OVERSEAS BAG
THAILAND
TERRY CHINTAGANOND (R93-98) was in touch in April 2019
with a new email address. I put him in touch with MICHAEL
REGAN (M77-79) who will be pleased to have another OF on
email in Thailand. Terry recalled that his housemates at Fram were
EDWARD PLUMBLY (R93-98), OLIVER HILL (R93-98), HARRY
MITCHELL (R90-98), MIKE COKER (R90-98) etc... He graduated
from Oxford Brookes with BSc Business Administration & Computing
with honours and then post graduated from Royal Holloway
University of London with MSc Business Information System with
honours. He occasionally communicates with GARETH MORRIS
(K90-98) (in China).
USA
JULES ARTHUR (K75-84) has been active on Facebook throughout
the year travelling all over the world.
GRAHAM BELCHER (R55-62) responded to my Christmas message
to all OFs overseas saying that he wanted to arrange an OF dinner
for any OFs who may live in or near New York City. There are 20
in the broad area of NY and surrounding states but we only have
email addresses for 11. Fingers crossed he will try some time to
organise something.
ANDY BEVAN (K93-98) has moved up to Washington DC and
should be there for a couple of years. He was also interested in
whether any OFs were in the area. His move to Washington was
prompted by getting married last year and his wife is a Lieutenant
Colonel in the National Guard (active duty) and has been deployed
to DC for 2 years to work at National Guard HQ. MICHAEL
BL AKE (K72-76) lives nearby in Falls Church, Virginia.
DESMOND BISHOP
(R72-77) thanked me for the Christmas
message 2018.
ROSIE BULLEN (M06-11) as you will read elsewhere in the
magazine is currently in her second year at the prestigious
Manhattan School of Music in New York and the SOF have in a
small way helped her financially to be able to study there. In July
2019 she happened to be in London at the time of the OF London
Supper and came along and sang for us.
(59-64) responded to the 2019 Annual Dinner
invite saying he would love to attend a SOF Annual Dinner in the
future. At present he divides his time between Seattle in Washington
State, and Le Marche, Italy.
ANTHONY COWAN
BRYAN IVORY (K48-52) responded to my Christmas message
with greetings from across the pond. He was looking forward to
receiving his magazine in the new year.
PETER MACFARL ANE (Z73-81) in 2018 completed an epic
canoeing adventure and in 2019 he embarked on giving some
slideshow presentations in Vermont and New Hampshire.
Alfred Molson in 2014 at Houston railway station
phone calls to OB Editors. It was therefore with much sadness that I
received news from his son Alan that Alfred had passed away on 31
March 2019 at his home in Houston, Texas, USA. Alfred was born
on 26 February 1926 and died at the age of 93.
I only met Alfred once, despite tens of phone calls over the years,
and this was in 2014 on Houston Railway Station when our train
stopped there briefly. Alfred wasn’t keen on this photograph but it
seems appropriate to now include.
BRYAN PEARSON (S45-47) in early 2019 was in touch to say that
the little restaurant he took Eryl and me to when we visited Hawaii
in October 2018, was on the verge of losing their lease and having
to close after nearly 60 years. However, the lease was renewed and
restaurant saved. He and Celestine were due to come over to the
UK in September but sadly Bryan decided subsequently that the trip
over to the UK was too much. As you will have read earlier they
had hoped to take JOHN & RUTH GATES (S44-48) around Hawaii
when they docked there but John wasn’t well enough.
FRANK RAHMAN (S81-83) got in touch in September 2019 via
email having previously been out of touch with the SOF/College.
He was interested in getting involved with OFs in the New York/New
Jersey area. He did his Undergraduate Studies in Boston University
USA and got an MBA at Babson College. He has worked on Wall
Street for 14 years.
ANDY ROBERTS (G73-79) had been in touch with KIRK ADAMS
(S70-80) and ANDREW STROUD (M70-80). Andy was now a
grandfather twice over.
RICHARD ROWE (S65-74) has continued traveling around the
world on business and sent a schedule of the countries he was
planning to visit each month during 2019. While in Israel he was
sad to hear of the death of Hon OF Ruby Graham saying she was a
wonderful and kind-hearted lady and provided the occasional glass
of sherry before dinner in her room.
IAN SEELEY (S58-65) is included for the last time and he is usually
the very last entry in each Overseas Bag, but funnily enough not this
time. In February 2019 he notified us that he had moved back to
Devon in the UK from Bethel Connecticut in the USA.
IVOR TELFORD (K79-81) completes our entries for this year by
providing an address in California and a current email address.
ALFRED MOLSON (K38-43) was for many years a regular
contributor to these pages largely through lengthy and regular
