Wouldn't it be something if we were in the same class but never knew? My best friend then was an African American girl named Jackie Baker. Does that ring a bell with you? Or Rosemary Barnwell? We lived at 7-B Kamakani Place. You? :-)Zoomiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16474153316588551039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5732224038883472327.post-14258426441699558692011-02-09T16:57:33.676-08:002011-02-09T16:57:33.676-08:00Wow!

The pronunciations of the Hawaiian words on the GPS are *completely* off, and don't even make sense in English! You'd soon get the hang of it - and isn't it nice to know the computers can't rule the world until they learn to pronounce Hawaiian words?Zoomiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16474153316588551039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5732224038883472327.post-85223842597885915962011-02-08T16:26:15.394-08:002011-02-08T16:26:15.394-08:00I could never live in Hawaii.
