OVERSEAS BAG
FRANCE
IAN CONNELL (R68-73) proposed that ANDY MCCONNELL (R6671) be added to lists of distinguished OFs. He is probably one of
the worlds most celebrated glass experts and of course the resident
glass expert on the Antiques Roadshow. I was happy to add him
with assistance from Andy. Ian himself has promised an update for
a future Overseas Bag.
some common friends. They tried several times to meet in London
as they literally live less than 10 mins from each other but eventually
ended up meeting in Hong Kong! He has also just got back in
touch with his brother ANDREW (G78-81) as well!
GERALD HENDRIE (K49-52) was pleased that we forwarded
onto him an enquiry we had received from non-OF Andrea
Albertin. Gerald told us that Andrea was an Italian conductor and
keyboardist and thanks to us emailing him he had now been in
correspondence during the last couple of days.
(S40-46) was interested to see that CMDR JOHN
(K32-36) had celebrated his 100th birthday. Brian
followed John as SOF President in 1975 and was then followed by
John Edwards. He was sorry he couldn’t make the occasion.
BRIAN ROSEN
SIMPSON
He said the most important event of 2018 for him was the 90th
birthday celebration of his brother MICHAEL (S40-45) which was
held at the British Racing Drivers’ Clubhouse at Silverstone. Family
attended from all over the world and Michael was also reunited with
two cars that he built and raced over 60 years ago.
ROBERT KOS (G76-82) contacted us with an email address as a
result of a letter about changes to the Framlinghamian in the future.
GERMANY
We very much look forward to hearing from KIM DICKEL (M97-98)
about a 2020 reunion in Germany.
(M00-01) advised at the start of 2019 that
she had moved from Petersberg, Germany to Stuttgart, Germany.
She was working for Daimler in Sindelfingen and that’s why she has
moved to Stuttgart.

David Copeman with wife Ann and Moira Theulier
MOIRA THEULIER (M91-93) took over the organization of
the annual HK Supper and managed to get excellent numbers
attending, including UK visitors DAVID COPEMAN (K42-49) and
his wife Ann. Moira was excellent at meeting them at the cruise
terminal and showing them around HK, which they were very
grateful for. She then returned them to the ship before they came
back into HK for the dinner, which was timed for their arrival in HK.
Moira’s report on the HK Supper can be read elsewhere in the
magazine or on the website.

(S65-70) at the age of 64 on 14th January 2019. John was

John was a misfit who hated Fram but would have hated any other
school just the same.

new one as Engineering Manager of a refinery in Madagascar. He
was wondering if there are any OFs in the vicinity. Sadly there are
no others in Madagascar.

out. It was a pure coincidence that they were reconnected through
