Aunty Nancy--
Maggie said "oh, you get to meet Aunty Nancy!" but she didn't tell me anything else about you. Where are you from? What skills do you have already and what will you be looking to focus on?
I'm not sure how this bulletin board ssystem works. I already sent a message with nothing in it. Now I'm trying this. Look forward to meeting you.

Paid $100. RT from HNL to Moloka'i. George's Aviation 808-834-2120.
Sounds like a lot of you know each other already. This is our first time.
We're arriving Sat., June 18, probably about 2:00. Leaving HNL at 1. Would gladly share a ride with anyone else arriving about that time.
Looking forward to meeting all of you.

Puna--
No, I didn't go to Seattle. I had too much else going on already. But I'm really looking forward to AMC. My skill level is way lower than Buck's. I'm more of a musical dabbler. Maybe I'm intermediate ukulele. Making music is but one of my many interests. I like hiking and birding more than music. Buck is deeply and passionately involved, often to the exclusion of other activities. Luckily I have lots of friends to do those other things with.
I look forward to meeting you in Molokai. Are you a man or a woman?

We met Buck at the PNWHMI classes. Were you there? Awue, too many new faces and names, I don't remember (although 'Buck from Eugene' stuck in my head).
Welcome to Taropatch and AMC!

Maggie--
maybe you can explain a few things about how this system works.
What is the quote part of "reply with quote"?
What is a profile signature, and why would I want to reply with one?
What's with the smilies sitting off th the side of this reply area I'm writing in?
Can you reply just generally to the whole string, or must it be to a specific message?
Or perhaps are you always replying to the whole string, or strand, or what do you call it anyway?
You probably won'ty have a chance to check this till after your plant sale, but good luck on that.
Anybody else is welcome to answer any of these questions you can.
Hugs,
Kalena

Unfortunately, Karen (Kalena) didn't make it to the PNWHMI classes, but Buck & I were both in Dennis' intermediate slack key sessions with you. We came up from Eugene with our friend, Elizabeth (a veteran of two AMC's). Yes, it was Buck that played w/Herb Jr. (and David) at the open mic. Good memory, Jesse!

Hey Karen!
I feel kind of stupid, but I've only replied in the "quick reply" box without quotes, emoticons, or any other icons, plus emailed folks directly to their email address by clicking on to their name (which pops up an email message box). Maybe somebody else on TP can answer that question for you. Also, I sent Buck a pic of Puna and him chatting away during a break in the class. Good 'ol Jesse took that one (thanks Jesse!).

Mags--
Thanks for the info. I also found out a few things by checking out the FAQ.
Now can you, or anyone tell me where those words that show up under our ID came from, what purpose they serve. Mine says Aloha . Yours says Lakohi, or some rearrangement of the same letters.

Aloha!!
You can write just about anything you want. But it's good to stick to the topic sort of, if it's in the first 3 or 4 catagories. Pretty much anything goes in the Talk Story and introduce yourself, and this thread is all us Scouts going to Camp getting to know each other, finding out stuff we need to know while packing, and hooking up when we're there.
I haven't figured out those little smilies, but I think there was a thread about 6 months ago when Andy told us what to do.
I'll be getting to Camp on Friday afternoon along w/ Jean, Dave Nye etc. My new cyberfriend Larry who will be arriving later that night on the ferry is also a birder. And we are both divers, looking forward to making bubbles off reef on Molokai. I'm a rank beginner slacker and Larry's doing a bit better. By clicking on my name, you will get to my profile and find that I live in Manhattan Beach. By clicking on "send e-mail" you can get to me directly and then I could get back to you. Some people have pretty good info on their bios, others don't even have their names. Place is good because it helps getting folks together for kanikapila. This life in the Taropatch is for spreading Aloha as much as anything else. and how better to do that than by sharing beautiful music?
See you in 3 !!! weeks!!!!

A friend who used to live on Molokai just called and said she heard the festival scheduled for the weekend right after AMC has been cancelled. She also said sometimes false rumors spread like wildfire on Molokai, so she was going to try to find out more.
Anybody on this board heard anything, either way.

Aloha Kalena!
I think Puna is a guy - his name is Eric... I found that out by clicking on Puna in his post and that took me to his bio that says his real name is Eric Strout. Of course it might not really be his name. The picture Lawrence uses he says isn't really him (thank goodness) but that leaves the rest of his (her) info suspect as well. At one time some of us hoped more people would put more info in their bios, like where they live, so we could get together more. But some people like to hide and lurk.... I guess as long as they don't jump out of the bushes, we're OK.
See you soon!!!!!

Aloha e, Kalena
E kala mai for not responding sooner - my halau always has a retreat over memorial day weekend, so when you were typing it I was driving past you (the retreat is in Breitenbush).
Ae, I'm kane (male) - last I checked! My wife is Keonaona, a wahine nani loa.
Auntie Nancy's sleuthing was quite successful - although "'Eric'...might not really be his name" has some merit to it. My halua no longer recognizes 'Eric' - "Kamakanihali'ala'opuna" is the inoa (name) that my kumu honored me with, so to the Halau I am Puna. And, since 'Eric' did not exist for the last four days at the retreat, I am slightly disoriented this morning, back at work, trying to remember to answer when someone says 'Hey Eric!'
I look forward to meeting you (and Auntie Nancy!), and seeing Buck again. Counting the days until I board ka mokulele (the plane)...ekahi, elua, ekolu...

| Aloha from Buffalo! Erica and I will be arriving in Molokai on Friday, June 17 @ 6:55 PM and will be looking for someone to share a ride with. We have not made any rental plans, but will chip in if someone already has and has room for us. We ain't packin' much (although I'm bringing a dreadnaught guitar this time so I don't have to keep defending my cute little Baby Taylor - Hey! It really is a real guitar!) Bill |

My wife (Kathleen) and I will be arriving at Kahului at 11:23 am on Friday the 17th, spending the night in Lahaina and takeing the ferry to Molokai on Saturday the 18th. Does anybody know of any public transportation between Kahulue and Lahaina? We like poking around on local busses when possible. My travel agent says taxi is the only option. Also, is anybody else who made a uke last year bringing it back this year? I'm ashamed to say I am just now putting the final coats of finish on mine. What can I say, it has been a really busy year, but I will have it with me and expect to learn to play it a little. Looking foreward to seeing old and new friends, and just being on Molokai.

Aloha David,
I did some sleuthing earlier and found that you can catch a taxi out of the airport, but then have it drop you at the first bus-stop which is by WalMart. From there, the bus is easy since you're in the middle of the day. I'd call about the schedule, but it looks like you could catch the 1:30 bus and it takes you all the way to Lahaina. The bus doesn't run on Sundays. Another option is to rent an Enterprise car since they have an office in Lahaina too. You pay maybe $10 drop-off fee and of course they pick you up and take you back to where you need to go.
See you at Camp!
