Re: No 9
Thanks for writing Chris, I enjoy reading these memories of how the huts have been used over the years.

Contacting the Goodfellow family
Dear Chris,
I am the current Director of the Hong Kong Observatory. I am delighted to come across your post mentioning your father, Mr Heywood and the huts on Sunset Peak.
You might be interested to know that the Observatory installed a weather station near the huts in the 1990s for monitoring windshear at the Chek Lap Kok airport and we had interacted with the residences/owners of the huts regarding the installation. But we did not realize that these huts were related to colleagues of the Observatory until I found out from the family of Mr Heywood. Veronica, the younger daughter of Director Heywood, visited us last year when we celebrated the 130th anniversary of the Observatory. I also wrote a blog about Mr Heywood (http://www.hko.gov.hk/blog/en/archives/00000136.htm) - your parents appeared on a staff photograph taken when Mr Heywood retired from service.
I hope you would read this post and would appreciate if you contact me since I am very much interested in connecting with retired colleagues and their descendants. So far I am able to contact the descendants of ex-Directors Charles Jeffries, Graham Heywood, Ian Watts, Gordon Bell and John Peacock. I am sure you know many of them as you mentioned.
Best regards, CM Shun
