She was my friend since I was just nine years old. She was a few years older. She used to take me horseback riding in Kailua by Mount Olomana. She knew Mr. Tongg who was a big player on the Polo Field at Kapiolani Park in the good old days. Elaine became a 911 operator for HPD after high school at Farrington in the 1960's. That's back when they had the plug in corded phone bank. And even before the "dial 911". They have Elaine's wooden plug in phone bank at the HPD Museum!

Even "Mufi" Hannemann, she went to high school with him, I met him at a baby luau in Ewa Beach. He knew of me from the Wigwam days. Elaine was the most gracious and gifted friend I have ever had in my entire life! And I cried......
