Dr Hanner,
This is Andrew Wong, one of your students way back in the years from 1991 to 1993. Back then, I was a student on the work scholarship program and for the first year, I was with Gary Osborn in the Public Relations Dept.
Years and years have flown by and I am so happy I found this site. From what I have read, you sound well, happy and still on fire serving Christ the King of Kings !!! And I still recall your very contagious laughter.
I also certainly remember how much you have blessed me in every way. So has your dear wife Regina. Kindly convey my sincere greetings all the way from the tiny island of Singapore !!
And Amanda. 3 grandchildren for you now. I don’t think she will remember me but I recall being very kindly invited by your family to your staff housing (can’t remember the name now) for a near Christmas time dinner. You were busy with the Christmas tree then. Precious memories indeed !!
Heeeeeeeeey Andrew! Sure I remember and really great to hear from you my friend. We had great times at CFNI and miss the many students and friends from those days.
