Hi,
My name is Mark Strong, a graduate of the class of ’69. I just felt compelled to add to the stories of Korliss and Kandy Falk. Our respective families knew each other before coming to Bangkok. We all lived in Okinawa. I could tell a dozen stories to let all know how great the Falks were. The ones that strike closest have to do with typhoons striking the island. The Falks were military and had well built housing. We were not, so it was up in the air (almost literally). They would invite us over to stay until the storms passed. I can say I saw trash cans and cars flying down the roads on more than one occasion. Us kids would go out and try to skateboard uphill. One time the wind really picked up speed and the girls couldn’t walk against it! I was the only short and fat enough to make any progress against it. Now remember this is ~56 years ago so I may be exaggerating my contribution.
Korliss and Kandy were both kind, fun loving, and considerate human beings and I feel honored to have been able to call them friends.

Harry Patterson ~ F-Faculty
Arrived ~ 3/22/1940
Departed ~ 6/7/2024
Teachers like Harry are hero’s (or is that heros). Harry was my Calculus teacher in my Senior year at the old campus on soi 15 (1978-79). He convinced me to keep going when I was just about ready to give up and drop out of the class. I couldn’t understand Calculus, but with his help, it finally clicked in my brain. I got a B at the end of the semester. Thank you Harry!
RIP Harry. You were a class act and a wonderful teacher.
Pat was truly a mainstay of ISB. May he rest in peace with George, Bob and others of our ISB times together.
A truly wonderful teacher. God bless
Sad to hear. He was a great teacher. RIP
He was so kind. So sorry to hear
Interesting that Anh Mather who Pat described as his ‘best math student—-ever’ died only a month before Pat.
Warm memories of our years as colleagues. R.I.P., Pat. Sincere condolences extended to his family.
