I was informed of this last week, but kept it quiet out of respect for John and his family. However, this "Breaking News" headline just came across from the Honolulu Advertiser:

JOHN KOKO OF THE MAKAHA SONS HOSPITALIZED

When we saw him in May and we were comparing our chest scars at Chai's, he told me that he was starting to feel bad again. He said he was not eating properly and not exercising and he was feeliing nearly as bad as he did before the bypass. He said he could not eat properly on the road. Jeez, he was feeling it coming on. Please keep brother John in your prayers. He has a heart of gold, whether or not it is working good for him.

Me ke aloha
Malama pono,

Wow, I'm sorry to hear it. I can attest that John is a super nice guy. (We shared a hospital room at Kaiser Hospital in the telemetry unit, not exactly the best way to meet). I wish you the best John! Take care. Where can we send cards etc.?

I haven't seen the Makaha Sons in person yet, but I just wanted to say get well soon John and I'll be praying for you and wish you a speedy recovery.

Yes - I hope this valve thing fixes him up and he feels much better.

Too many great talents in health trouble these days....

Hi Wanda,

You are so sweet, you can send cards to:

Thank you so much. John is feeling much better and getting stronger every day. Now he has 2 scars he can show you. Hahahha.

Hope John is feeling better. When I saw him last year he looked great. They were supposed to be back in the Chicago area this year but haven't seen it on their itinerary.

Lovin' Lee is my favorite pasttime!!
