    THE HONGKONG AND SHANGHAI HOTELS, LIMITED 2 March 2016 THE HONGKONG AND SHANGHAI HOTELS, LIMITED CELEBRATES ITS 150th ANNIVERSARY IN 2016 The Hong Kong-based parent company of The Peninsula Hotels, The Peak Tram, Peak Tower and Repulse Bay Complex, celebrates 150 years of tradition well served. HONG KONG 2 March, 2016: The distinguished heritage of The Hongkong and Shanghai Hotels, Limited (HSH) reaches a new milestone today as HSH celebrates its 150th anniversary. Originally incorporated on 2 March 1866 as The Hongkong Hotel Company, Limited, HSH was one of the first companies to be listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and is currently the oldest registered company on the Hong Kong Companies Registry. For a century and a half, the compelling story of HSH has been closely tied to its city of origin, Hong Kong. Whilst evolving to meet the changing times at home and abroad, HSH has never lost respect for its past and its heritage, and it continually strives to emulate the standards of service and style that earned it the accolade of “The Far East’s leading hotel company”. The concept of “Tradition well served” remains fundamental to HSH’s approach. “Tradition is taking account of a wonderful history, but remembering that everybody today looks to the future. It is important not to forget that the future is built on the past, and we have a great legacy,” said The Hon. Sir Michael Kadoorie, Chairman of HSH. “We believe that our rich history gives us a fuller understanding of our shared identity, culture and values, enabling us to manage change responsibly, to safeguard the best of the past and to keep innovating to meet the demands of the next generation.” Today, the HSH legacy encompasses a diverse portfolio of assets worth HK$44.2 billion1 including ten Peninsula Hotels around the world, The Peak Tram, The Peak Tower and The Repulse Bay Complex in Hong Kong.

  • Lucy Luck Stefan Inducted Into the U
    Lucy Luck Stefan Inducted into the U. S. Ballooning Hall of Fame August 2, 2009 Born March 15, 1923 in St. Paul Minnesota Lucy’s interest, love and enthusiasm for flying probably began when she was eight years old when her oldest brother bought her a ride on an airplane at World Chamberlain Airport in Minneapolis. At an early age, her Dad described Lucy as a "Sparkplug". To her siblings she was "Sparky” and she still is!!! And she is definitely a “Sparkplug” in the history of ballooning. As one of the early women aeronautical engineering students at the university in Minnesota, she met Professor Jean Piccard and his balloonist wife Jeanette Piccard. Professor Piccard became one of her college professors. During her ballooning activities she flew with Tony Fairbanks in Philadelphia and met Tracy Barnes in Minneapolis and got to know such notable balloonists as Malcolm Forbes, Dewey Reinhart, Bertrand Piccard and Eddie Allen. Her Commercial Pilot, Lighter-Than-Air, Free Balloon License (limited to hot air balloons, with or without airborne heaters) is dated October 31, 1973. She received this in the early days of ballooning when all you had to do was sign your name on the license. She received her fixed wing aircraft pilot’s license when she was 40 years old, and has been around ballooning for fifty years. She was never actually a balloon pilot, but was a crew member and an observer for many years. Lucy has flown in both gas and hot air balloons. Her most spectacular flights were three that she had in Switzerland flying over the Swiss Alps and landing twice in Germany and once in Italy.

    CIA Newsletter Autumn 2018 2018 Edition Written by CIA Secretary, Paolo Oggioni With contributions from: Mark Sullivan, Claude Weber, Hans Åkerstedt, David Bareford, Ségolène Rouillon, Garry Lockyer, Markus Haggeney FAI – FEDERATION AERONAUTIQUE INTERNATIONALE – THE WORLD AIR SPORTS FEDERATION President’s Column By Mark Sullivan This was a busy year for the Ballooning Commission in regard to Category 1 events. This year we held three World Championship events and the 62nd Coupe Gordon Bennett. In addition to our World Hot Air Balloon Championship, we held our 4th Junior World Championship and the 3rd Women’s World Championship. All three World Championship events were held in very small communities, with the smallest having a population of only 2500. I find it amazing these three small communities could find the support and sponsorship to host a major Championship and do such a great job. Poland hosted two of these events and Austria one event. We helped support two international youth camps this year. One was held in Europe and the other one was held in Brazil. Over one half of the participants in this year’s Junior World Championship had previously attended a youth camp supported by the CIA. Our technical committee is in the process of implementing our new 2nd generation logger system. This new system is capable of doing a lot more than our present system and many events are looking forward to using it at their event. We are confident that our substantial investment into this new project will make a good financial return. Our 1st logger program paid back our investment in five years and is still making money! We need to continue to develop new Event Directors and senior staff.
