Old Frees to drive to England

Honouring the past: Saw viewing a sticker on one of the pick-up trucks to be used for the convoy.

GEORGE TOWN: It will be a long drive, but for a group of Old Frees and their spouses, the journey will be made with much vigour and joy.

Thirty of them are driving about 20,000km from Penang Free School to Dittisham in England, where the school’s founder Rev Robert Sparke Hutchings (1782-1827) was born.
