Sotto Poet January 9, 2023 at 9:08 AM The movie was great, and the song made me long for a simpler time in our history. Remarkably, you were a friend to all of your classmates. Congratulations on your contest win dear, William. William Kelii Kekaula January 9, 2023 at 9:24 AM Yes, I was my classmate's friend--so was my homework that circled our classroom? Sigh. Lasaad, in simpler days they were my friend, thanks and Aloha William

Ann Peck January 7, 2023 at 3:32 PM How nice you were in the class. I loved both the movie and song--from a more gentle time in our world. William Kelii Kekaula January 7, 2023 at 4:10 PM Oh, chuckles, my dear Ann, though I graduated two years younger than my shocked schoolmates, I was 10 when I saw the movies with my older siblings--love it still my friend, Aloha William
