Fr Coogan celebrates 90th birthday
KOTA KINABALU – Father Brian Coogan is back this time round, to celebrate his 90th birthday at the encouragement of his old boys on Feb 6, 2014. Beloved of his students who have been tirelessly working to bring him back at any opportune moment, he has yet to disappoint them to their delight.
Sharp as ever his memory, though he begged to differ in his still workable Hakka “ Ngai how lau!” (I am really very old), he obliged Catholic Sabah regaling his days when he first arrived the shores of Borneo as a freshly ordained young priest of 23 years of age.
