"Grandpa,tell me bout
when you
got married."
"Okay, my
little crack
seed. When
me n your
grandma
got married,
your Grandpa
Dougie Suan
sang a George
Benson song,
"Everything
Must Change'.
He must have
thought that
it was appropriate.
And then Grandmas Marleen, Marcialani, and Jojette sang
"Hokulea". That also was appropriate cuz we were all headed
toward a trip with no modern navigating instruments. Just
wish they also sang "Maxwell Namunamu". That would have
completed the journey. We had responsible people working the
bar so that there would be nobody getting drunk...Pops Wong,
Adam Medrano, Grandpa Ritchie...all responsible drinkers. The
best part was when your Grandma's family invited the whole
softball team of Kanaks to come. Good thing they had their good
softball uniforms on. Yup....that was a good fun reception."

Hey...you need to show the shoes you were wearing...the homage to John Lennon. Surprised you didn't have your transistor radio (our gen's version of the iPod) earplug tuned to the Raiders game...but we won't tell your kids about that one, eh?
Yup, Roy marries one of the 3 Aiea Sis Ts (Medrano's CBS had Toi, Tui and Taa back then). Next to go was Billy (whom you had the nerve to call Love Boat for missing Halawa on Sundays), then Willy...next thing you know all the twentysomethings were married. Oh, and to settle this once and for all, the jumpsuit was brown, not blue...like you've been telling everybody for the last 30 years.
Still, every day off was an excuse to go to Chong Man's for fakebooks and eats.
Didn't that all happen just yesterday?
In my mind, I can still see that
blue jumpsuit. Is he a pilot? Is
he a mechanic? Is he an astronaut?
Is he from the future? He must be,
cuz he's playing Santana and Wild
Cherry on a Fender Strat. YUP, it
was blue. Sky Blue actually.
I wish I had a camera so I can prove it.....
The cool thing about jump suits is
you're always ready for skydiving...and if it's blue, you
kind of blend in to the background.
Sky Blue....I wish it was brown.
If only....
Never mind the suit color.
Happy Anniversary and many more.
