Hello, 祝平,

We just formed a planning team, consisting of
張永年,陸孔卿,以及 yours truly, to organize a choir reunion in Atlanta, June 21-24, 2017!  At this time we only fixed the dates.  Could you help send out the announcement of the reunion to our choir members?  Please ask whoever likes to join to let us know by 9/30/2016.  If you don't mind, could you have them confirm with you, then you forward the names to us?  Many thanks!

By the way - we need boys, hahaha, so please make sure you could join us :)

大家好,

孫召棠、張永年、陸孔卿己決定在明年201762124日在Atlanta辦一次Reunion,歡迎大家報名,他們會負責安排當地旅館住宿及行程,有意參加者請務必於930日前向我報名,我會統一將名單轉給召棠,報名時請附聯絡電話、email address及地址,以利聯絡。

我會參加,希望大家能踴躍報名, Mrs.Rice近年來風溼性關結炎較嚴重,手腳活動皆受影響,動作較慢,因此我們到Atlanta去,不必她再奔波了。
請在930日前報名,以利安排。
謝謝

Dear Suchung,
We are not planning to have either performance or concert this time.  We just wanted to hangout with Mrs. Rice and our fellow choir buddies.  Of course if Chang Bi-Rong wants to solo somewhere I will definitely be there to clap :-)

Dear All,
The Reunion Planning Committee (RPC) is excited to report that 26 confirmed participants plus our beloved Mrs. Rice will sing together next June!!  Attached is a confirmed list of attendees.  We think there are a number of maybes that could most likely to join us in the near future.  We will keep you updated.
Please review the attached form and let me know if you need a single hotel room or you will share (0.5 room) with another person.  If you know whom you would share the room with just let us know. 
After we know how many rooms our group needs we will then begin our search for a hotel to accommodate us during the reunion.
In the meantime please send in your dream songs that you would like to sing at the reunion.  So far we have Alleluia by Randall Thompson!!!!  Chang Bi-Rong also challenged us to sing new songs.
Tentatively the schedule of the reunion is:
6/21/17  Arrival
6/22-23/17  Hanging out and sing our hearts out :-)
6/24/17  Departure

報告完畢!

 主旨: Re: 請親愛的大家說出你對周牧師的懷念

親愛的大家,


學校為周牧師舉行的追思會在9/23 路思義教堂舉辦完成.參加的人並不很多,都是認識並想念周牧師的 東海校長,教職員,校友.
其中包括三位校長,阮大年校長,王亢沛校長,及現任王茂駿校長.
下午三點開始,一小時結束,溫馨.
校牧室另在圖書館為周牧師做了一個展覽.
明年相聚,我會帶一些學校製作的周牧師的禱文書籤給大家,8/1 9懷恩堂為追思禮拜製作的懷念周牧師DVD,其中有幾聖樂團的照 片.
這次周牧師不能與我們一起,影音相隨,我們也與他告別.

附件是9/23在東海追思會,宇荷代表大家的想念的分享文,當時 因時間迫無法先請大家過目,在此致歉.

昭明,明年聚會,你為何不來? 你的永年師兄正揮大旗相招, 希望你來,我們有一起懷念伯峰!
希望你來啊!

親愛的大家,

周牧師於八月六日離去大家心中都非常不捨, 我們在讀書的時候他是我們的董事長(1958,1970- 1972,我們不只在典禮中看到他,他更陪伴我們旅行演唱, 其中大家都有許多回憶.更在2004,2006,2012, 2014的reunion 陪伴我們,愛護我們,帶我們晨更,也與我們一同玩耍. 練唱的時候,我們唱著唱著,回過頭來,他就靜靜地坐在那裏聽, 好像一位慈父.

今天(9/13)接到學校校牧室來電,說在九月二十三日, 東海將為周聯華牧師舉行一個紀念會,其中有一段緬懷的時間, 邀請數位代表分享.其中有一段是希望以周牧師與東海聖樂團分享. 主任牧師邀宇荷代表分享.
或許這是為周牧師最後一次有機會做一點點事,宇荷斷不能推脫. 但是代表聖樂團,希望大家, 得周牧師陪伴旅行演唱或reunion的各位, 分享對周牧師的懷念,或是幾句話或是一段文字. 宇荷將試著把大家的心意表達.讓我們這些與周牧師有直接接觸, 體會他對我們的心意的大家,將心意表達.更請紹棠,懷群,清邁, 你們都是周牧師早年在東海擔任董事長就認識他的,務請分享( 煩請兆貞轉告清邁).謝謝!謝謝!
另,還要請紹棠與Mrs. Rice 連絡,請她分享心中感念.

希望聖樂團的分享能說出周牧師帶給我們的鼓勵,支持與榜樣.
再次謝謝!

宇荷敬上

Subject: Music for our 6/21/2017 - 6/24/2017 Atlanta Reunion

親愛的聖樂團團友們:

大家好﹗

Mrs. Rice 為大家選了要在 Atlanta 團聚時練習的曲子如下:

1. 齊當向主歌唱 O Sing unto the Lord (中文版)
2. O Magnum Mysterium
3. 虔求教導 Teach me O Lord (中文版)
4. Alleluia
5. 買了一個新鮮的蘋果
6. 亭亭一新生枝條 Lo, how a rose e'er blooming (中文版)
7. We wish you a merry Christmas
8. 道情
9. 我心切慕上帝 Like as the hart (中文版)
10. 茉莉花
11. 願主賜福保佑你 The Lord bless you and keep you (中文版)

這幾條曲子是我們 2012 年 10 月在東海大學團聚時都唱過的,當時袁祝平學長為
大家編印了一本「2012 年東海大學聖樂團團員重聚合唱歌曲集」(請參考附件),
我們猜想 2012 年參加團聚的團友們手邊一定還保存著這本歌曲集,還請大家找找,
找到的話,別忘了把它帶到亞特蘭大去練唱,若是找不到或是從未拿到這本歌曲集,
還得請袁祝平學長為大家加印幾本唱譜,所以麻煩大家回覆下列的問卷:

________   我已有 2012 團聚的歌曲集

________   我需要歌曲集

謝謝團友們的支持與合作!

Dear 祝平, 召棠, 孔卿, 永年

很多人在年輕時,可能是小說「飄」的讀者,也是電影「亂世佳人」的影迷,而亞特蘭大就是「飄」的原鄉,除了「飄」以外,亞特蘭大做為南北戰爭時期的重要城市,有不少可以講古的題材及地方。

既然我們已來到亞特蘭大, 是否有可能請當地校友幫忙,安排會前或會後一或兩天遊,來認識亞特蘭大?

Just a thought.

大家好

感謝孫召棠、陸孔卿及張永年的規劃,如今己有超過30人參加,這兩天更聯絡到了Atlanta的聖樂團校友,20屆國貿的郝慰國及夫人20屆音樂系的許瑞芳,他們可以協助我們的活動,也可和當地校友相聚,今天更找到了另二位當地的聖樂團校友24屆音樂糸的向書權孫淑藺夫婦,相信很多人都認得。

若有人想再報名就要快了,因為旅館房間要訂,請先和陸孔卿聯絡,不知是否仍有優惠?

Dear 麗津:

Your idea is great. Although Shaotang, Yungnien and I have no plan to do any pre/post reunion trip ourselves, it is a worthy endeavor. I went online to do a quick search for "Atlanta city tours" and found some information. Below are two websites that talked about Atlanta city tours (there are many more):
https://www.expedia.com/things-to-do/margaret-mitchells-gone-with-the-wind-walking-tour.a285009.activity-details?srp=true&location=Atlanta&categories=Tours%20%26%20Sightseeing%7C

http://www.atlanta.net/50fun/history/

I think we need people who are really interested in the idea to organize the trip. Could you be the organizer? I can email everyone and ask people who would like to do such a trip to contact you. What do you think?

Sincerely,
kungching

Dear 孔卿,

謝謝你回應我的建議。
由住在外地的人來辦旅遊是很不容易的, 不僅對環境不熟悉, 而且也缺乏資源, 我很了解你們沒有這個計劃。
我的原意是能否請當地校友幫忙來辦的。如果有困難就不用麻煩他們了。
有興趣的人自己參加 Local tour 也是行得通的。
再一次謝謝你們籌備這次的大團聚。非常期待六月的相見。

Dear Mrs. Rice and Choir Friends,

Some of you may not be aware ... I am the web master for the web site used by Tunghai's class of '72 to distribute information about reunions and such. Here is the web site:

http://www.tunghai72.org/

I have also been placing choir reunion related material on this web site. When you go to the main page, you will see on the left side (the menu section) the heading "Choir Reunion". Under "Choir Reunion", there are 3 links leading to the reunion info for 2017, 2012, and 2004.

If you click on 2017, you can get to a page where there are more links to photos I took with my iPhone. You can click on a picture to get the original version of the photo which you can download and keep if you should so desire. I confess though I did not take too many photos on this trip.

If you have group photos with good resolution that you would like to share, you are welcome to send them to me and I can add them to these photo pages.

You can also click on 2012 and 2004 to get to old articles, photos, and videos from previous reunions.

Thank you all for a wonderful get together. You kids have been super, Mrs. Rice especially! 😃

Sincerely,
kc
