[I took this photo of Arma-Lee and her mom in Sept. of 2008 as her mom desired to come to Moloka’i for her birthday and visit the settlement of Kalaupapa. Photo taken at Paddlers Inn which closed down for business a week ago with 26 employees……]Aloha Kakahiaka Braddah Roy and Faithy aka, The Hui O Horners, Thank you for the wonderful updates and pictures….I new that I wanted to be there and I couldn’t but your sharing with me and others sure helps me to feel a little connection to all that was experienced…missed opportunity…..I am certainly looking forward to whatever comes first……. Be it 60th or 45th… or maybe we need to celebrate the end of the 50’s.. Like our 59th Birthdays. After that the 60’s truly is beginning of a new era for all of us. I can’t event imagine being 60….. but now that my mom has passed on and I am that eldest generation….Kupuna standings are mine….we need to keep linked to our past and truly wonderful friendships… You have all done a marvelous job of staying connected and I’m sorry that I have allowed myself to be disconnected…..but there is no time like the present and better late than never…… Thank you so much for all of your love and energy……you are great appreciated and I look forward to my 3 updates daily…..have a blessed day……….Love, Arma-Lee
[Bobby Lu with her life long friends Donnette and Haunani……mahalo for sharing your thoughts with us Bobby Lu………awesome] Bobby Lu writes... Aloha Roy! Received your message! Yikes! Reflections? You know me. I always have a wonderful time with my classmates! Never enough time to do it all. Totally enjoyed all of the activities that Kamehameha planned. Manu Boyd gave a presentation on chanting and the history of hula etc. Kamehameha's archivist was passionate about her job. She loves Kamehameha and said that this school and all that it stands for is our sovereignty. I never thought about Kamehameha in that way. The Taste of Kamehameha, Talent Night, Class Night, the Luau, Shopping,etc.etc.etc. Great, great activities with wonderful people. Too many good times to reflect on. It's like what my husband always tells people. "You cannot imagine what Bobby's classmates mean to each other. It's a cultural thing that is unique. No one will ever experience what these classmates experience every time they get together."Love you Roy and Faithy! Nancy and Janice. Thank you for all that you do. The Musicians - What a gift! you guys are the best!!!!!!!!! George, take a picture of your mini's.
