Favorite HKIS Memory: My favorite memory is choir practice with
Mr. von Behren. Also, when Tom and I went to China with our Lutheran
church group in 2008, guess where we went to Sunday services…yep, the
HKIS chapel, where we had our choir practices and our graduation
ceremony!!! And they were celebrating their (our) 40th Anniversary. I was
acknowledged as being from the first graduating class during the services,
and even received a 40-year HKIS coffee mug. Memories!!!
After Graduation: I attended Wisconsin State University at Eau
Claire, now part of the University of Wisconsin. I met Tom there, and we
got married in Eau Claire in 1970. In 1971, we moved to Albert Lea,
Minnesota, as Tom took a job with Wilson Foods. In 1974, we then were
transferred to Oklahoma City, where a month later our son, Michael, was
born. Another transfer in 1977 took us to Logansport, Indiana. In 1981,
Tom left Wilson Foods and decided to become a commodities trader at the
95
Chicago Mercantile Exchange in Chicago, Illinois. We settled in the suburb
of Naperville for 22 years.
During that time, our son, Mike, got married and took a job with The
Second City, the comedy club which spawned Gilda Radner, John Belushi,
Bill Murray and Tina Fey, among others. He was their musical director for
their travelling shows. When he got married in 2001, he was offered the
musical director’s job in The Second City’s venue in Las Vegas, Nevada.
By this time, Tom was trading from home instead of commuting back
and forth into Chicago. Since a computer is all that he needed, we moved
to Las Vegas in 2003; then followed our son and family again in 2013 to
Weaverville, North Carolina, just north of Asheville.
I was a nurse in a nursing home, a hospital, a doctor’s office and at a
high school. I soon burnt out, so I switched over to real estate appraising
and eventually opened up my own office. Now I am enjoying retired life
watching my four grandchildren (ages 12, 10, 8, and 6) growing up.
Bucket List: Tom wants to see all the seven continents; he has three
under his belt. I myself have done South America and Africa (with my
parents), Europe and Asia (with Tom), and of course North America. That
leaves Australia and Antarctica (brrrr).

Favorite HKIS Memory: Mrs. Christopherson, my English teacher, who encouraged
me to write more, and who took a special interest in me.
After Graduation / Significant Life Events: I went to Sarah Lawrence College, and
transferred to U.C.L.A., first considering a major in Psychology with a focus on
perception, but after taking a painting class, I decided to major in what I’d always loved
– art. I received a B.A from U.C.L.A. in 1973, and an M.F.A. in Art from U.C.L.A. in
1976. For the couple of years after that, I was only able to find part-time college
teaching work, so I moved to New York City in 1977 and taught art part-time there
briefly, but mostly held a few steady, boring jobs for many years. I did art on the side,
and read lots of literature.
My husband and I lived in Memphis for many years, and drove all around the South,
exploring the Delta from Natchez to Cairo to Arkansas, and the Missouri “Bootheel.”
After 9/11, we stopped flying to visit my family in New York City, and began driving
different routes through southern Ohio and Pennsylvania, Kentucky, West Virginia,
Alabama, North Carolina, and Virginia. I always had my camera, and took road trip
photos that became the inspiration for the paintings I am doing now. We moved to
Saugerties, New York, in 2011. I am now able to spend more time making art, and my
husband and I are both music fans and record collectors. I enjoy cooking, and look
forward to our evening meal with wine every day. We love the Hudson Valley and hike
the area as much as possible.
On August 3rd, 2005, my two sisters and I were formally adopted by our step-father,
Norbert R. Wirsching. This was a big event in our lives. I had known Norbert since
childhood, and he was always loving and supportive. You knew me as “Margaret G.
Hornbostel” – but today my maiden name would be “Margaret G. Wirsching.”
97
My sister Earlene (H.K.I.S. Class of 1969) passed away in 2011. We were only a year
and a half apart in age, and she was my best friend and partner in crime during our
Junior-High and High School years. I miss her so much.
While living in a shared house in Santa Monica, California in the early 1970’s, my path
crossed with two former H.K.I.S. classmates: Doreen Soong, and Eddie Chang. Doreen
was so nice to me, and brought me a loaf of the best bread I’d ever had; Eddie
happened to be looking for a place to stay and moved into my shared house briefly. I
remember that he drove everyone crazy by playing along on his guitar to the Rolling
Stones’ “Wild Horses” – repeatedly, and for hours at a time.
Bucket List: To make as many road trips as possible before it’s too late, and to make
and share as much artwork as possible.

After Graduation: Attended Indiana University in Bloomington, IN.
Significant Life Events: Fifty years strikes me as a long time, but in
some ways we never change. Looking back at what is written next to my
picture in our yearbook, I can tell you, I am still a “dwarf.” I am still using
my sense of humor to make life easier and I still enthusiastically use the
phrase, “I’ll do it, I’ll do it!” Our basic personalities don’t change all that
much, but each of us have had defining moments along the way that have
shaped us into who we are now.
My defining moments include the decision to
marry someone who had lived in the same place all his life and had strong
family values. I met my husband while attending Indiana University in
Bloomington, Indiana. We were married in Beck Chapel on campus. Forty-
seven years, three children and 10 grandchildren (8 boys and 2 girls
101
ranging in age from 18 years to 1 year old) later, we are still happily
married to each other.
We have lived in several places, Chicago,
Milwaukee, Phoenix, but finally returned to the family farm in Rolling
Prairie, Indiana where my husband grew up. Country living suits us well
and we are blessed to have most of our children and grandchildren close
by. Our son just recently moved back to Phoenix, Arizona with his wife and
two boys. We miss them and plan to make frequent trips to visit.
In my next defining moment, I chose to be a
stay at home Mom during the era of Women’s Lib. I enjoyed my kids in
every stage of life including the “terrible twos” and the “my parents don’t
know anything” teens. As a stay at home Mom, I did a lot of volunteer work
(I’ll do it, I’ll do it!) and I was elected to serve on the local school board.
That was the only time I ran for office, aside from student council secretary
in 1968.
A most significant defining moment for me
occurred in the early 80’s when I had a spiritual awaking and sorted our the
difference between going to church and embracing a deep and abiding faith
in Jesus. By that time our children were nearly launched and I began
devoting myself to ministry. This eventually lead to full time employment as
an Associate Pastor.
Over the years we have had good times and
bad, we all have our “stuff,” but the greatest trial we faced was in January
2014 when we learned that life can change as quickly as a slip on the ice.
My husband, Bob, fell on the ice, tried to stand and fell again. When I
arrived at the hospital, Bob did not even know who I was. He had a double
brain bleed and we were told that any surgery to stop the bleeding in his
skull would be life threatening. There was a real chance that he would not
make it. Bob sent three night in ICU, five weeks in the hospital and months
of therapy to overcome the many cognitive and physical disabilities
stemming from his brain injury. I am so thankful that he eventually had a
full recovery and that we are still doing life together.
Bob took early retirement after his accident
and I retired in June 2018. We enjoy traveling and spending time watching
our grandchildren grow. We have learned that life is a gift. Every breath
we take is a gift. Family and friends are a gift. In all these things, we are
rich. Every good thing given and every perfect gift comes from above. And
we are thankful, so very thankful.
Bucket List: I try to live each day to the fullest. No bucket list.

Spouse: (divorced)
Children: Windy Grant (45)
Stephen Baldridge (43)
Grandchildren: Jack (15)
Favorite HKIS Memories: Spending the day at the beach, playing cards and
being with good friends!
After Graduation: After I left Hong Kong: I moved back to San
Clemente, California and enrolled in Saddleback Community College. I was married
later that year in December of 1968. I got my real estate license and worked at a real
estate office in San Clemente running their rental business.
I have two children. Windy was born in 1973 and in
1975 I had Stephen. While my children were young, I was an active Skin Care
Consultant and District Director with Jafra Cosmetics from 1972 to 1984. I am still an
independent contractor with Jafra.
I started working full time in the mid ‘80s with an
attorney’s office. In 1988, I went to work for a Certified Financial Planner. For the past
30 years, I have been employed at the same CFP firm. We are a small family business
and we have grown a lot over the years. My boss’ favorite phrase is, “If you’re ripe, you
rot. If you’re green, you’re growing.” So in the spirit of that phrase, I got my insurance
and Series 6 licenses, along with the many different hats I wear at my job.
103
Significant Life Events: First, and most important, is becoming a child of God
in 1962. Time stood still, and I met my Savior in the elementary school ball room. Life
was completely different after that and has been an ongoing adventure.
After that, my most significant life events were having
Windy and Stephen, and raising them to become amazing people. That was one of the
greatest experiences and privileges of all.
Other important events were: I took up roller skating
in the mid-80s and entered some competitions, where I won 1st place. That was lots of
fun. We used to skate weekly as a family.
I was able to have horses again. At times, I rode to
and from work. Also during that time, I competed in several 25 and 50 mile endurance
races.
My Mom and I went to Israel, Paris and Germany in
1990. That was a wonderful eye-opening experience. To see the land of Israel and be
able to visualize it as I was reading my Bible is great. In the later ‘90s, I was able to
meet a friend in London and we went to Paris, Versailles and Monet’s Gardens. What
fun!
In 2004, I got divorced after 36 years of marriage. We
have remained amicable. At the present time, I am still working full time but would love
to work less and have more time to explore my creative side again.
Bucket List: Spend more time with family, gardening and enjoying
life! Travel to Japan, China, Alaska, Hong Kong and Paris … again.
Note to Classmates: Living overseas at various times was a great
experience. I am so glad to have had those opportunities. The memories, experiences
and fun I had were incredible.

Note to Classmates: Unfortunately, I left HKIS in January of 1968 for

Favorite HKIS Memories: ahh memories! – The poker games at Peter
Lipschultz’ place definitely come to mind, afterwards followed by the bar hopping
in the Suzie Wong district. Bombing all around HK in the Mini with Michael and
Tay (sometimes in his mom’s TR4). Working on the yearbook staff, prom night
with Becky, and the crazy science class with Mr. Lwin, all great memories.
After Graduation: After narrowly avoiding the draft (twice) I entered Kenyon
College where I earned my Liberal Arts BA. It was a very typical left-wing
experience; in my freshman year I was called into the Dean’s office with my
extrovert room-mate and told if we were caught again with the deadly weed we
would be out. How times change. Summers between school years were spent
with family friends or with Michael in DC where he was attending GW University.
After school I needed to see more of the world so, with a college buddy, we went
to England, bought motorcycles, visited relatives, stayed in hostels and, in the
end, had the grand tour cut short by my stay in a Norwegian hospital caused by
an unsuccessful collision avoidance attempt.
Significant Life Events: After four years in HK and four years in Taiwan my
parents moved back to Western NY and I settled there with them. In 1975, when
working at the Sylvania plant there, I met Jo on a blind date (wow! 44 years ago).
We lived together, bought a house together and then married in 1980. She has a
daughter from a previous marriage, Laurel, who today has a son, my grandson
108
Benjamin. Jo and I had our son, Trevor, in 1982 who now is leading a very active
life in Manhattan. In 1986 we moved to the Burlington, Vermont area that we
refer to as nirvana (except for mud season). Not too long-ago Jo retired from her
position as head of social services for the state hospital. I have retired after 15
years as procurement director at Maytag commercial products division and lastly
11 years as director of packaging development at Seventh Generation. These
days travel, (recently Alaska, Galapagos and Italy) is always on the agenda.
Photography, messing around with our 11 acres, and volunteering keeps me
busy on a day to day basis.
I would be remiss in listing a significant life event if I did not mention that after
many years of having no contact, Michael and I are now in frequent contact with
Tay Bosley. Here is a fellow with an interesting life history that you may get a
flavor for when you see him at the reunion.
Bucket List: Drive cross country, show Hong Kong to Trevor, visit China with
Michael (built in translator).

Spouse: divorced
Favorite HKIS Memories: Going to the prom with Peter Lipscultz. I felt so grown up
being able to wear a gown and have my hair all done up…it was very special. Peter was
a delight to be with.
I remember that my father had to leave Hong Kong 2-3
months before graduation and we decided for me to stay, at a British Boarding House
for young women. Mindy Gooch would graciously invite me over for weekends, which
was very kind of her and her family.
After Graduation: After I graduated from HKIS, I went to a American Junior
College in Bonningheim, Germany. My father had returned to Berlin, Germany where he
was living as a Pan American pilot. After that year of school, I joined my father in Berlin
for six months before I returned to Florida where my mother and siblings lived. Before
the year was up, I found my way over to the west coast to British Columbia through a
friend from college.
Significant Life Events Very briefly: I spent nearly 10 years up in British Columbia:
Vancouver Island, to Vancouver, and then inland to Kootnay Lake, between the Silkird
Montain range and the Purcells…definitely one of the most beautiful places in the world.
As far as work and occupation, I was a candle maker in my
early twenties and a tree planter afterwards for some years. My ex-husband Joel and I
built a house on seven acres bordering the wilderness. Unfortunately, we lost our house
to a fire. Within a year we moved to California where Joel’s sister and her husband
were. Joel and I parted ways, I moved to Santa Cruz and later to Rancho Mirage in the
desert near Palm Springs. I worked a variety of different jobs and became a massage
therapist.
I then moved back to Florida where my family was in Miami
in the late 80’s. That is when I decided to take more control over my life by going back
to school starting with massage therapy again, then a two year program for Physical
110
Therapy Assistant and soon after that Physical Therapy School. I am proud to say that I
graduated from Physical Therapy School at 48 years old with a Masters Degree
I tried returning to California for a year and that no longer fit,
so I moved to North Carolina for the next 16 years. I confess, I do have a bit of the
gypsy spirit in me…how else can I explain all the moving around that I have done? I
lived in Greensboro first and then up in the mountains around the Asheville area
(another one of my favorite places).
Long story short, I have moved back to Florida to be closer
to family, being still single. I have been here in Stuart, Florida now for 2 1/2 years, which
part of the Treasure Coast, about 3 hours north of Miami on the east coast. It is a
smaller city, which suits me fine. I work in a small hospital 12 miles north in Port
St. Lucie as an acute care physical therapist working with orthopedic patients after their
knee and hip replacements and also helping all the medical patients for cardiac,
neurological, and general medical problems requiring physical therapy. I enjoy my work,
it keeps me engaged and challenged.

After Graduation: I attended Concordia University Chicago, met and
married my husband and raised a family. I taught grades 5-8 and music for 20 years,
and continue to play organ for our church.
Bucket List: I love to be available to our children and
grandchildren for baby sitting, attending their activities, chauffeuring, and hosting
sleepovers. As long as I am physically and mentally able to be a helping hand and
positive role model for them, that’s at the top of my list. When we can throw in a few
trips to see new places both around the world and here in the USA, that would be
great! So far we have toured China (after the 2007 reunion in HK) and made cross-
country trips to visit family in Portland, OR.
Share with Classmates: I often think back to the incredible opportunity I had
to meet so many people from many different cultures, a blessing I would not have had
if my dad had not decided to pack up our family and move us halfway around the
world when I was 17! Talk about gaining a global view! While attending classes at
HKIS my senior year was great, I learned SO much from the after-school and
weekend moments spent with many of you. Even though we were together for such
a short time, the memories from that year have carried me through the past fifty. I
often wonder about how your lives progressed after HKIS and am amazed when I
read or hear about where you’ve gone and things you’ve accomplished! But most of
all, I pray that the original purposes of the school were served – to provide an
American-style education that would prepare you for the great colleges and
universities, and to share the love Jesus Christ has for you and the hope of eternity
with Him.

In Memory of Our Classmates
So many things have happened
since they were called away.
So many things to share with them
had they been allowed to stay.
And now on this reunion day,
so many memories come our way.
Though absent, they are always near,
still missed, remembered, and always dear.

The Dash
by Linda Ellis
I read of a man who stood to speak
At the funeral of a friend.
He referred to the dates on her tombstone
From the beginning to the end.
He noted that first came the date of her birth
And spoke of the following date with tears,
But he said what mattered most of all
Was the dash between those years.
For that dash represents all the time
That she spent alive on earth
And now only those who loved her
Know what that little line is worth.
For it matters not, how much we own,
The cars, the house, the cash,
What matters is how we live and love
And how we spend our dash.
So think about this long and hard;
Are there things you'd like to change?
For you never know how much time is left
That can still be rearranged.
If we could just slow down enough
To consider what's true and real
And always try to understand The
way other people feel.
And be less quick to anger
And show appreciation more
And love the people in our lives
Like we've never loved before.
If we treat each other with respect
And more often wear a smile,
Remembering that this special dash
Might only last a little while.
So when your eulogy is being read
With your life's actions to rehash
Would you be proud of the things they say
About how you spent your dash?

Janice Gail Blair Peacock
December 14, 1950 – September 13, 2016
HKIS Class of 1968
Janice passed away in Macon,
Georgia on September 13, 2016 and
was survived by her loving husband,
Louis A. Peacock, her daughter and
son-in-law, Kerri and Clay Bowie, her
father and step-mother, Bryan and
Diana Blair, grandchildren, Jordan and
Clay Bowie, all from Macon, her
brother, Ron Blair of California, and
her canine friend, Esther. Janice was
the daughter of the late Doris Usry.
This message from Janice is found on
the back of her 2006 CD album,
Janice B:
“I’m a Georgia girl. I was married to Gregg Allman of the Allman Brothers Band in the early
70’s (just before Cher). Gregg and I co-wrote “Oncoming Traffic.” Bonnie Bramlet cut it and I
like her soul version of it as much as I like Gregg’s bluesy way.
You know I was afraid of my shadow most of my growing up years (and felt I was living in
someone else’s shadow, too). It wasn’t until I was in my 50’s, married to my husband now,
that I came out of hiding. So don’t let the silver hair turn you away. I’ve got years of life’s
experience to offer you in my music, and I’m proud of my past because it has made me who
and what I am today.
Tom Petty has the privilege of having my older brother, Ron Blair, playing bass with him. They
left on tour June 07, 2006. You may want to check the net for their schedule. Ron was my
technical engineer on this debut CD. How great is that!
I don’t tour (as yet!). Right now I live among the Georgia Pines and write music. I have lots of
animals that constantly compete for my affection, especially when I’m in my closet. ha! ha! My
walk-in closet is my studio, painted light sea green for comfort. We all have to start
somewhere.
Well folks, I’d better save some secrets for later. God bless you all. …janice b”

Raden Panji Glenny Hadinoto
September 4, 1948 – February 16, 2018
HKIS Class of 1968
Glenn Hadinoto, of
Albrightsville, Pennsylvania
died on February 16, 2018. He
was the widower of Annabelle
(Salleh) Hadinoto. He was born
in Indonesia, son of Kusamadi
and A. Jenny Hadinoto.
Glenn was a resident of the
Albrightsville area for the past
18 years and, prior to that, he
resided in the Lyndhurst, New
Jersey area. In his early years,
he worked at the United Nations
in New York for the Indonesia
Embassy and later he became a certified respiratory therapist, worki ng at several
hospitals throughout the New York and New Jersey areas for many years.
He is survived by two sons, Frances and Gregory Hadinoto, both of California; a sister,
Ginny Watkins of Weaverville, North Carolina; and a brother, Johnny Hadinoto of
Indonesia.
Classmates will fondly remember Glenny’s “cool” accent, good looks, his love of the
outdoors & radios and his keen interest in photography. His good humor was reflected
in his class will – “being of solemn mind and body upon leaving the school, I leave my
accent to Pam Munn; to Stefan Fox lots of pretty girls and the Scene; to Kathie Booth
my old sneakers; and to Harry Waddell peanuts and good luck. A cafeteria partner to
Margo Bordwell; and to Margie Hornbostel plenty of sleep. To Peter Swaine my
bowling strikes; and the Peter Fishel new girls. To Steve Adcock a six-month’s supply
of haircuts; and to Peter Lipschultz my debts. To Earlene Hornbostel I leave the
ability to turn Hong Kong on and a pleasant time during her stay. And to the rest of
the school, I leave my motto, “Ever onward to prosperity.” And may everyone enjoy,
too, the good time I had in Hong Kong.”

Message to the faculty: From “The Prophet”: “No man can reveal to you might aught but that which
already lies half-asleep in the dawning of your knowledge. The teacher who walks in the shadow of the
temple, among his followers, gives not of his wisdom, but rather of his faith and his lovingness . . . If he is
indeed wise he does not bid you enter the house of his wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of
your own mind . . . Kahlil Gibran.

Having found this life and the world meaningless, I, Kang Chung Won, am happy to leave. When looking
back I feel very grateful to the jolly good friends. I feel terribly sorry for those who have suffered from
my mental incompetence as well as my physical superiority. I won’t pick on you guys any more. I have no
desires of leaving any will in this world. Gone will be the memories, but . . . I leave all my love to Miss
Kaufmann, the trips to Lantao Island were just great, Rick; Gregg should know the right way of doing
head stands, Dave should know he is a “crazy American”. I will miss the not-well-communicated
conversations with Steve in the school bus every morning, Mike’s strong right hand won’t be tortured by
mine any more, may Dave and Al find the perspiring Tai-Kwan-Do lessons rewarding, I’ll miss the crazy
mountain climbings, Eddie and the two Saturday nights with I-Know-who, to me. I will be dreaming of
the world where we meet again. May all of you staying behind be blessed and have a rewarding school
life at HKIS as much as possible. Good-bye.
