Two striking happenings to be remembered always

On February 24, 2007 Agnes left this mundane world as a great loss of Shieh family with profound sorrow for all folks. Today is the six-month anniversary of such an occasion to be remembered with prayers for the repose of her soul.

On August 24, 1947, Francis Shieh left Shanghai on SS General Gordon to come to the United States for advanced studies at USF. Today is the 60th anniversary. Chinese expression goes for saying of turning every sixty years as a cycle of remembrance for such an event.

The following acronyms would serve as my dedication of the above: -
F - as Francis and F as Fortitude in English i.e. resolute and steadfast and Pin Yin for "Jian ren"/"gang yi" in the pursuit of knowledge ad infinitum.
S - as Shieh for Spirit in English or"Jing shen" in Pin Yin for Chinese romanization to remember Agnes ad infinitum.

Your kind comments would be greatly appreciated. August 24, 2007 at 6.56 p.m.
