The Pacific Rim Conference originally started with one research
concentration only - binary star research. The first Conference was
held in Beijing, China, 1985, the second one in Seoul and Taejon,
South Korea, 1990 and the third one in Chiang Mai, Thailand, 1995.
In recent years, the conference series evolved into a much broader
area of stellar astrophysics. The first such conference was held in
Hong Kong in 1997. Kwong-Sang Cheng, a. k. a. one of the three
Musketeers, documented the "accidental" development in writing in
the Proceedings of the 1997 Pacific Rim Conference on Stellar
Astrophysics (Volume 138 of the ASP Conference Series)! The meeting
at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology covered three
major topics: binary stars, compact stars and solar type stars. The
conference was extremely successful. There was a general feeling
among the participants that the conference on stellar astrophysics
provided a good means to share ideas between such closely related
disciplines. Unfortunately after the very successful meeting at
HKST, Kwing L. Chan (another Musketeer) thought that he had already
served and would not like to chair for another LOC for at least
five years! After a few drinks at one of the watering holes in Wan
Chai district of Hong Kong, Kwong-Sang Cheng was in very hiRh
spirit and volunteered to taking on the responsibility of hosting
the 51 Pacific Rim Conference at Hong Kong University in 1999.
