IT'S ALOHA FRIDAY -June 12

Aloha. I am sending a short, “It’s Aloha Friday” message tonight (Thurs) because Faithy and I will be off island from tomorrow morning. (Grandson made the Little League All Stars so we going watch) So… last comments of Alumni Week.

Mostly everyone went to bed early on Saturday night, and that is about 1145pm to about 130am…. In the morning, a woman playing a uke walked down the halls and sang, “Good Morning, Aloha…kakahiaka….”…She had a beautiful voice but I don’t know who she was.

By 6:30am, people were loading up their cars outside of the dorm. Our room was all cleaned and cleared by 715am….Yes, early. We said some good byes, hung around a little while…..Then we thought we go to the Memorial Chapel….”hello…..Faithy and I were the first in the parking lot.” Only the maintenance people were there cleaning the yard, weedwhacking, blowing the leaves…Food Service came in, brought juice, water, coffee and some nibbles.

We pretty much sat in the same area as a class. Pat and Pam represented us by reading the names of those who have passed on. We all stood up while the names were read. George Ferreira’s sister Gretchen and her son Alika sat with us.

This was the final event for Alumni Week.

We had to leave before the closing hymn and prayer in order to return our vehicle and check in on time for our travel back to Moloka’i.

Faith had a three day girls camp that started on Tuesday morning. I had a friend’s daughter’s luau on that Tuesday, and preparation for an Eagle Scout Court of Honor which was held tonight. We busy…even though we live here.

Pat and Pammy Nakoa read the names of our beloved classmates who have passed on.
