I can’t thank you enough for the interview you did with me. It is a treasured account, big parts of which I would have forgotten in the sweep of time. Someday Voices of Hawaiʻi will be a valuable resource. Yours is an art - making reflection work. Mahalo for the valuable niche you so graciously fulfill … not only for the work that you do, but the way that you do it.
Please don’t publish my weight, SS#, or dessert preferences, Jane, but everything else is open season for the historical record. I am thoroughly supportive of your project, which offers a rare, first person vignette of life in an interlocking world. Hostile social media can make poison from purity, so I give that no thought, and rely heavily on “consider the source.”
