I was horrified to hear the news from Chirstchurch and saddened to know Brian, teachers, staffs and other people who were missing from this tragedy. We know Brian for many years and have been visiting his school with a group of Thai students. Brian is very nice, kind, friendly and well-taken care of us. He will be stayed in our heart and mind ever and ever. We would like to express our deepest sorry to Prue Taylors and everyone who lost their beloved. Our thoughts are now with everyone there.

I worked for Kings Education in 2006. The staff showed great qualities of compassion and humility and were fantastic people to work with. My sympathies go out to all those affected by this tragedy, and my thoughts and prayers are particularly for Elsa, Tetaki and Brian at this difficult time.

I am at such a loss to know what to say.
i had the pleasure of meeting all of those staff memebers many times on my visits to King's over the years.
Particularly Elsa- who was such a wonderful, quirky and dedicated ELT teacher.
My sincerest condolences to their families.
I can only imagine how hard it must be for you all.
Cry a lot, hug a lot- and be there to support each other.

gloria (Riverside, US) says...

Even though many perished in the quake, they will not be forgotten. It saddens us that they were at the wrong time and at the wrong place, even as Eccl.9:11 says, time and unforseen occurence befall us all. We find true comfort though in Jesus' promise that, one day they will come out and hear his voice . Acts 24:15 says there is a resurrection of the righteous and the unrighteous. I look forward to seeing all of them in the new system of things.

I am so terribly sad to read this news. I got to know Brian when he was at Science Alive and had the honor of working with him on a couple of projects when I was at the CA Science Center and through ASTC. He was a remarkable person and I will miss him. My heart goes out to his family and colleagues for your loss. I am truly sorry.

Mrs Lia Harca was my English teacher during 1990-1994 high school (Nicolae Balcescu, Craiova), an wonderful teacher, to whom I owe most part of the English I know today. May GOD do a miracle!
