes,you’re right Susan, he’s 11!

From there on it was hard to end theconversation with soft-spoken Susan…

What’s your background as apsychic? I was trained in healing in Hong Kong,Nepal, Thailand and Canada. Mygrandmother was a natural healer whoalso trained me and constantly remindedme to practice and play with my abilities.As a child, I could talk to animals andseemed to ‘know’ if something was going

to happen. I could find lost things, seespir its and ghosts. One of my spir itguides was always with me; my familyalways humored me by calling him myimaginary friend.

What’s a ghost as opposed to aspirit? A ghost is a spirit who is between twoplaces-earth and where it is supposed togo next-whereas a spirit is a being whocomes to visit from that place. Oftenghosts don’t even realize that they aredead.

Do you cleanse places? In otherwords aren’t you also a ghostbuster? (Sue doesn’t l ike the word ‘ghost buster’) Yes, I‚ve done ghost ‘removals’worldwide. In Canada, there was anowner of a Physiotherapy clinic whowanted to ‘clear’ his building. Hisemployees had experienced windowsdropping, lights and machines going onand off and equipment moving about.Often when a ghost is present, oneexperiences a noticeable drop intemperature, as well as a feeling similarto walking through a cobweb and hourslater sti l l feeling all ‘creeped’ out.Everyone had experienced this exceptthe owner who wasn’t entirely convincedhe had a ghost. One Sunday the cleanercame in and got so frightened that hecalled the owner from the parking lot,refusing to go back into the building. Theowner realized it could be affecting hisbusiness and hired me immediately.

When I entered the building with a teamof people, it felt really ‘heavy and dense.’To ‘cleanse’ a building one uses symbolsand infuses it with balanced, harmoniousenergy. It can take three to four hours,

and afterwards you can feel that it’s notas dense but much lighter. It was great tofeel that the employees were once againcomfortable in their workspace as well assatisfying to have helped release theghost. I was taught that it is a stage ofgrowth and transformation for the spirit tomove to the next stage of its existence.

How did you come tocommunicate with animals? Tell us about your experiences inHong Kong. I have been able to communicate withanimals since childhood. All children canactually; one just tends to forget whenfaced with the skepticism of adulthood.One enjoyable part of my job is to remindanimal owners that they alreadycommunicate with their pets and how todo so more clearly and easily.

In 2002, I was looking for a teaching job,here in Hong Kong. I was walking on thebeach in Lamma when a dog namedPatches came up to me and said, “Youcan talk to me can’t you? You’ve GOT totell my owner something for me…”

Being able to communicate with animalsstill meets with some skepticism, so I wasa bit hesitant in relaying the message, asI live on Lamma I wanted to remain as‘normal’ as possible.


Talking with Animal Communicator Susan Burnett ’84


Patches wasn’t having any of it. “I AMSOOOOO ITCHY !” He said and quicklysent me his experience throughout mybody. I was literally insanely itchy fromhead to toe, it was awful, I had to tell hisowner.

“Tell him to stop using the greenshampoo.” He said.

I finally got around to telling his ownerthat I talk to animals and he denied usingany green shampoo. I was a bit upsetwith Patches for blowing my cover.

Then, weeks later I found out that theowner’s helper was using greendishwashing liquid on the dog every timehe went to the beach which was 4 times aday. The fact that it was green made theguy into a total believer. They stoppedusing it and now Patches is okay. Theyintroduced me to other people and that’show I got star ted here in HK. I neverthought I’d be doing this for a living.

Have you ever spoken with HongKong race horses - you couldmake a fortune...I have worked with race horses here inHong Kong. To be able to work with themand communicate clear ly, I had topromise them that I would refrain frombetting, as it would be unethical.

I was very lucky to get into the paddockarea at the races and say hello to thehorses as they went by. The well trainedhorses would say “Please don’t distractme, I’m focusing on my job” and others,

The Annual Fund this year was such aresounding success in no small par tbecause of our Alumni volunteersserving on the Annual Fund Cabinet andBall Committee. This is the first timewe’ve had four alums serving on thecommittee, it is also the first time thatwe’ve had so many alumni tables at theball.

HKIS is indebted to you all. Many thanks!

Alumni Power!

cultures that it helped me with mycommunication skills. It made me realizethat there are many different perspectivesand gave me a very global view of theworld at an ear ly age. I got a lot ofconfidence going to HKIS and liked thatall the different nationalities got alongreally well. I l iked how we could beindividuals. I’m sure that the amazing artclasses and studio at HKIS was thereason I went to Art College.

In the last year, I’ve been in email contactwith Ann Mulligan ’84. I hadn’t spoken toher since graduation; she found my nameon the HKIS website so I’m very gratefulfor it.

Sue is currently in Chiang Mai, Thailand,doing research for a television series forDiscovery channel on communicationwith elephants. To contact her pleaseemail her at [email protected]

less well trained would say “What am Idoing here?” They had no clue what theywere doing. I’d tell them, “Pass a fewhorses sweetie, run fast and pass a few”.

Do you communicate in words orpictures?I often get a quick flash of a picture.Once, I was waiting for a client, who wentto the restroom and I started to speakwith his dog about his favorite food. Hesaid “I LOVE pencils!” I doubted what I had received and asked him to send methe message again. He sent me a pictureof a dog bowl overflowing with pencils.We stopped talking, as I couldn’t believea dog would love pencils. When we got tomy client’s apartment, I noticed that everysingle wooden object had been gnaweddown. When I asked about his furniture,he said his dog was responsible for it andthat if I even dropped a pencil the dogwould eat it within seconds!

What memories do you have ofHKIS? HKIS was great because there were so many different nationalit ies and


On graduatingfrom HKIS,Nand Harjani

went on to PepperdineUniversity (Malibu,C a l i f o r n i a ) t os t u d y B u s i n e s sAdministration and

Management. He later went on to obtainan Advanced Business Degree.

However, his academic backgroundwould not lead him naturally into hisfuture career path. Nand is a Master ofEnergy. What’s that?

“Someone who is very adapt, capable,and well versed in working with theUniversal Energies (Prana/Chi) in “fixing”real psychical conditions which affectpeople,” explains Nand.

In today’s phonetic world, millions ofpeople are turning to the likes of Nand torealize the benefits of harnessing naturalenergy. Many find it helps them tomaintain good health and stay young.Others f ind that it ’s just the tonic toreduce their stress levels and takecontrol of their lives. Athletes visit Nandto improve their sports performance.Some even attr ibute amassing theirfortunes to emerging practice of energyharnessing.

Little wonder then that Nand, one of theprincipals and founders of Creative LifeSciences (CLS), is doing so well. Hiscompany is fast becoming a leader in theblossoming “psychic industry”. The

company distinguishes itself in offeringintuitive sessions for individuals andbusiness enterprises in energy balancing(energy medicine), among other things.

Headquartered in Southern California,CSL has expanded rapidly. Today it hasbranches in Long Beach, Beverly Hills,Arcadia, Palm Springs, San Diego, San Francisco, Walnut Creek, andSacramento. The company has alsoexpanded into Asia, setting up offices inHong Kong and Taipei.

“Our goal is to add more locations both inthe U.S. and elsewhere.”

As you might expect, with offices dottedthroughout California, CSL attracts someof States rich and famous. Though Nand,the soul of discretion, declines tonamedrop. “What I will say is that all ofour cl ients are unique and special,famous or not”

Nand has been attracting a fair amount ofmedia attention himself, appearing onnumerous television shows. He’s alsobeen involved in energy medicineexperiments with the University ofCalifornia. And he was invited by theCalifornia Community College (College ofthe Desert) to teach meditation.

Nand still harbors fond memories of histime at HKIS.

“HKIS taught me that it’s OK to go aftermy dreams and anything is possible.”This self-belief and confidence, he says,underpins his success in his chosen field.

Being a psychic is more of a calling thana profession: “It’s my life, and my work.”

Nand says anyone considering enteringhis field should first examine the reasonswhy they want to be a psychic. “Theirintent is most important,” he says. “Forme it’s humbling to go with my heart andto do what I love.”

Asked about his most treasuredmemories of HKIS, and who was hisfavor ite teacher, Nand pauses andsmiles. “Now that’s a trick question…letme see. My memories are too numerousto mention them all…

“I had about 76 students graduating in myclass,” he says, pausing to think, “and Iwas one of the few that actually went thefour years of high school at HKIS. That’sone memory.

“Then I have fond memories of thesporting facilities and opportunities inmusic and extra curricular activities. Butmost of al l my memories are of thepeople.

“The teachers are great at HKIS. It’sdifficult to single one out as ‘the favorite’because there are so many. Names thatcome immediately to mind include Bob Christian, Earl Westrick, PaulCarlton, David Kohl, Manual Koo, Mrs. Anderson, Mrs. Johnson, DavidMeyers and Art Himmler.” he concludes.

Miltinnie Yih, former developmentdirector at HKIS, kindlyorganized a reunion dinner for

15 on February 15, 2005 at East OceanCity Restaurant, Chinatown, Boston.Bruce Kelsh, UP principal and HKISalumni supporter remarked “Boston had‘balmy’ weather for the HKIS gathering atthe restaurant in China Town. Recentgrads (Class of 2004) joined those goingback to class 1989 to renew friendshipsand share stories”.

Ingrid Chen ’04, one of the attendeessaid, “It’s so surreal to see all HKISerssitting at a table in Boston’s Chinatown. I felt l ike I was back in the HKIS cafeteria, except for the fortune cookiepart. Boston University’s great, I love allthe professors here (there are actuallyprofessors older than Mr. Eichert!), but HKIS will always be my first love.”

Mi Kyung Kim ’04, also at dinner, saidshe sees other alums at least a couple oft imes a month, since Boston is arelatively small city. I like Boston and I’mhaving a great time here, but nothingcompares to Hong Kong.”

Erica Fung ’98 said, “I am now in mysecond year at Harvard Law School. It isreally nice to catch up with everyone atthe dinner - especially my sister’sclassmates (Veronica Fung ’04).”

“Thanks Reena and Milt innie fororganizing this. Sam and Erik – good to

see that ’89 is represented. And, yes,Abby Darby ’04, HKIS and Harvardreally did each raise $250,000 fortsunami relief. Thanks everyone forcoming! Great Chinese food!”, said headof school Jim Handrich.

Alumni enjoy a Dinner in Boston

It was a Happy Hour event on February17, 2005 and the conversation went likethis, Spencer Chiu ’93: (He was HKIS’Alumni Coordinator before I was hired in2000) So how many alumni are in contactwith HKIS now?

Reena K: We get 2 – 7 updates from thewebsite every day.

Spencer: From the online update form?

Reena: Yes alumni find the HKIS site andlook to see if they are on the onlinedirectory. If they don’t find themselvesthen they update their information online.At the rate we lose alumni through moves,

we gain them through the website updateform. Whomever thought to put that up inthe 90s had tremendous foresight andHKIS owes them for this blessing. Doyou know who came up with the onlineupdate form, Spencer?

Spencer: (smiling coyly as he turned pink)

Reena: No! It was You? I’m so happy to be telling you this!

Spencer: It was Miltinnie and me, yes!

Everyone joined in as we celebratedSpencer’s contribution to his alma mater.Bill Stork was there as were class of

2000 stalwarts in ties – Edward Tsui,Charles Wan and Jaime Chou. DougHong ’90, Rohini Balani Chotirmal ’89and Ingrid Wong ’92 attended, as didDaniela Che ’01 who left early as herbeautiful canine was not welcomed in therestaurant as much as we had hoped.The next HK area happy hour isscheduled for September 2005.

San Francisco Reunion leads the way for the 40 Year Reunion

One hundred and fifty HKIS “survivors”assembled in San Francisco over theJuly 4 weekend, 2004, for a four dayextravaganza reunion. Headquartered atthe Cathedral Hill Hotel, cour tesy ofChris Myers ’76, 87 actual alumni andtheir families gathered on Friday eveningfor a gala reception. A chineseinstrumental group provided by CarolLei ’71 added background atmosphereto cocktails and nibblies.

Lots of t ime disappeared as fr iendsrecognized each other and thenintroduced their spouses or families.Plans were made for the next day andseveral groups went out after the officialreception ended.

Saturday morning saw a group going tothe San Francisco Asian Art Museumwith Dave Kohl (ar t faculty ’73-80)where our guide turned out to be anHKIS mom from the early 70s, (GloriaLannon). Another group took a ChinaTown walk with Andrew Grzeskowiak(english faculty 77-79). Both groups metup with the class of ’84 at - go figure -Dim Sum at the Four Seas Restaurant.Fourteen tables with 10 at each table,surrounded by gaudy red walls, dancingdragons, and various Chinese landscapescenes. 47 alumni then dashed up toSausolito to board the HawaiinaPrincess, a sailing ship which took usaround the bay and under the GoldenGate Bridge...arranged by Dan Byrne’77. Different groups later gathered forimpromptu dinning in the evening,several of which were in Fisherman’sWharf.

Sunday morning opened with devotionsat the hotel. Kevin Kwok ’79 hosted a

wonderful catered picnic at China Beachnear his home in Sea Cliffe. Perfectweather and a clear view of the adjacentGolden Gate Bridge made the eventeven more memorable. Capping theweekend was the Sunday eveningbanquet at the Hotel. Alumni werepresent from the earliest class (KarenCheeney, ’69), although the majority ofalumni were from classes of the ’70s and’80s. Bob Christian regailed us withtales of the founding “adventure” andlittle known events throughout his yearsof dealing with the Hong KongGovernment, the Cultural Revolution,var ious US Consulate events, theAmerican Fortnight, and events relatedto the Vietnam War.

Vows were made to do all that we can tomake the 2007 40-year reunion the bestpossible reunion. Pledges to invite longlost classmates and to bring our ownchildren back to the “scene of the crime”ended a most remarkable weekend.

Dear Classmates

Remember when you knew all thewords to “American Pie”?

When Wednesdays meant “Serendipity”?

When you had to ask, “Is it A-day or E-day?”

When Mrs. Kwok (the THIRD 9th gradeEnglish teacher that we drove off) told usthat if we didn’t want to be there, we couldleave. And the whole class did (led byMike McCoy)?

It’s time to throw on a pair of jeans (or tug, grunt and wriggle into one), dust offthe old yearbook and try to figure outwhich long haired boy turned into thatbalding man across the room.

It’s been 29 years since graduation.We’ve had several reunions along theway, but you pretty much had to be incontact with one of the organizers to beincluded. Now, thanks to Al Goreinventing the internet, we should be ableto reach a lot more people.

Our 30-year anniversary is coming up,and I’m going to start the ball rolling. I need to know if there is any interest inhaving a reunion. Right now there is nodate, place or agenda. I just want to findout if there is interest. If I get 10 or 15positive responses, we’l l run with it.(David Knisely, I know you are out therelurking. You are in this with me!!)

She writes: I wrote my(college) thesis on sex role stereotypesand now after having 2 boys, I’ve decidedthat people who believe genderdifferences are only due to socializationwere people like me before they hadboys. The first words out of Wesley’smouth when he was a year old were “dirt,truck, hub cap.” It’s hard-wired. It’s alsohard-wired for boys to be little destructo-matics.

Michael Taylor: By the time thisissue of DragonTales hits thenewsstands, our plans for a 20-yearreunion in San Francisco on theweekend of September 16-18, 2005,will be in full swing. Valerie Hinsley(Smith) has done an unbelievablejob getting this project off theground. A small group of ’85 alumniconsisting of Valerie, David Jones,Lanchi Venator, Lori Delahunty andmyself are organizing the event andwe’re trying to get the word out. If this is the first you’ve heard aboutit, please check the website,www.hkismyreunion.com, for moredetails. You can also give me a call(647-290-6251) or drop me a line [email protected] plan is to gather informally as peoplearr ive on Fr iday evening (Sept. 16).Saturday wil l be open for people to spend the day exploring the city andsurrounding area (Chinatown, TheWharf, streetcars, Ghirardelli Square,etc.), or to do whatever they might like.The official reunion “event” will be onSaturday evening (Sept. 17) and will be acombination of planned shenanigans,retro music, memory shar ing, food,l ibations and, perhaps, even a

spontaneous jam session with whoever isin the mood (there are certainly enoughmusicians in the class!). More plans willhave been finalized by the time this ispublished, so please visit the reunionwebsite at www.hkismyreunion.com, for full details about the event.It’s been a blast hearing from so manyfriends over the past few months, as thenews about the reunion spreads. Toname but a few, we’ve heard from DevonWilliams, Mark Lutz, Peggy O’Sullivan,Anne-Marie Bauman, Brian Boggess,Christine Madden, John Tan, RobPaterson, Jayce Henderson, ChrisSinfield, Tara Costello, Jeff Sneddon,Fiona Ekander, Stephanie Baum,Vanessa MacDonald and a whole hostof others. For many of us, i t has been 20 years since we’ve spoken, and reconnecting has been quiteextraordinary. Geographically speaking,our paths have taken us in diversedirections all over the world. Many of us,like Wendy Hsu and Ronen Zion, live inHong Kong, and are still actively involvedin HKIS life. A whole slew of us live ineither Canada or the U.S., and the restare scattered around the world. B. Burnett is in London, Mike Medina isin Hawaii, and Chad Forrest is in Shanghai. Professionally, we aremusicians, actors, bankers, lawyers,bottlers, doctors, jewelers, wr iters,retailers, freight forwarders... and the list goes on.Please help us get the word out if you happen to know of or can get in touchwith any alumni who may not have heardabout the event in San Francisco. If youare not sure whether or not you’ll beattending, I ask that you please consider joining us. It promises to be alaid-back weekend in a world-class city, inthe company of some very special, oldfriends. Hope to see you there!

Wendy Hsu: It ’s hard to believe 20 years have passed! I moved back toHong Kong in 1993 and was here towitness Hong Kong’s Handover in 1997.Has it changed much since then? Mostdefinitely! It’s been a rollercoaster ride forHK... the economic crisis of 1998 andSARS in 2003. But 2005 has broughtHUGE changes. The ‘feelgood’ factor isback, business is booming, tourists are

back, and the proper ty market has re-bounded with a vengeance. Everyonehas their eye on China, and Hong Kong is an integral part of that equation. I’m with Tiffany and Co. (you know whatthey say, diamonds are a girls best friend)and still in love with HK. Many of the oldplaces are not around, the ‘Shack’ wasknocked down years ago. People havemoved on (I hear Joe from the candy-vanat the bottom of the HKIS hill emigratedto New Zealand years ago, and started a booming business growing flowers) An urban myth perhaps? But, the energy is STILL HERE! I’ve recently reconnected with manyalumns as I’m Chairing the HKIS AnnualFund Ball 2005 (at the InterContinentalHotel.. or known as the Regent Hotel in1985) to raise dollars for the School. It’s ahuge challenge, as last year the Ballraised US$600,000. Donations arealways welcome! Looking forward toreconnecting with everyone.

Grace Soon (GEE)Ajemian: Hi to all, I’vebeen enjoying all theupdates and walksdown memory lane asour 20 year reunion isbeing planned, andam glad to reconnect

with some of you. The reunion website isgreat, thanks for everyone’s effor tstoward that. I have been moving aroundthroughout Canada and the US since Ileft HK, and even though I considermyself a west coaster, I ’ve been inPennsylvania for a year now. I have been marr ied for 9 years and we’veenjoyed a lot of travel and adventuretogether in that time, though I haven’tmade it back to HK since I left. I hopesoon to - it currently lives in my memoryas it was in 1985 when I graduated!These days I spend my time working inmy studio on sculpture (mixed media)and completed a Master’s degree inConsciousness Studies last fall. My email is [email protected] for anyonewho would like to get in touch again. I’mglad we’re having a reunion, and I amlooking forward to reconnecting with oldfriends after all this time.


Lanchi Venator: My husband, BrianKlingborg, and I have been in New Yorksince 1997 - hard to believe. I would saythat we are officially New Yorkers and areliving the typical New York life. Brianworks as a General Manager for theNorth American office of a Japanesechildren’s educational book publisher,Kumon Publishing North America. Atnight, he doubles as a writer. Recently,he wrote a couple of episodes of WinxClub (on daytime Fox). It is a cartoonseries featuring girls with superpowers -which is good because we have 2 girls(see below for more details). The seriesis already in progress. His shows will beaired this Spring. So watch Fox and buyKumon books for your kids!As for me, I just left 5 tough years as amanagement consultant with A.T.Kearney. I did the whole thing, travel,long hours, cried at work, questioned myability to have it all - a family and a career.As of January 2005, I joined AmericanExpress to get off the roller coaster andto seek better work / life balance. thecommute is amazing - 20 minutes door todoor. No airports, train stations or carrental places to contend with. It has beenan adjustment, but a good one for thefamily. And the answer for me is, I can’thave it all, but I can have what is mostimportant to me.What is most important to me now, asidefrom my husband, are my 2 made in NewYork girls, Sophie (4.5 years) and Sylvie (2 years). They may not know what it islike to have grass under their feet, butthey know the difference between anexpress and a local train and how to haveeverything you need delivered right toyour door!

Leah BOGGS Goslen: My husband Tedand I thank God for our beautiful sonThaddeus Palani Voggs Goslen, bornJune 3, 2004. So, probably by the timeyou read this, we’ll have celebrated his 1 year birthday. Also in 2005 we celebrateour 11th year wedding anniversary.I’m still in the East Bay Area of Californiaworking par t t ime in music ministry as well as a full time Mama now. Doesanyone know the whereabouts of Sandra Mills ’86? Please check out mywebsite at www.Flightunes.com

Erin Barrett: I’ve known Devra GraceLangford since she was three and I was four. It’s not like we’ve ever been completelyout of touch. If I ever needed her, I knew I could make a phone call or two andtrack her down. And over the years, that’sexactly what we did from time to time. I knew, for instance, when she adoptedSimon — her Jack Russell. She phonedduring her process of leaving the world oforgan transplant nursing for something alitt le less emotionally draining. Iremember being in awe of her as shespoke of quick air dashes across countrywith life-saving organs on ice. Today, herl i fe is equally foreign to me as she’sconstantly on the go, leading workshopsand conventions and making sales toemergency room physicians and nurses.

She also knew about my marriage, thebir th of my 2 children, Georgia andJackson, and my difficult divorce. Sheknew about Jack, my new husband and

Lanchi’s daughters Sophie and Sylvie

writing partner when he came into my life,as well. But beyond talking every year orso, we really hadn’t been in each other’slives since high school, which made thelast year that much more extraordinaryfor both of us.Sometime in March of 2004, Devradecided to fly out from Dallas to visit mehere in the SF Bay area. We clicked like itwas 1984, and had the most wonderfultime. So good, in fact, I flew to see her inMay of the same year. She’s been outhere twice more since then — once forthe all-school HKIS reunion in the city(Summer 2004); once last fal l . Herbrother Paul ’84 and his wife Jenniferalso came out for the 2004 reunion. It wasgreat to catch up with him after so manyyears, and wonderful to meet her for the first time.Now it seems Devra and I are two peas ina pod, not unlike the good old days backin Hong Kong. We email on a constantbasis, talk every few weeks over thephone, and are planning trips to visit inperson in the coming months. I’ve beenamazed at the sense of being with familythat I have when I’m with Devra. You canhave wonderful friends in your life, butthere’s something really unique that weshare with others who’ve experiencedgrowing up in Hong Kong. It’s been agreat coming home for me to have her inmy life again.

Julianne (Coleman) Kemp: How tosummarize the last 20 years?

Nevertheless, I love theCity: every passerby can be a bestfriend. Boston University’s great, amloving every professor here (there areprofessors who are actually older thanMr. Eichert!), but HKIS will always bemy first love.
