On the 6th June, the town of Otaki was a very noisy one for acountry town as two Jungsen people had a double celebration that night. Back on the 7th June 1949 Jack Young 諗沛 from Pindi 桷芭village and Patsy Ng 秦諗槢
from Ngar Yiew 磉⩊ tied the knot at a wedding with 600 guests and now 60 years later they are cele-brating their diamond wedding anniversary at the same time as Patsy’s 80th birthday.
The couple had picked Levin as the town to bring up a family and opened a gift shop in 1953 called
Young’s Gift Shop. Here, they brought up their family and opened another shop in Foxton later on whichPatsy ran until her retirement. Family and friends from all over New Zealand and some from overseas all
headed to Otaki to celebrate the double anniversary. Jack and Patsy are very keen dancers – in ballroom
and sequence dancing and on that night, the grandchildren put on exhibitions of martial arts, modern dance and Jennifer Lim a New Zealand representative at the salsa dancing world championships,performed for her grandparents and guests. Jack now spends a lot of time with sequence dance groups he helped establish in both Otaki
and Levin. Patsy loves watching soap operas on television and also loves dancing. Their lives revolve around their family and their love of dancing. www.tungjung.org.nz/images/stories/newsletters/2009/Summer_2009.pdf
