Lee Terrill left <strong>Hong</strong> <strong>Kong</strong> in the summer <strong>of</strong> 1978 and his<br />
family moved to Jacksonville Florida. <strong>The</strong>y then moved to Warren<br />
Township in New Jersey where he completed high school. Lee<br />
then went to the University <strong>of</strong> Hartford, and finally attended DeVry<br />
Technical Institute and received his Technician’s Certificate.<br />
After some time in Japan and Korea, Lee moved to Rockville, MD<br />
for a new job and ended up back in Korea and Japan again. Lee is<br />
now based in Japan and has been traveling to Korea and Taiwan for<br />
his new job. Lee married Kiyomi six years ago and they are enjoying<br />
their life together, although he travels so much that he doesn’t get to<br />
see her enough.<br />
Greg Wilcox is on our radar<br />
screen again. He left <strong>Hong</strong><br />
<strong>Kong</strong> in 1981 and moved to<br />
Arizona. He is now living in<br />
Weatherford, Texas, 25 miles<br />
west <strong>of</strong> Fort Worth and works<br />
as an aerospace engineer for<br />
Lockheed Martin. He has four<br />
children – two boys and two<br />
girls – ages 18, 16, 12, and<br />

Ann Huse (annhuse@yahoo.com): I feel gratified to have attended <strong>HKIS</strong>:<br />
the students were so much more mature and openminded than those I<br />
met in college. I’d love to hear from other <strong>HKIS</strong> people out there so we<br />
can have dim sum in New York!<br />
John Nolan (jndrive@yahoo.com): I am a Sports/outdoors journalist, and<br />
married to Laura, a 1999 graduate <strong>of</strong> the University <strong>of</strong> Wisconsin. We<br />
have a 2-year-old son, Andrew. I fondly recall my three years at <strong>HKIS</strong><br />
-- some <strong>of</strong> the best times <strong>of</strong> my life. My brother Bob (or Robert) left<br />
in 10th grade and would have been in the class <strong>of</strong> ‘81. I was sick when<br />
my family moved back to the states. I would love to hear from anyone<br />
who remembers me.<br />

Anita LAU-McElvane (a_mcelvane@hotmail.com) : We moved to Hawaii<br />
on the 31st December, 2005 just in time to ring in the new year<br />
Hawaii style. It’s been quite difficult adjusting to life on the islands<br />
after living in the Bay Area for the last seven years. Even though we<br />
are technically still living in America, most days I feel as if I’m living<br />
in Asia!! During the second week <strong>of</strong> our arrival, I caught up with<br />
Kaori Matsumoto who moved here a little less than a year ago. It<br />
was nice seeing her after 22 years, though she claims she saw me in<br />
<strong>Hong</strong> <strong>Kong</strong> about ten years ago<br />
(I don’t recall her visit)!!<br />
If anyone is planning to visit<br />
the Honolulu area, make sure to<br />
look us up! We can be reached<br />
via email or anyone can reach<br />
me via cell phone (650) 996-<br />
7300. It would be lovely to see<br />
Anita (left) and Kaori (right)<br />
some familiar faces!!<br />
Virginia Todd: <strong>The</strong> company that I have been working for, MBNA<br />
America Bank, has just been acquired by Bank <strong>of</strong> America. As a result,<br />
job security has been a concern. I bought my own house in April 2005.<br />
My little dog ToTo and I are very comfortable here. I’m still doing a<br />
lot <strong>of</strong> dancing; I’ll be participating in my third ballroom competition in<br />
Baltimore in June <strong>of</strong> <strong>2006</strong>. Wish me luck!<br />

Christi Riversocorro (srcmanla@yahoo.com) :Wow! 20 years already?!<br />
I CAN’T believe it! Didn’t we just graduate last summer?...Anyway,<br />
I’m sure the reunion was a blast! As for moi, I’ve been married for ten<br />
years now and have two very active boys; Jon-jon (nine years old) and<br />
Sam (three years old below). After produating from college, I travelled<br />
a bit then moved back to HK for work. Three years ago, we left it all<br />
for the Philippines and currently live in Manila. Its a drastic change...<br />
the lifestyle, food, culture, but hey, who’s complaining?!! Standard <strong>of</strong><br />
living here is relatively cheaper than <strong>Hong</strong> <strong>Kong</strong>!<br />
My two boys keep me busy so I am a work-at-home mom for a realty<br />
company. Soon, I hope, to open a children’s play center with tutorial<br />
services for preschoolers...provided a financial partner comes along...<br />
he..he!<br />
