From the Coconut Wireless

Heard from Peter Gonsalves today that Heather Guigni was at the inauguration on Tuesday. I'll see if I can connect with her and get an interview. It would be interesting to get her thoughts on what she experienced in DC. I followed KITV's reports on Obama's Punahou classmates who made the trek to inauguration. I imagined how overwhelming it was to watch your classmate become President of the United States. I wondered how many of us would go to DC for that. Probably a lot.

Heard from Laureen Kim, who is president of KSAA Northern California. The board of presidents are gathered on Maui for their quarterly meeting...... Also saw Bobette Fernandez Baucom's FaceBook page saying that it was snowing in Charlotte, NC, where she lives..... Joe Lapilio is on the Board of Directors at Ho`omau Ke Ola (substance abuse center in Waianae),
Hawaii Technology Institute and the Association of Hawaiian Civic Clubs (currently president of the Oahu Council)...... Kuule'i Bender Ho is still working for KS on Kaua'i. Joe Ahuna is planning to take his traveling family of Ahuna's on the road this spring, covering Utah, Kansas and Missouri between May 21 and June 8th....Aukake Dapitan is celebrating his wife, Peg's birthday today.....Patrick Richardson spent the Thanksgiving Holiday in Egypt with his wife, Viv and children David and Maile. Will try to post some pictures of Pat riding on a camel!
