From Maui With Love

America had a King
and we all know his name
He wasn't king in England
and he wasn't king in Spain
He ruled with in our borders
And with majesty he did reign
King Kamehameha
He was known by his name

Suzanne Delaney Date: 1/4/2024 4:59:00 PM 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 Login to Reply

Mahalo, Robert Login to Reply The Situation Date: 8/24/2023 10:46:00 AM 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.
