Being a former resident of Maui I wanted to leave a comment and say I was in shock and disbelief about the devastating fire in Lahaina. We lived there in 1980 to ‘84. The happiest years of my life. Maui no ka oi. Aloha, SuZ

TS, your writing is truly exquisite. I was informed about the devastating fire that ravaged Maui, and now, thanks to your heartfelt poetic rendition, I am able to fully immerse myself in this touching story.

They've named schools, built roads and constructed statues to King Kamehameha. A true Hawaiian hero. Fine tribute, T.S. Mahalo, Robert

I just got this. Thanks for the "Mahalo" I just learned Aloha is to move in head to head and take the same breath. When I was young I heard a lot more of him. But it's a culture all it's own.

I admit it, I had to Google it. Nice presentation with a lesson to be learned. A good one my friend.
