HK Atarn's youngest member

Post by YiLi Ong » Tue Jan 24, 2006 4:11 am

Danny Wong joined the HK horseback archery team as its newest and youngest member early this month.

Our congratulations to his parents, Fox and Julie, and his brother, Richy.

Fox won a silver medal in the First International Horseback Archery Competition in Sokcho last year. Stephen Selby, the team leader, expects big things from the Wongs and is drawing up a training programme.

Great news! :D

If you can send over a sample nappy (preferably not soiled), I'll get him fitted for a saddle.

Folks,

TQ for the card and call and Danny is getting well so as Julie. In fact, I am sending him and his big brother (2.5yrs) to have (international) western education.

I revisited Stephen's thick book and it seems that thousand years archery tradition boiled down to less than a dozen people who really interested, quite phenomenal!

What should I do to them in the present real time? Big topic.


Fox, Julie, Richy and Danny

No, Fox, I don't think so. Hundreds and thousands were really interested, and a dozen or so could read and write. :wink:

Stephen,

That's right, when the rite was lost, let's find it in the field.

礼失求诸野.

Richy and I visited the Tuen Mun riding school today and a few ponies and small horses are just perfect size for horseback archery!

Make our day, Fox: Send me a family snapshot and send Stephen a nappy.
