Dear George,

     Au Hang was a very nice man, a real gentleman. He moved with most of his family from Hong Kong to the Toronto area,
a few years before HK was 'returned' to the PRC (New Territories were validly returned; Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula were ceded in Perpetuity to the English Crown, and should have stayed 'English').

    His son, Albert Au and Albert's wife Esther, are good friends  still living in Toronto and loyal members of the ICSBS.
I forgot to mention that all are or were (in the case of Elder Au, of blessed memory) devout Christians, and at least partially, moved to ensure their rights to believe and worship as they chose.

Best,
Joey
