我們為什麼會在此時此刻聯絡上呢?
這要歸功於我們的「畢旅王子」鍾斌。
8/9/2011於台北兄弟飯店,其他同學看起來都像王公,只有鍾斌還是像王子。
在三月中旬接到我的台大畢業35週年跨系重聚會(11/15)通知,回函告訴我考古系趙瑪麗和他一直有聯絡,也打算回台參加此項活動。
又有同學再度提醒我輔大哲學系的方芷芬在青輔會,等我採取行動時方芷芬已退休,
還好網路上很容易地查到她的手機號碼和e-mail address,三月底就找到她,給我很大的找人信心。
等到七月底規劃好台大重聚會我們班級的兩天一夜(11/12~13)會外會活動,就拜託「同學會達人」林莉學妹展開搜索,再加上輔大公共事務室的協助,其他幾位女士在兩三星期內就陸陸續續找到了。

<畢旅組曲>

輔大哲學系 方芷芬
序曲
為了籌劃這頗具「規模」的畢業旅行,終於在十二月二十一日譜下了畢旅序曲。第一次我接觸到台大化工系的男孩,初相逢,他們先介紹了幾位負責畢旅活動的同學,當時只記得個個西裝革履,不茍言笑,顯出一種很有辦事效率的樣子。在交談中我發覺有些同學自視很高,有些則能言善道,並稍帶諧世幽默感。在處事上工學院的男孩似乎較注重形式架構,這或許與學習環境有關。晚會終於在十一點鐘結束了。迎著晚風,踽踽獨行,只想忘情一切世俗煩囂,期盼著能有一天時、地利、人和的畢業旅行到來。
第一樂章
日子在盼望中一天天地近了。一向起晚的我,這天起了個大早,為加入頗有「組織」的畢旅行列。但看到每位男士卻是無精打采,睡眼惺忪,正感納悶,方聽說諸位為趕「單操」習題,上焉者小睡三、兩小時,次焉者於出發前才完稿,另有精神可嘉者,計畫於第二天趕至梨山與我們會師。
猶記第一天的行程是經蘇花公路到花蓮,一路上聽到趙教授平易近人的談吐,並高唱一曲「鍾山春」,可說字正腔圓,韻味十足。當車行至清水斷崖,右邊緊矗著巍峨的高山,左邊卻是直峭的斷壁,公路蜿蜒地伸展著,走在上面,如臨生死一線,驚險萬分。然放眼望去,一片汪洋是那般遼闊,在輝煌的陽光下,尚清晰可見花蓮輪航行於太平洋上,真是景色怡人。可惜有些男孩因為一夜的挑燈奮鬥,體力不支,或倒、或臥、或嘔吐,好不令人同情。接著,我們到了鯉魚潭,碧綠潭水,沁人心脾,泛舟潭心,浮榮盡滌,真有「水清心亦閑」之感。
是夜,投宿花蓮旅社,用過豐盛的晚餐,本想漫步於花蓮海邊,接受夜的洗禮,奈以商討次日分組活動事宜,而未能成行。後有住花蓮的同學來訪,倍感親切。他鄉遇故知,可謂談笑無還期。
第二樂章
次日離開了花蓮,步入工程雄偉的中部橫貫公路。它顯示另一種挺拔的姿態,懸崖峭壁是多少無名英雄的犧牲,才成就這偉大的傑作,可惜除了在燕子口、一線天之外,坐在急駛的遊覽車上,實在未能盡興。
唯一令人興奮的是在碧綠神木,我們遇到了蔣院長等政府首長與外賓,能這麼接近的與蔣院長談話、握手、攝影,真感榮幸。他給我們的感覺是那麼平易近人,彷彿是個慈祥飽學的教授,讓人由衷地敬愛。
又上車了,但這時大家都忘卻了旅途的疲勞,為能在大自然中見到蔣院長的風采而各抒己懷。當車行至大禹嶺時,合歡山上一片雪白就近在眼前,在金色陽光的輝映下,顯得如此迷人。遺憾的是在行程上未作此項安排,同時為趕著天黑前到達梨山吃晚餐休息,只得留待以後有機會再前往合歡了。
第三樂章
早上起來,溫煦的陽光已洩入窗宇,這是一個好天。我們將至世外桃源--溪頭尋幽探訪。
到了溪頭已是傍晚時分,領隊宣佈今晚有個燭光晚會,各小組當提供精彩節目,並請趙教授為總評判,第一名者備有豐富之獎品,其餘亦統統有獎。晚會就在男生寢室舉行,氣氛相當融洽,大家已能打成一片,不分彼此。尤以老查與寶玉的小放牛,莊魔與Bongya的釣「金馬」,何存隆的客串湯姆瓊斯,可說各盡「騷態」,也看得個個如癡如狂,拍案叫絕。另有一臀力頂撞競賽,理所當然的是公推看來都相當「穩重」的呂文芳與孫瑞強一決勝負,孫大概平日訓練有素,兩下就把呂文芳給頂了出界,一度一關暫回寶座,並繼續接受觀眾挑戰,正在尋尋覓覓、探探訪訪之際,一位長得白皙瘦高的男孩夏禧平自告奮勇、出戰擂台,大家都為他的勇氣喝采。主持人也強調這是鬥智不鬥力的遊戲。也許長得苗條,反應較為靈敏,夏採「以退為進」的戰術,再施以一些誘惑,第一回合挑戰成功,他的啦啦隊們熱情洋溢也來個擁抱以示鼓勵,老查並為他面授機宜,又是一陣高潮,最後還是因為孫的實力「雄厚」,而為我們這組贏得勝利。
今晚,笑聲把我們的心溶聚於一團,有寶的耍寶,有醜的獻醜,「老實人」黃正郎也表演一齣求婚記,欲言又止,相當含蓄,但總覺得跟他的人連不起來。
接著是溪頭的夜之旅,漫步於大學池,沁涼的微風中吹著絲絲的涼意,幽暗的天空中,點綴著幾點辰星,這是個令人陶醉的夜晚。
溪頭的早晨,又是不同的景緻,陰涼幽靜,四外澄清,野草無聲地茁壯,花朵靜靜地綻放,呈現的是一幅閒靜的景象。沿著小徑登高俯視可看到古樹莊嚴地屹立著,感受到一種潛伏著的力量,靜觀群樹,使人領受到它們是如何地安於緩慢而穩健的發展,如何不畏風霜雨露,在秋風瑟縮之餘,仍能昂然屹立,它使我體會到如何堅強,並忍受小小拂逆,這該是最大的收獲。
鳥鳴山更幽,回來在餐廳前看到數隻小白鴿啄食人們餵的花生米,他無所畏懼,因為在如此風雅的地方,人類也是善良的。
第四樂章
第四天我們由溪頭經台南一路直下高雄,參觀了中化丙烯「ㄑㄧㄥˊ」工廠,聽了簡報,除了了解一些石化原料與日常生活衣食住行息息相關外,其餘的實在看不懂。
次日至鵝鑾鼻、墾丁公園,舊地重遊,本想再忘情於高山碧野之間,又是奈於時間匆匆,大家又趕又跑,唯恐時不我予,一路揮著不知是雨水還是汗水,登上了雨傘亭,俯瞰群山,真是「氣象萬千,心曠神怡」,在雨水的滋潤下,樹木也顯得濃翠欲滴,美不勝收。
又到了該說再會的時候,臨別依依,趙教授吟了首詩詞相贈。六天的行程雖亦有未盡興之處,然諸位的精心籌劃、與彼此的照應,也為大學四年中留下深刻的回憶。也多謝台大同學臨別贈送的紀念書籍與手冊,雖是此物何足貴,但感別經時......。

輔大家政系 舒明華
當我一步一步走向椰樹下那群人的時候,充滿了陌生的感覺,同組的除了我們三個都是僑生。但是當車子一開始發動,蟄伏已久的心又跳躍起來,我已無暇去顧及這些「人」了。車過中興橋,我幾乎不認識了,出遊的心情,使眼中的事物,看起來都更美了些,連我來往了四年的這橋,都不一樣了。
一路的歌,使時光易過,在豐原-東勢途中,赫然發現兩隊木棉,驚喜木棉花在此地竟可以開得如此絢麗豪華--彷彿因為我的驚訝,她們笑著、笑著,滿樹的笑著,笑紅了整個的豐勢路,我向她們眨眨眼,好耀眼的歡迎!
車過梨山後,緊貼著山盤旋而上,使我覺得這車的迴繞,彷彿是為了讓車上的人,從變化的角度,去審視山的壯碩與水的柔美。遙望水庫,正以彎彎的曲線,描繪著一泓藍潭,好個天光雲影,竟襯著碧水流連緩移,徘徊不忍遽去呢!
山,是樹的山。長年老樹們年高德劭地在蒼綠中顯露著沉穩,怡然地註下了山中悠悠的歲月;英挺壯碩、碧綠離離的新枝又像青年才俊,張揚著希望的驕傲。但當風的手指拂過樹梢,一時間,我竟唐突地覺得:它們是沒有代溝的!我怎回事?
在一座我忘了名字的石橋前下了車,右邊,彌勒佛穩穩地端坐著,一群大孩子,爭先恐後地爬上他的臂彎,靠在他的大肚皮上。還好,他的肚量大,這樣的呵癢仍可以笑得如此含蓄,否則肚皮抖起來必定很可觀!石橋另一邊的溪水上,有架小木橋,我曾過小橋一半,距於石上臨流而歌,初識武陵溪水。
更向裏,行入果樹區,桃梨滿園開。雲白的花,朵朵倚靠著、擠著、鬧著。像巨人花園裏的春天,頑皮的孩子們趴在枝上、騎在枝上、也倒掛在枝上;又彷彿一陣大雪剛剛下過,滿枝的秀麗,也是最甜蜜的負荷?
一進入武陵盆地,搶先入目的是一畦畦的菜圃,新嫩的芽葉,小小的、乖乖地排排坐著,如果不是說的人飽學似的肯定口氣,我真懷疑這麼坦然的小葉兒,怎會是那愛羞的包心菜的小時候呢?
招待所,是李馬文淘金式的木屋,未見得舒適,但那樸實的樣兒,卻誠懇的許諾了一宿可靠的棲身之地。休息的時候,與同組已混得熟些;晚飯時,又自我介紹一次,加上來時的一路,我發覺,他們之中竟有最原始最可靠的善良--是一種不諳世故圓滑的善良。
遊戲結束,已十點半了,曹說要夜遊,換了長褲,擎著一支火把上路,是二十來人。
吊橋,彷彿是為了讓我們渡過夜的黑,因為除了喧嘩的聲音,已無從辨認溪流了。彎進右側小徑,來到一個小溪谷,溪邊的沙石地十分濕冷,營火難起,有人帶了火花亮麗的爆竹,多可愛的心思呀!我開始喜歡這群人了--第一次覺得。當火花的溫暖在大夥眼中閃耀時,我真高興,為大家能鬆一口氣而高興。
谷頂,一片繁麗星光織就的夜空,正無語地覆著谷中無盡秘密似的夜;谷底之寒,使我難當,吉他的歌聲像一隻溫婉的手臂,許我以暫忘寒慄,開始了一個夜的夢。我所愛的夜們,也包括了這樣一個夜,美麗而沉默,如果相機照得出我的心思,那一定是張貪心的臉,歎韶光易逝!
三時許,回到李馬文的家,該睡的都已安然入夢,只醒著滿天亮晶晶的星,他們頑皮的心思,使善解的眼神裡,不斷地閃著笑。為了珍惜山裡的夜,而與星兒坐對的一時半刻裏,我認出那是兒時故宮夏夜裏滿天喧嘩的星,是士林河畔小屋後遙對的孤星,天文臺大望遠鏡裏冷靜凝對的星¼¼想著想著,最後,星兒都化成了小王子歸去時的淚眼和銀鈴的許諾,漸去漸遠......。
洗了把臉,假裝是剛睡醒,四點三刻,上桃山瀑布,積習晚睡晏起的艾仍在隆中高臥。曹與我同行,體諒她,我們緩步慢行。爬山時,我不敢催促,只怕一不鼓勵,她那些許的堅持就要放棄了。
在尚未「聽」到瀑布以前,回首是最美的了。清晨的山谷尚未甦醒,紗似的晨嵐凝候著曦光。對面山坡上輕移的日影,正悄悄地融化了山中夜來頑固的寒冷......,走著走著,想起那歌「過這一山、這一川,就是我的愛人住的地方¼¼」如果是我呢?讓來人唱吧!我願是等待的人。轉過迴峰,聽到瀑布的時候,我鬆了一口氣--為曹、也為我。
瀑布像匹練般委婉地直瀉下來,有人說就美在那纖細,是嗎?我還是固執地想:「自然」就已足夠解釋它所有的美了。喝了瀑布的水,把它溶進了我。哈!瀑布與我!也許是晨間的水,凍得手紫了,曹替我搓了好一會。瀑布在風口,寒冷的很。我們正急急地躲那寒冷,瞧見路上有人站好了樣,正要照像,就奔上去也入了鏡頭,本來只是好玩,未料上星期三在「小美」,聽說我們的底片一張也洗不出,而傷心得胃痛時,這一張竟成了安慰。
歸途,無牽無掛,迤邐而行,再看來時路,已是兩樣心情,還在途中好整以暇地逗一隻小畫眉唱歌。也許,那小畫眉也得意地在逗我唱歌哩!再過吊橋,是唯一一次「光明」的渡過。
回到山莊已過八時,老艾已升帳,我們未詢及桃山願否就與她合影留念。用了早餐,無言告別的武陵。又過果園,樹上繁花稍減,莫非昨夜風兒趁著星光,使我們成了墜樓人兒?
開玩笑的生氣(我們坐在後面),與艾大唱特唱,其實,不為什麼,只為我們已唱得興起,只要有一絲心情總要歌的,歌成一縷思念,繫著令人懷念的地方,就像是思念一個好朋友。
車至礁溪,憶及小時來此,黎明出門,一路上彩蝶紛飛,而今已是往事如煙,物是人非了,傷逝如水!
小宇說到階上的瀑布去,是值得的,於是我們穿過迴旋而升的石階,綠蔭掩映的倚山小道。分不出看見了仙女的披紗?還是童話中女孩的秀髮?行近水邊仰視,驚覺到大自然神秘的力量,使我不敢再趨近,因為既不似輕紗,也不似秀髮,而成了神的力量,莫非要啟示奧秘?下階的時候,我竟沒有回顧,覺得已經看到最好的了,的確,是值得的!
奔下山來,急往頭城,海邊細紗鋪地,海上碧灰的霧籠著海平線,稍稍的逗留,又匆忙上路,歸途總是溫暖的,恰似去時的輕快。發現落日在家的方向,倍增倦情。
車近坪林,與艾唱起珍重再見,用心地希望每個同行,都能聽出再見就是珍重的意思,好讓我們再見!
後記:一向習慣讓別人感覺到,而不願刻意的表露,於是,由日記節錄的這一篇,就份外地不自在了,這原都是對自己說的話啊!你不能苛求我的自語。
在給愛友的信上,我記著「......為了彌補未與妳去畢旅而有武陵同行,但為了武陵春遊,反覺未去畢旅是個大遺憾,不要笑我是貪心的孩子,原諒我要求多而好。能把懂事和赤子之心融得那麼好,使他們成為我眼中的可愛,甚至連那提著黑傘不願替我們捉畫眉的人......。」
由武陵歸後,玩的心又甦醒了,哪像要畢業的人?我說要另找一個愛玩的人,要膽大、心細、年青、力大,不但要不嘮叨,玩的心還得是活著的人,老艾說:「我看只有山胞。」不行!山胞有耐性嗎?堪慮!

Dear Lillian,
Tammy forwarded your e-mail to me regarding my Fu-Jen classmate
Ms. Fang. I live at Sugar Land in greater Houston area for about 15 years
since I moved to USA in 1996. I am so sorry that I am not familiar with
my classmate Ms. Fang Chi Feng. I guess I am getting too old. Can you
forward my e-mail to her and then we may have a good talk.
I can type chinese but pretty slow so I write in English. And also I will
go back to Taiwan next April to visit my father at Taitung, so maybe
I can meet Ms. Fang somewhere at Taipei.
It is so nice to hear from you and talk to you soon.

Dear Francis,
Thank you to keep me informed.
我很感激你幫忙考古系同學報名並代墊報名費,盡管你日常工作非常忙碌,你還是非常樂於助人。這讓遠在海外的我省了不少事,也才敢頂替我們班代做考古系的聯絡人。謝謝!
另外也很感謝你保存記錄如此完整,讓我有機會重溫年少輕狂時與你們同遊畢業旅行的美好時光,還可download 珍貴遺失的畢旅照片給我女兒看,真棒!尤其你還註明在照片中的排列誰是誰,讓記憶力日漸衰退的我可以把熟悉的名字跟臉對上,免得三十五周年慶踫到你們同學時傻眼。
當年我單槍匹馬頂替我們班的一位美女(她是應某人?特邀)參加台大化工和輔仁女同學的畢業旅行,本來心中忐忑不安,但因你們班同學的照顧,沒多久就交了很多新朋友。另一個應某人特邀的「明星」王寶玉,她的「小放牛」唱作俱佳,一直深印我腦中。
化工系人才濟濟,活潑又好玩,輔仁女生溫柔賢淑,我夾在中間非常愉快,居然最後還被封為化工系榮譽班友,因為你們班女生不大多。記得最後一次跟你們班在餐館聚會,你說每十年要重聚一次,可惜我一晃就三十五年沒有看過你們,除了鍾斌以外。也多虧他才跟你們班又聯繫上。
很羨慕你們班的向心力及團結,活動有這麼多,大概這也要歸功於你的盡心盡力及其他同學的熱心響應。
有緣千里來相聚,我非常期待再跟你們團聚的日子,也希望你們能找到以前同遊的輔仁女同學,一起敘敘舊。
*還有文芳兄,我舉雙手贊成你朋友說的﹕「你如不努力成為名人,實在太可惜了,因為你的紀念館中不愁沒有資料文物。」 我對你link的文章太impressed 了! 請問有誰還記得小學所有老師的名字? ﹕0)

Dear Francis,
It was indeed very good memories for all of us. We were so young and full of passion and energy at that time . I would like to join the special reunion in November, however, I will visit my 2 daughters at San Francisco in mid November. They just moved from DC WAS to there. And last time when I visited them at DC, I was so lucky to join the Beinu 1972 classmates 35 reunion there and met some old friends including 蔡英英Tsai Ying Ying. She also joined the NTU graduation trip in 1976.
Our Fu-Jen german department classmates still keep contacts through e-mail, if you feel OK I may contact those girls joining the graduation trip. And I also want to know one of your classmates whose name is 何存隆Ho Tsueng Lung. I met him when I was in Beinu and he was a very nice and talented young boy. After so many years I still remember his beautiful voice of singing - Killing me softly with his song - . I wish him everything good and if I could get his e-mail address would be wonderful.
It is indeed so nice to hear from you and wish I can help you a little bit to get our old ladies together. And if there is any friend who still lives in Houston area , perhaps we might meet and have a good talk. That must be very interesting. Talk to you soon and have a nice day.

很多人--包括我老婆--都不解,為什麼我要下那麼大功夫,去尋覓35年前兩度參加我們台大化工系畢業旅行的外校/外系女同學們?
就是瑪麗信中所提的相約「十年重聚」諾言,讓我這無法下台的「萬年班代」耿耿於懷。
*1986年畢業十年時,我還在美國工作,翌年才回台定居。
*1991年畢業十五年時,我們只有十幾個同學在國賓飯店開了一個小型的擴大同學會。
*1996年畢業二十年時,正值我離開台大教職,重返工業界之際,生活型態改變,忙碌異常,無人發起就無聲無息地渡過。
*2000年畢業二十四年時,在台北聯誼社第一次舉辦帶老婆的同學會,做為次年同學會的暖身活動。
*2001年畢業二十五年時,在台大及八里地中海國際中心,我們第一次舉辦大型的同學會,除盡力找到失聯同學外,已無餘力。
*2006年畢業三十年時,到花蓮悅來飯店辦了三天兩夜的旅遊,集約十人之力又編了一本240頁的曠世巨著紀念集,亦無餘力。
*2006~2011年五年間,我們在台北舉辦了四十餘次同學聚會。此時至少有七位同學已過世,而僅餘兩位在台本地同學失聯,可能刻意躲著我們。
*2011年畢業三十五年時,除了11/15台大校慶當日已有近五十位同學及眷屬報名參加跨系重聚會外,又擬在其前週末舉辦兩天一夜本班的會外會百人超級大活動,很適合妳們大家一起來參加。
瑪麗,妳的問題依序回答如下:
Dear Francis,
*Wow, I have to treat you a lunch or dinner when I get back, in order to thank you sincerely.
(以下呂文芳答覆,#結束)
I knew that you would appreciate and treasure those old photos. Five years ago, when we were celebrating our 30th anniversary of being graduated from college and publishing the commemoratory yearbook, I have most of the old group pictures scanned, including those taken at 太魯閣 and 梨山賓館 and given to our classmates in a set of 8 DVDs.
I will take a rain check for your treat till my body weight reduced to my “normal” situation. I had a sciatica operation last summer and have accumulated 10 kg since then.#
*Is that you who took these photos?
(以下呂文芳答覆,#結束)
Yes, I was a pretty good photographer. However, nowadays I use only idiot proof digital cameras. I took about 25,000 pictures in my 43 visits of the Taipei Flora EXPO and 6,000 in the 5-day-and-4-night visits of the Shanghai EXPO 2010. My record was taking about 1,000 pictures in the 8.5-hour non-stop stroll in the Forbidden City last October. #
*And you still keep them?
(以下呂文芳答覆,#結束)
Yes, I have not lost any picture since I bought a Konica camera in the freshman year. The negative films have also been kept in a printable condition. I can retrieve any picture or its negative in seconds. My philosophy (I should not talk about this in front of ChiFeng.) is that if one does not organize his pictures, why bothered taking them or being taken. I will give you the original printout of
*Plus who put all the names next to our group photos in previous email? I don't even remember most people's names.
(以下呂文芳答覆,#結束)
The young Francis, called Wenfang then, did. He believed that some day an archeologist, called Mary or Mali, digging out the group photos might appreciate, so he wrote down all the ladies’ names on pieces of paper and kept them in a safe place. Five years ago, my wife got them typed. #
*But I do wish to see 徐鐵軍、方芷芬、曹秀明 if possible. If all the 輔仁ladies can join our 會外會,then it will be so perfect. I am dreaming a sweet dream....
(以下呂文芳答覆,#結束)
I am making progress day by day, and five of you have been reconnected. You are all invited for the 11/12~13 activities as our guests (女同學本人free of charge). If you could not stay for the two whole days, you may choose to stay for any length preferred. However, the afternoon and the evening of 11/12 should be the highlights. #
*By the way, who were those two tall boys and two beautiful girls stood next to me on the right side in
(以下呂文芳答覆,#結束)
From right are 王家驄 working as a chemical engineer for Shell Development Co. in Houston, and 章詣遠, a real estate and hotel/restaurant big shot in Chicago. I can assure that PiMei could get a big discount from him. Another two long-legged ladies are sisters (twins?) from FJU. The young Francis did not keep records for the April trip as well as the January one. Maybe someone could help me out.
The first from left is 榮光 who is the youngest in our class, but was our 系狀元. He had been lost in the U.S. for 33 years before being recovered in 2009. He is still single and living in North Carolina. The second from left is 楊肇華 who has retired from the electronic sector of Rohm and Haas in Taiwan and was married to the youngest wife among our classmates. #
*Oh, I do have one question, why some people's names are highlighted in yellow?
(以下呂文芳答覆,#結束)
Those classmates highlighted in yellow in the 參加重聚會名單have not made up their minds to attend or not yet.#
*My husband and I will join your 會外會, please register for me; but I am afraid that we are not good karaoke singers because life is too busy/fast in USA and we don't have time to practice. We will watch you guys and your lovely wives (boss). :0)
(以下呂文芳答覆,#結束)
You and your husband are welcome. Don’t worry! If you are not a good singer, be a good listener. In our class, we have many 唱將級 singers including me. Once they get on the stage, they never come down proactively.
Living in the U.S. is not a good excuse for not being able to sing. Many times I told my friends, it is more suitable for people living in American houses to develop a KARAOKE hobby as you don’t have to worry about bothering neighbors with noise. Get a Golden Voice KARAOKE machine with 40,000 songs for NT25,000 with my help, when you come back to Taiwan. The rest of your life would be brighter. #

Hi, Francis,
I am really amazed by your unbelievable work. I can't imagine how much time you have spent on searching and re-organizing this re-union. The most difficult is to match name and face of those girls from outside of your class. I took album to look at old pictures. Shame on me. I don't remember any one of you at all.
It is very touching that your class members get together once a while. I haven't seen Monica since graduated. We always missed each other when we went back to Taipei.
I already relay this information to my two classmates and ask them to find the rest and contact you asap. I thank your invitation. Unfortunately, I won't be make it.
Best regards,

Dear Francis,
It was a bit of surprise and a great honor to receive your documented attachments and the invitation to your class’ 35th reunion. I was especially impressed by your excellent record and memory keeping. However, it’s so embarrassed to tell you that I only remembered you and 鍾斌 among all of your classmates as I looked at the photos and tried very hard to refresh my memory. I had become very good friend with your classmate 華維禧since 2003 when we reconnected and hosted together for the Beinu’s reunion in DC area. Through her, I met 鍾斌 and his wife last year when they came to visit her in Northern Virginia, and he did not change much at all. As for the connections with the ladies outside of your class, I only managed to find three of them. I had asked them to contact you directly if any of them is interested in joining the gathering.
I happened to have planned to go to Taiwan in mid October and stay until the first week of December. Although I may have other plans and activities that are currently not finalized yet. Therefore at this time, I can’t make the commitment in attending the reunion. And even I can make it, I agree with Mali’s proposal that we should pay for our own lounging.
Thanks again for your coordination. Your hard work and effort will definitely be appreciated. I will further keep you updated if I would want to attend.
Warmest Regards,
Ing-Ing

英英,很高興和妳聯絡上,希望透過妳能找到宋陶娜、徐鐵軍等家政系的同學。我費了很大功夫拜託輔大協尋妳們,週二和<畢旅王子>鍾斌在台北見面,才知道妳和維禧早有聯絡。三十五年前,高雄逛完大統百貨後,在某地下道和家政系同學徹夜談心,才有十年之約的倡議,雖遲至今日始付諸行動,但我不曾一日或忘。十一月重聚費用很低,兩人同住一夜,每人不過六百,不用掛意。

Dear Francis,
Thank you for your prompt response. Replying our e-mails must have been keeping you very busy. It’s really amazing that you remembered what we did from 35 years ago. I have no recollections of most of the things you mentioned. The only thing I remembered is we sang our team song “The little lamb wants to go home!” in the darkness with the camp fire on.
Unfortunately our entire class lost the connections with the ladies you mentioned. 陶娜 went to Chicago and I am pretty sure that she was still there in 1982. Have Pi-Mei ever heard of her name if she is still in the area? Yin Shu-Hwa went to Ohio State University in 1977 and I was told that she could be in Canada. Although 鐵軍 is totally parted from us having no connections with any classmate. If it was one of them proposed that we reunited every 10 years, she must be excited to know that the dream finally comes true. It’s really touching to hear that you never forget your promise. In order to payback my appreciation, I will do my best to find the ladies. But no guaranty!
Cheers,
Ing-Ing

若我說我愛你 這就是欺騙了你
若我說我不愛你 這又是違背我心意
昨夜 我想了一整夜
今宵 又難把你忘記
總是不能忘呀 不能忘記你
不能忘記你 這就是愛情 難道這就是愛情
---- The 輔大校園民歌love song I learned from you FJU girls on our way to 溪頭 on 1/26/1976.
Dear Ing-Ing:
You don’t have to thank me! Organizing class reunions for various school stages has long become my low cost hobby and entertainment. --- That was what I told our NTU classmates in our 30th anniversary class reunion in Hualien in 2006.
I remember our 小隊歌---小小羊兒要回家:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h49iQQFFu4g
I also remember very well that in the back seats of the coach on the way to XiTou, you FJU girls told us the love song 愛情 being popular on your campus. Later my wife was fooled when I told her that I made the song for her.
As we were in the same team for the January 1976 trip, I took more pictures for you which could be found in the website:

I used to call 鐵軍 by 徐大姊. She sent a greeting card for my wedding in Houston in 1978, and then we lost contact. She must be found.
Best regards,
Francis

Hi, Ing-Ing,
I don't know Tao-Na. If I saw her name some where before, I don't pay attention to it. If she is from Taipei First Girl High School, maybe I can check aloumni address book. Zang-Yi-Yuan is well known in Chicago. He doesn't know me.
Pi-Mei
2011, 08, 12
Good Morning Pi-Mei,
Thank you for your attention about Tao-Na. She is not from Beinu. Most likely I would have reconnected with her if she is, because our 1972 class has a well organized network that has been kept updated by Peggie Li. I will call her parent’s home in Taipei, hopefully they did not move.
Thanks,
Warm Regards,
Ing-Ing

Dear Eric 詣遠:
Have your wife made up her mind in participating in our Grand Reunion on 11/15? 謝謝你們夫妻提攜作媒,讓我於8/17/2007認識同學會達人林莉,追隨她這「北斗以南(意即天下)第一女」,幾年就辦一場驚天動地的大型聚會活動----她是一年辦好幾場。
In addition to the 11/15 dinner banquet, our ChE Class would have extra 2-day-and-1-night reunion activities in a Taipower Training Center near Wulai on 11/12 and 13. You should be aware of the plan, and I expect that you and your wife would be present in the whole course.
With the lounging flexibility in organizing these activities, I believe that it is a perfect occasion for us to invite those FJU ladies who participated in our graduation tours in 1976 for an enlarged reunion. To them I committed that we were going to do reunions every 10 years. Although for some good reasons I did not keep my promise, I always keep it in my mind.
Now I have found four FJU ladies including 曾碧梅 (PiMei TSENG) from the German Language Department living in your territory. I told her that you are a real estate and hotel/restaurant big shot in Chicago and I could assure that she could get a big discount from you. We also have a clue that 宋陶娜 of the Home Economics Department lived in Chicago before. She is the one I must find. Please use your influence, good or bad, black or white, in Chicago to search for her. Thanks.
Best regards,
Francis

Dear all,
今天早上我與先生已經平安回到北加州。
這趟台灣行真是不虛此行﹕
1. 十月十日在台北101參加朋友六十大壽晚宴,看到了台北美麗繁華的夜景及煙火。
2. 第一次以僑胞/僑團身份參加中華民國一百周年雙十國慶晚會及總統府前的閱兵,內心的澎湃與激動無法言表。記得以前唸書時是多麼地討厭在艷陽下被迫站崗參與閱兵,如今則是大不相同的感受。
3. 十月中旬與呂文芳、方芷芬、曹秀明事隔三十五年再相聚,情誼依舊。非常謝謝秀明大老遠特地從高雄趕來。也謝謝文芳兄的安排及款待,和賜贈貴班的特刊及CDs,讓我滿載而歸。
4. 11/12-11/13 由當年的英俊小生—「范帥」全程買單招待宜蘭兩天一夜之旅,還有高爾夫球友誼賽,令我老公也見識到他的有情有義及慷慨,而我也圓了與化工系遲來的「十年之約」夢。謝謝你們熱情款待並願意接納我成為你們班的班友,而且連我老公也一起沾光。鍾斌說我當年應該報考化工系,但我想自己沒有那麼聰明,一定考不上,還不如混個榮譽班友當當就好。我也很榮幸認識出席同學的美麗賢淑配偶,之中的能人頗多,居然還有聲樂家,曼妙的歌喉為我們的晚會增色不少。我真佩服你們班追女孩的功夫高竿。
另外最令人感動的是,不管大家的容貌變化、人生經歷如何,和職位高低之差異,大家還是以當年讀書時代的真誠赤子之心待人,沒有傲慢與冷漠,只有大度融洽的團聚力。我先生也與我有同感。我想這是你們班與別班最大的不同。好幸福!好令人羨慕!
5. 11/14在福華飯店中餐,給不能參加宜蘭之旅的輔仁女同學及一些化工系男同學有再敘的機會,就像當年有兩次畢業旅行一樣地周到。在此要非常感激鍾斌的籌劃(呂文芳的B計劃),及幫他訂位、訂餐(delicious!)的幕後黑手,還有付錢請客的夏禧平、佩芳夫婦。真是謝謝你們慷慨的招待。
很高興看到當年自稱害羞躲在後面的帥哥夏禧平能找到美麗大方的嬌妻,如今幸福滿滿。還有那天聽到許渝化的維基解密三項之一,例如他是促成當年畢旅時孫運璿先生、蔣經國先生願意過來和我們握手合照的黑手。還有劉理成、顏溪成的私家解密二。還有就是老人痴呆的我竟然忘掉蔡英英是我長春國小、市女中同學。她也是我從小一起長大的宿舍鄰居楊存蕙的好朋友,我們後來經由顏溪成的手機與失聯的楊存蕙通話,因為她和顏溪成在美國認識。
還有林基興居然是我畢業後服務多年的「科學月刊」現任社長。啊!緣份的絲線層層包裹,連結你和我。
哇!這就是多年後務必要參加重聚的最好理由—找回自己失去的記憶力/歷史,找回自己的青春伙伴。
朋友們!再次謝謝你們願意來參加重聚會,願意親切招待同學。還有所傳送的美麗照片及禮物,和細心體貼的生日蛋糕…凡此種種令我心靈充滿幸福感。希望你們也有同感。期待40th? or?聚會?
以後有機會來北加州矽谷/三藩市,別忘了通知一聲。我們 Pleasanton 離隔壁城的酒鄉Livermore (可以媲美Napa酒鄉)很近。
過幾天等我把照片整理好再傳送給你們。
祝大家幸福、惜福
身體健康

班代及鍾斌and All :
謝謝班代及鍾斌費心安排這次(100.11.14)聚會。
很榮幸當年有緣和貴班畢旅,更榮幸於35年後再相聚。
雖然因故無法全程參與原先安排的行程,這次的安排,讓大家有機會再聚,可謂非常圓滿。
我在想,若早一點實踐約定,是否就沒這麼多自己無法掌握的因素出現?
畢業十年,我在哪裡?我剛唸輔大哲研所碩士班一年級。
畢業二十年,我在做什麼?在苦思博士論文題目,不得其解。
畢業三十年,我正要離校換跑道。我雖是創校元老,也一手創建通識中心;但那年我正要離開-雖然從沒想過要離開,但「世事總在意料之外進行」!
畢業三十五年的我,曾歷經兩次生命的關卡,到醫大服務,對我來說似乎是必然。來此已近六年,接到你們「尋人啟事」時,我正抓緊時間備課,常無瑕細讀你們的來信,也引起一些可避免的誤會,真是抱歉和遺憾。
35年來我的路線,已超出中文系所範圍,付出的代價也很大。若能重新來過,定不作此選擇!
11.14當天看到諸兄妻賢子孝、幸福安泰,讓人愉悅;這不是一般人能擁有的,千萬要惜福!
35年不見,當天的聚會就顯得短促,也體會到班代為何當初要安排兩天一夜的時空 ! 所以諸兄仍是當年「做事有計畫、有效率、有心要做好一件事」者,我沒有說錯,但顯然我辜負了你們。深感抱歉之至!
11.14我在給班代的畢業紀念小冊上補寫:35年!感謝上蒼:我們都還活著、也都珍惜約定,更有緣再相聚;不知這次的聚首,是另為一個序幕的開始 ?
35年前,我曾寫下:
感謝上蒼的厚愛,五夜六日的畢旅使我難忘,
令我認識了許多純、美、善的朋友。
難忘的畢旅 :
花蓮海濱,夜拾水晶;
梨山亭台,邀星起舞;
溪頭竹林,夜訪幽境;
高雄大統,流連忘返;
榕榕暢談,十年之約。
35年後,我要說 :
我們要珍惜這緣份!
再次感謝班代及鍾斌費心安排這次聚會。
很榮幸見到:
班代夫婦、夏禧平(白佩芳)夫婦、鍾斌(趙金鶯)夫婦、
趙瑪麗(徐啟鴻)夫婦、許渝化、章詣遠、劉理成、區伯全、
顏溪成教授、蔡英英、芳芷芬等諸位好友。
個個事業有成、家庭幸福美滿、子女皆為俊秀、前途不可限量。
敬祝 聖誕快樂
並賀新禧
