June Corpuz, Cynthia Chu, Kuulei Fukumoto. You like hear something funny? At the reunion June goes, "Cynthia, you remember Jalna. Jalna, you remember Cynthia." We both look at each other's name tags. I go, "Yeah, sure . . . " but I'm actually thinking "I have no idea who she is." In the meantime Cynthia goes, "Hmmmm, no, I don't remember." I bust out laughing and I go, "Yeah, you know what? I don't either."

Kuulei and her mom. Her mom is 92 years old, healthy and sharp as a whip.

And here's Mike Kaawa
