I remembered Bro Patrick well as he was our principal when I started to attend La Salle in Primary 5C at the Path Street barracks. He normally took his inspection around the classroom block every now and then. If any of us boys were send standing outside the classroom, he would order us back, kneeled at the teacher’s platform and gave us a good wick with his cane.
However, from the reflection of the double swing windows of the classroom corridor we could see him coming. If we could inform Bald Head Yuen in time. Yuen might call us back to sit down to avoid his punishment.
I was baptise then and he told me that I should use his name as my Christian name.
He never wore socks, we could see his pale red skin of his feet all the time. That’s why we called him ‘Red foot cock’.
