Our small group (4) of North Pointers were very happy to have the
honour of having Fr Van in our city. During the relatively short time 3
days Bap Kesang put together a program which allowed Fr Van to get a
good feeling of the city and the surrounding countryside- fortunately we
had good weather. It was my first meeting with Fr Van since I left
school the month before he joined NP in January 1952. However Bap Kesang,
Chhimi Rigzing and Pem Namgyal the other North Pointers knew him
well.
