Frances Lam
Current NameFrances Wong City of residenceVancouver OccupationExecutive Assistant to President & CEO WorkplaceWestern Forest Products Marital statusCommon-law Children2 I've been an EA to the President & CEO for over 25+ years for interesting companies such as Siemens Hong Kong, Canon Canada, Murchie's Tea & Coffee and many others. My favourite job was in the advertising industry working for Michael Morgan & Associates for 12 years. I guess I followed my dream in my yearbook spiel. Through that job I've worked with David Suzuki and David Foster, producing syndicated radio programs. Remember back in the heyday of radio?! I remember during high school how much I loved AM radio. Nowadays, I love to travel with my partner. Last year, we were in Paris living like true Parisians in a quaint apartment in the Saint-Germain area. I was thrilled to climb up to the Notre Dame tower to stand in the actual bell tower. Hopefully the restorations to that monument after the fire will be as beautiful as ever in its grandeur. My favourite cities are Paris and New York. After living & working in Hong Kong for 8 years, my kids picked up the Chinese language and so did I! It was hilarious when I would go into a local restaurant and ask my 8 year old daughter what was on the menu. Kids are grown adults now and it's wonderful to just enjoy life. These days, I'm on the back of my guy's Harley-Davidson enjoying the sunsets when we ride. Looking forward to seeing you all and catching up with life!

I also enjoy getting out on a golf course for a stroll in the park and finally I enjoy spending time with the grandkids. Hoping to have more grandkids.

Janet Ma
Current NameJanet Wong City of residenceBurnaby OccupationOffice Manager WorkplaceCentro Dental Marital statusMarried Children2 As all of us are moving through the next phase of our lives... wrinkles, grey hair and few extra pounds. Our wisdom and experience gained in raising our beautiful daughters, Rachael and Kelsie, running the households, paying bills and nursing loved ones back to health. Blessed for Herman and I having the opportunities assigned... in good times and in challenging times, our journey travelled and memories gained. Memories are my investment banked in spending time with family and friends, travelling, tasting, seeing the world. In the past years, Thailand and Japan were the best of Asia we’ve been but having visited London, Barcelona, Florence, Napoli, Rome and Paris last month on a cruise, Europe has forever be imprinted. In our Year Book, I wrote that I want to become a Millionaire by 20 and travel to Greece. I can honestly say, after 40 years, I can only make one of these ... Greece will be my next journey to check off my bucket list.
Kenny Law
Current NameKen Law City of residenceSan Jose, California OccupationSoftware Engineer WorkplaceA Software Startup Marital statusMarried Children2 Like Forrest Gump said, "Life is like a box of chocolate. You never know what you're gonna get." I never imagined that I became a software engineer creating applications to help electronics companies worldwide to design computer chips. Also, I am blessed to have a wonderful wife and two amazing children, one in university and the other in high school. If I am not working, I help coach kids in various science topics. Thus far, my box contains some wonderful pieces of chocolate. Hope everyone else have magnificent pieces of chocolate too.
Sonny Wong
Current NameSonny Wong City of residenceVancouver OccupationMarketing Creative Director WorkplaceHamazaki Wong Marketing Group Marital statusMarried Children2 girls, 1 dog I am a busy-body and do too many things for work, community, and life improvement (other people's lives, not mine!). I guess I feel I have a responsibility to make things better in many ways, especially bringing awareness to our climate crisis and how we can mitigate its impact for future generations. I am a road bike enthusiast having done a few Whistler GranFondo's and Rides to Conquer Cancer. I don't think I'll ever retire.
Suzie Chin
Current NameSuzie Mah City of residenceVancouver OccupationSecondary Teacher WorkplaceVancouver Learning Network Marital statusmarried Children Well, 58 years later people are still spelling my first name incorrectly! My childhood dream of becoming a teacher came true and I've been employed by the Vancouver School Board for over 30 years. In between starting teaching and teaching today, I also was president of the Vancouver Elementary School Teachers' Association as well as serving a year as a Member at Large for the BC Teachers' Federation. Current interests include travel, photography, singing in choirs and karaoke, and volunteering for local festivals. Unfortunately, I did not marry that young rich guy, but I am happily married to a man that I met on the first day of Grade 12. Guess who that is?
