Chun Yee Hop at Masonic meeting



Here's a photo of Chun Yee Hop at the Masonic. He is holding his first born boy William. He's at the back left (excluding the person in the shadow).

On his right is Wallem (not sure of spelling) the butcher who used to have a shop in Vivian Street. Back right is Wallen's son.

To his right is my father Chung Ying who took over the herbalist shop in Tory St (now the site of Il Casino)

Front left is Wallen's grandson.



When I opened the frame to scan the Masonic photo I found this photo!
