Mahalo for Memorial Day services

Memorial Day at West Hawaii Veterans Cemetery was just so special. A big mahalo to DAV Kona and all those who made this happen. We are also pleased to have the POW/MIA Memorial Garden where we can remember my brother, MIA Korea.

A nice reminder

What a great column (Dennis Gregory’s Making Waves column “The amazing place we live”) published on Friday! I needed a reminder of how lucky I live Kona!!! (Even if the vog is awful right now.)

Aloha and mahalo, Dennis.

Happy retirement to Kealakehe High principal

Principal Murakami is retiring this summer. He brought the Habits of Mind (15 success strategies) to our school, and I wrote an Aloha ‘oe poem for him.

Congrats Wil on 50 years

You’ve overcome all your fears

Order and Love are now in your life

As you enjoy these with your wife

Many of us do daily find

Value in the Habits of Mind

Rigor is the talk of the day

Especially in the month of May

The GLO’s glow in the sun

Instilling thinking that is fun

Your employment is unforgettable

Retirement will be happy and incredible.
