'1314' spot on re.Mr FONG's 'firsts'-possibly I was the 'first' 'trainee Insp'(at Police Training School/Oct 1966) to receive a 'two week confinement to school' from him-for breaches of school discipline.Taught me early on what was the 'correct way'-helped me no end,and I had the opportunity to tell him so a year or two later....
