has anybody else noticed that our long-time friend Alana Chow has been idle for quite some time?
It wasn't until December or January, maybe, that I was talking with one of our other friends and found out that Alana passed away in October or November of last year. I'm still waiting to see if any of the people we both talked with frequently know how it happened. Alana, we will miss you very much. Aloha no makou ia 'oe!
There is a post on here somewhere. Also if you search the archives at the newspaper in Honolulu, you can get the obituary. It was very sad. She was certainly full of aloha.
