On Labor Day weekend, we had two parties: one in my house, and one in Wenzheng’s house, for HAU alumni in Houston area.

And we had two guests of honor from other regions: Xiaochun Zhou (78, Genetics) from Los Angeles, and Hong Luo (78, Genetics), from Temple, Texas (3 hours driving distance). The HAU alumni attendees in Houston area include me (79, Vet Medicine), Xiaomei Zhang (79, Vet Medicine) and Rong Cai (HAU faculty) couple, Wenzheng Zhang (78, Genetics), Fangming Xie and Luman Zhao couple (both are 77, Agr). Nan Zhang (77, Vet Medicine) was not able to come due to lobster allergies in a friend’s house, and Jinke Chen (79, Vet Medicine) was absent because of pre-arranged family vacation. We had a Ping Pong contest and a Poker contest. I was at second place for the first round of Poker contest, Fangming was in the first place. Those who were the last had the pleasure to go under the small table in Wenzheng’s house. I was probably at fourth place for Ping Pong contest (I might have ranked myself a little higher because I figures nobody would find out, and we did not get the final rank due to reasons I prefer not to disclose). I am aiming to get to third place in Ping Pong contest at Christmas time, so I just hired a private Ping Pong Coach. For the Poker contest, I know it was pure luck for me to be the second, I will not be surprised if I have to go under the table at Christmas time, since I just can not remember what is already on the table and what is still in everybody’s hands. Please see the attached picture and see if you recognize any of us, if you happen to know some of us in HAU about 20 years ago.
