I was fortunate to see Mr Lu a few years ago, when retired ORHS history teacher Mr Ewan (!) hosted a public showing of his outdoor model train setup at his Atco home. Mr Lu showed up, as they were good friends. Our '67 classmate Joyce Matthews Scheller was there too.

If I understood him correctly, Mr Lu played basketball alongside the Celtics great Bill Russell during his time at the University of San Francisco.

Growing up in coal country (Shenandoah, Schuylkill County PA), Mr Lu said he remembered people kept pieces of rope as souvenirs that had been used for  hanging miners during union troubles, and that always astonished him.

Rest in peace, Mr Lu.

An exceptional teacher and human being.  Godspeed Mr. Lu...
