1999: Rev. Pearson returns to Ghana for Prempeh College Golden Jubilee. He is seen here with Senior Yaw Manu Sarpong, one of the pioneer students of 1949, who went on to serve as Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Ghana.

The two men are happily reunited.

The Headmaster, his deputy, Prempeh boys and guest female students welcome Rev. Pearson and his son Keith.

At the Manhyia Palace, the new Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II and his elders hosted the Reverend and Keith. The King gave him a small wooden stool as a gift and said, "I know I don't have to explain the significance of the stool to you, Reverend."

He visited the Kumasi Golf Course and interacted with the operators of that facility.

Amanfoo showed him the site of the Opoku Ware House.

The Opoku Ware House is named for the man who helped with the establishment of the school. A land-surveyer and lawyer by profession, the then heir-apparent, Mathew Opoku (Asantehene Opoku ware II) was the one who cleared the vegetations on that nerve-racking hill (Sofoline). He surveyed and prepared the land for the architects. It is interesting to note that the Headmaster, whose heart collapsed in December 1952, and was not expected to live that long, outlived not only his friend the King (Prempeh II, reigned 1930-1970) but also his successor (Opoku Ware II, reigned 1970-1999).
