They were greeted warmly by Pres. Chang Horng-jinh and two V.P.s of TKU: Drs. Feng Chao-kang and Flora C.I. Chang. As both Dr. Flora Chang and Dr. Caroline Turner went to the same university to do graduate studies, they felt especially warm and closer while they had had this opportunity to have a class reunion in Taiwan.
