Aloha…
I was still living on the island of Maui… scheduled to fly to the mainland in a few hours… my phone rang… it was my oldest daughter calling me from California…
“Dad… I don’t think that you are going anywhere today… please turn on your t/v”…
So like millions of others… I watched the incredible destruction and loss of life when the planes slammed into the twin towers…
Hours later when I went outside… the thing I noticed first… was that there were not any planes in the air… a very eerie feeling… as that is the only way to both get to Hawaii… and go from island to island…
Living on Maui… one is very much aware of the events of Pearl harbor during the month of December, 1941… and because of that… the emotional impact was even greater… because we didn’t know what else would transpire that day…
Well the rest is history…
Aloha oe…
