About Me

Born in Hawaii - Hapa-Ha'ole (Hawaiian Half-breed) - I am rich in cultural heritage (Hawaiian, Chinese, Scot, Irish, English, German) and wholeheartedly embrace it all (but if you understand the principle of "first among equals" - then the polynesian is "first" - always) . . .Went to the war when I was young and came back - changed (maybe) - but not broken . . .Became an Eckist sometime after that, been one ever since. Been knocking around living what Life brings. Thought I had settled down, but I guess not . . .Oh, well . . . Life goes on . . . /a
